FELT BRAKE PAD RESTORATION

Over time the brake pad on your CPS 9300 Indoor Cycle may squeak during workout. Use the following
procedure to refresh the brake pad:
1. Turn the TENSION KNOB(34) counterclockwise as far as it can go (about six turns).
2. Disassemble the BRAKE(39) by removing the ROUND HEAD SCREWS(M5x0.8x30)(59), WASHERS(M5)
(68), and NYLOCK NUTS(M5x0.8)(64).
3. Inspect the Felt Bracket Pad on the BRAKE(39) and make sure it still has a good thick felt that doesn’t
crumble off during the checking.
4. The squeak is probably due to hardening or glazing of the Felt Brake Pad. Use a hard bristle wire brush
to rough up and clean the Felt Brake Pad. Once the felt has been roughed up, trim any excess felt from
around the edges and saturate the felt with silicone spray.
5. After it is completely dry, re-install the BRAKE(39) with the same hardware from Step 2.
