Problem: Loud Squealing Sound From the Brake
Solution:
A. Use a Phillips Head screwdriver to remove the bolt and spring from
the brake assembly. (See Figure 1.)
B. Slide the brake pads out of the assembly.
C. Rough up the surface with a wire brush if the pads look
glossy.
D. Saturate the brake pads with silicone lubricant after they
have been roughed up.
E. Replace the brake pads.
F. Tighten the bolt and spring to the pads only finger-tight. This
gives the brake pads a longer life.

Problem: Brake Pads are too Tight on Minimum Resistance
Solution: Turn the resistance knob all the way to the right
(maximum resistance) and let it sit for two hours. This
compresses the guide rod springs allowing space
between the pads and the flywheel. (See Figure 2.)
