Brake Misaligned
(HI HIITMill X)
1. If during use the brake is rubbing on the flywheel, the
brake will need to be inspected and aligned. To do this,
first remove the shrouds covering the brake assembly
(Fig. 1).
Fig. 1
2. Increase the resistance to the maximum level in order
to lower the brake down over the flywheel. None of
the magnets should be touching the flywheel. If the
magnets are contacting the flywheel, the first step is to
remove the three
screws that secure the brake carriage
to the frame (Fig. 2). Move the brake bracket so that
the three screws can be secured into the frame without
passing through the bracket, then reinstall the hard-
ware and torque to 27 lb-ft (37Nm).

3. Remove the hardware from Step 2, then reinstall
the brake bracket but
DO NOT TIGHTEN YET.
Twist/
move the brake carriage until
ALL
magnets have even
clearance between the flywheel (Fig. 3), then have
another person tighten the three screws securing the
brake bracket to the frame. Finally, reattach the shrouds
removed in step 1.
NOTE:
The flywheel guard has been removed to show
clarity, it is not necessary to remove it in order to adjust
the brake carriage.
