4.2 Loading the Subjects
Before loading or unloading the subjects, place a paper towel on top of the treadmill cabinet to protect the
toggle switches and indicators and not allow urine to fall inside. Turn the clips that secure the lid and fold
the lid on top of the cover. Load the subjects onto the shock grids (which are off). Reclose the lid and
secure with the clips.
Set the “REP RATE” to “1Hz” (the “INTENSITY” should already be zero).
Enable the shock stimulus for each lane by setting each toggle switch toward the front of the treadmill.
The stimulus indicator will begin to flash on the treadmill as well as the controller.
Slowly increase the “INTENSITY” until all of the subjects move from the shock grids.
Press the “ODOMETER RESET” button.
In the Normal mode (indicated by “D”), the odometer is reset to zero.
In the Time Limit mode (indicated by “T”), the odometer is replaced by a timer which is preloaded to
the duration specified in the user menu.
In the Dist Limit mode (indicated by “L”), the odometer is preloaded to the distance duration specified
in the user menu.
Then set the “TREADMILL BELT” mode to “RUN” or “ACCEL”. The mode indicator, in the middle
of the display, will show a progress bar or ramp that grows from left to right. Likewise, the odometer
will begin to count up or the duration values will begin to count down.
Observe the subjects. If any begin to rest on the shock grids, you may increase the “REP RATE” to
“2Hz”, or “3Hz” or increase the shock “INTENSITY” setting.
