How can I adjust the Brake Assembly on the Bowflex Max Total 40 crosstrainer?

To adjust the Brake Assembly on the Bowflex Max Total 40 crosstrainer, follow these steps: 1. Using a 10mm open-end wrench, remove the screws that connect the Brake Assembly and remove it. 2. Attach the new Brake Assembly, but do not fully tighten the hardware. 3. Attach the Brake Disc. 4. Reattach the Brake Spring and the Brake Cable to the Brake Arm, and adjust it to the tape marker. Tighten the hardware that attaches to the Brake Cable to a torque of 2.6-3.0 Nm. 5. At the maximum resistance setting, ensure that the outer edge of the Brake Magnet lines up with the outer edge of the Brake Disc. 6. While applying upward pressure to the Brake Arm, remove the hardware that secures the Brake Cable to the Brake Arm using a 2.5mm hex wrench. Gradually lower the Brake Arm, taking note that the Spring will pull the Brake Arm once released. You can place an object under the Brake Arm to provide resistance during the release of the Brake Cable Hardware. 7. Remove the Brake Spring from the Brake Arm. To align the Brake Magnets with the Brake Disc and center them, follow these steps: 1. Check if the Brake Magnets are aligned and centered around the Brake Disc. If they are not aligned and centered, it means the Magnets are adding drag. 2. If the Brake Assembly only needs slight adjustment, loosen the front screw that secures the Brake Assembly using a 10mm hex wrench. Rotate the Brake Assembly until the Magnets are aligned and at an equal distance from the Brake Disc. 3. If the Brake Assembly needs to be fully shifted, loosen the 2 screws that secure the assembly and shift it until it is centered and aligned with the Brake Disc. Fully tighten the hardware. 4. Complete the installation by following the reverse procedure. 5. Finally, inspect your machine to ensure that all hardware is tight and components are properly assembled. Do not use the machine until it has been fully assembled and inspected for correct performance according to the Owner's Manual. Please note that these instructions are based on the Bowflex Max Total 40 crosstrainer manual and may vary slightly depending on the specific model or version.
