Calibration on treadmill achieved from rear of unit. Lubricate the drive belt (very little) with white lithium grease and same grease on elevators racks.
Wow, it feels like every time I have multi hour repair job recently within the past year or so, you’ve come out with a video about it a few days later…. Are you friends with the algorithm!?
We still have a T-2000 from when it was a Marquette product. The T-2000/2100 treadmills are absolute workhorses. I've been working on these for over 12 years and had no idea about the silicon lubricant for the belt, it is not specified in the service manual so I assumed the wax on the walking board was the lubricant. Usually we vacuum out the area under the cover, flip the drive belt for even wear and tear, and clean the rollers. We had a Tech that was lubricating the drive belt with lithium grease but that caused it to disintegrate so we stopped doing that. We also have the diagnostic software for these which for some reason G.E will not provide anymore.
The manual doesn't say anything about lubricant but as these units get older, more wear on the deck is obvious, and plus you can tell the sound after a lube. The motor is quieter, and the belt isn't as loud while under load.
May have been using too much grease. The grease does not serve as a true lubricant but is only used to keep the belt from squeaking during low humidity times. The drive belt is cogged so I don’t recommend “flipping it over”. A aftermarket replacement is $20, use a name brand.
Good video. I'm pretty weak on my knowledge of these things so honestly, I could use the more in-depth video for treadmills. Please, the next time you tear one apart, bring along a camera assistant and make the most of it.
@@denniss4455 oh man, where do I begin haha. Long story short, I got a call the treadmill wasn’t calibrated correctly. I went through numerous calibration boards, micro switches, potentiometers and power boards. Nothing worked.
you needed to wear armpit belts really - when oxygen et al are out of bounds it stops the test equipment. And sounds the ALARM ;) 1992 rig, what I've seen at least.
Clean printhead and optical sensor on printer assy, I use alcohol prep pad (easy to find at these places).

That _amazing_ keyboard "when I was young" :)
Treadmill is too close wall.

@@BetterBiomedChannel Ok good to know, I'll order in a can of silicon lubricant and try it out.

Bad memories from the T2100
Why bad memories?

Wow! You must have good memories of that previous tech that work on it.
