Transport

At transport the brake cord should be somewhat
tightened to prevent it from falling off the fly-
wheel.
Please note: The production number of your Er-
gometer is placed according to fig: Serial num-
ber.

Batteries

The batteries, 2 x 1.5V size AA(R6), which are
placed in a holder inside of the meter. These can
easily be changed. Remove the battery hatch and
take out the old batteries and replace them with
new ones.

Lubrication of the freewheeling sprocket

The sprocket should be lubricated with a few
drops of oil once a year. Tilt the device somewhat
to make it easier for the oil to reach the bearing.

Chain 1/2" x 1/8"

It´s strongly recommended that a chain solvent
is used to keep the chain clean. Much dirt built
up on the chain will cause excess wear. A chain
lubricant and solvent for normal road bikes may
be used.
Check the lubrication and tension of the chain at
regular intervals. In the middle of its free length
the chain should have a minimum play of 5 mm.
When the play in the chain is about 20 mm (<1
inch) the chain must be tightened otherwise it
will cause unnormal wear of the chain and chain-
wheels. When the chain has become so long that
it can no longer be adjusted, it is worn out and
shall be reolaced with a new one.

Crank bearing

1
The crank bearing is long term greased and needs
normally no supplementary lubrication. If pro-
blem arises, please contact your Monark dealer.

Flywheel bearing

The bearings in the flywheel are lifetime greased
and require normally no maintenance. If problem
arises, please contact your Monark dealer.

Brake belt

The brake belt should be regularly checked to en-
sure that it has not suffered excessive wear. If it
looks worn it should be replaced. Deposits of dirt
on the brake belt and on the contact surface may
cause the unit to operate unevenly and will also
wear down the brake belt. The brake belt contact
of the flywheel surface should then be ground off
with fine sand paper and any dust removed with
a clean dry cloth.
Always keep the brake belt contact surface clean
and dry. No lubricant should be used. We recom-
mend to replacing the brake belt when cleaning
the contact surface.
