PC Maintenance

I only use my PC 3-5 times per year to do my own personal vehicles and the occassionial friend/family car. I've had it for about two years now (maybe 3, I'm not sure), and I think it's due for some preventative maintenance.



It seems to work ok, but when I turn it off and the pad is still spinning a bit on its own momentum, I can hear a sort of squeaking noise as the motor slows down. Like it needs to be oiled or greased.



Is there any regular maintenance/lubrication that I should be doing to keep this thing in working order?
 
Less- Yeah, the PC can sound like it's ready to explode, but that really is normal. I've never maintained either of mine and they've had a *LOT* of hard use. The one needed rebuilt after maybe five years (cost about $75) but the other has never needed anything. I'd just use it until it dies, if it ever does, and then have it repaired.



Sheesh, sounds like I'm one of those guys who abuses/neglects their tools :o



But AFAIK the PC isn't a user-serviceable unit like the Cyclo. The latter is supposed to be lubricated in a few spots but the PC manual doesn't say anything like that IIRC.
