if it's like my Brent wheels the footpedal must be taken apart to get access to some tuning knobs. i have a wheel that creeps, but just haven't taken the footpedal apart for some 10 years... i just learn to deal with it or trim on the other wheel if i bugs me...

see ya

Jason,

If the Pacifica is anything like a Brent. There are
speed controls inside the foot pedal. One for high
speed and one for low. the speed is controled by
turning the controls.

I hope that this helps,
Darnie
