Running Belt Tracking Adjustment - GE T2100-ST1 Service Manual

Running Belt Tracking Adjustment

This procedure requires the following tool:
NOTE:
The patented MasterTrack
reduces the need to adjust the belt on your T2100-ST1 or T2100-
ST2 treadmill. However, when you operate your T2100-ST1 or
T2100-ST2 treadmill for the first time, you may need to adjust
the tracking of the belt to conform to your floor. You may also
need to adjust the tracking if you move the machine to another
location.
Your running belt should remain centered, although a slight
amount of movement to the left or right is normal during use. Do
not allow the running belt to travel all the way to either side.
To adjust the belt tracking, do the following:

Because this adjustment is not covered under your
warranty, it is important that you review these instructions
thoroughly before proceeding.
Turn the treadmill's power switch to ON.
Increase the speed to 3 mph (4.8 km/h)
Observe the left side of the running belt as it travels over
the rear roller. If the belt runs to the right side of the roller,
turn the right bolt 1/8 turn clockwise, and turn the left bolt
1/16 turn counterclockwise.
NOTE:
When tightening one side of the belt, always loosen
the opposite side one-half as much. This procedure
provides finer control, with a smaller impact on the
belt tension.
Check the belt after 2 minutes, with the treadmill running
at approximately 7 mph (11.3 km/h). If the belt does not
correct itself, continue with slight turns until the belt is in
the center of the rear roller. If the belt runs toward the left
side of the roller, reverse the adjustments.
NOTE:
Uneven floors accelerate belt misalignment. This
situation may require more frequent adjustment to
prevent belt damage.
