Since the early 1900s, Monark’s cycles have been living proof of precision, reliability, strength and service. That is one of the reasons we are now the words leader in cycle ergometers and the market leader in Scandinavia in transport cycles.
2 Product Information Congratulations on your new Ergometer. It is possible to build personal programs that are Monark Ergomedic 839 E is one of the world’s custom made for the user. The bike can also be most precise and user-friendly computerized pe- used for manual training.
3 Operation Instruction 3.1 Operate the ergometer 3.3 Cycle adjustments Ergomedic 839 E is built on a stabile frame, a Seat height should be adjusted to a comfortable large well balanced flywheel, a break belt and a position. A suitable height is when your knee is pendulum weight which measure the force.
