When to Adjust

Walking Belt Tension Adjustment

Revision A
Maintenance: Walking Belt Tracking and Tension Adjustment
WARNING
Keep hands, hair, jewelry, and loose clothing away from
moving parts.
The GE T2100 Treadmill walking-belt tension is set at the factory.
However, you should test the belt tracking every time the GE T2100
Treadmill is moved. Run the GE T2100 Treadmill for several minutes
with no one exercising. If the belt tracks to one side or the other, then you
must adjust the belt tracking.
It is not unusual for the GE T2100 Treadmill belt to move slightly off
center while a person with a heavy gait is exercising. A properly adjusted
belt re-centers itself when the person steps off the GE T2100 Treadmill.
If the belt does not re-center, check the GE T2100 Treadmill level and
adjust the belt tracking as described.
1. Use the controlling equipment to set the walking belt speed to 3 – 5
km/h (2 – 3 mph).
2. Hold on to the handrails, mount the GE T2100 Treadmill, and begin
walking at a normal pace.
3. Hold on to the handrails tightly and step harder and heavier onto the
walking belt, adding more pressure and weight.
NOTE
The belt tension should be just enough to keep the belt from
slipping.
4. Adjust the tension bolts until the walking belt does not slip.
