Probably either the dowel that connects the moderator to the pedalwork is disconnected on one or the other end, or the pedal itself needs adjusment. I have seen the felt to loosen from the moderator rail (bad glue) and also have seen the rail mounted less then perfect. The biggest problem with Petrofs pedal work is most often creaking and cracking and buzzing noises. Take your usual tools along and some lubricating materials, perhaps a bit of diverse felt if you dont usually carry that with you. Dont expect any big problems.
