Operating Instruction Workload adjustment Cycling makes the flywheel rotate and store energy. Change of the workload is done by turning the workload adjusting knob. Turning the knob clockwise will increase the workload and turning it counter clockwise will decrease the workload. See Fig: Tension knob.

Cycle adjustments Seat height should be adjusted to a comfortable position. The appropriate height is to have the knee slightly bent when the sole of the foot is centred over the pedal axle with the pedal to the bottom position. To adjust the seat height turn the quick release bolt on the saddle post and pull until the saddle post is loose. See Fig: Adjustments.

Fig: Tension knob

The handlebar setting should be in a comfortable position when cycling. During longer exercise sessions it is recommended to occasionally change handlebar position. The handlebar is adjusted by loosening the locking knob on the handlebar. See Fig: Adjustments.

Main display

Lower display

Press any key or move the pedal gives a signal to the meter that activates all functions.

The count down function in the lower display window can be set in time or distance - minutes or kilometres. Press MODE key to activate. Display will then start flashing. While flashing press MODE again and it will change between time and distance. As long as it is flashing the figures can be changed. Use the buttons (+) or (-) to increase or decrease value. At setting value flashes for 15 seconds. To change setting again activate by press the MODE key. When pedalling starts the count down begins. When reaching zero a beeper sounds.

This display shows Speed, Distance, Time and Heartrate. As soon as the subject begins pedalling activates the meter and all readings on the display. Time count starts when pedalling begins and Time count stops if pedalling is stopped. Time is only displayed in minutes. A ”P” in the Heartrate display indicate that the meter has not detected any heartrate signals. The signals comes from a wireless heartrate transmitter/ chestbelt which can be bought as an accessory (Art. No: 9339‑98). The electrodes on the transmitter shall be moistened a little before it is put on the chest. Moistening the electrodes makes the pulse signal good already from start. The chest belt/transmitter is to be placed just below the chest muscles.

The calorie consumption shows in the lower display. Press MODE to change view between time, distance and calories. NOTE! To show KCAL in the display you must use chestbelt.

Reset key Press RESET key to zero Speed and Distance in the main display. An automatic reset is also made after an automatic turn off of the computer.

Km/Miles For setting of km or miles press MODE until ”km” start flashing. Use the buttons (+) or (-) to change to miles.

Turn off After two minutes the computer will turn off automatically if there is no speed or HR-signal detected. At an automatic turn off all parameters are set to zero.

Maintenance Do not expose the meter to direct sunlight or extremely high temperature. Do not use any dissolvents when cleaning. Use only dry cloth.

Heart rate

Calories

If chestbelt is used (available as a accessory) A person's heart rate can be measured with a chest belt that senses the electronic output of the heart. Chestbelt is not included but available as an accessory. Fuss-free HR measurement requires that the belt is correctly placed. When it is correctly fitted the logo on the belt will be central and readable, outward and upright, by another person. Before putting on the belt, clean the skin where the belt is to be placed. The chest belt should be secured at a comfortable tension around the mid section, just below the breast muscle, see Fig: Placement of the chest belt. Moisten the electrodes before use, see Fig: Electrodes on the back of the chest belt. To make contact with the HR receiver on the bike, the distance should not be more than 100 cm. It is especially important when first used to identify the chest belt with the sensor, by standing close to get the HR (maximum 60 cm).

There have been different theories to how to calculate this since it is depending on a lot of factors and this means that it can only be seen as an estimate. As standard calculation when we display calories on our calibrated bikes we use: 1 minute with 100W gives 7 kcal. It is easy to convert watts to calories if it was on the flywheel, the formula is 1W=0,2388x10-3 kcal/s with four decimals. But when you normally show calories you want to show the total amount of calories your body has used during your training, not only the calories "burnt" on the flywheel. We have chosen the formula given above that we think complies with the results given for a standard cycle position.

NOTE! Electromagnetic waves may disturb heart rate function. Cellular phones are not allowed to be used near the bike during test.

Trouble shooting guide Symptoms

Probable Cause / Corrective Action

The display is not working

•

Check that the batteries are OK.

No heart rate displayed

•

(chestbelt, not included, Art. No: 9339‑98)

•

Check the chestbelt (battery). Wet the thumbs and place them on the electrodes. A low clicking sound will appear near battery lid while you click on the electrodes with one thumb. Check that the chest belt is positioned correct on test person and tight enough. Check that the electrodes are wet, in hard cases it is necessary to use a contact gel or a mixture of water with a few drops of washing-up liquid. The level for HR signal can vary from person to person. Put chest belt on another known person who has a good pulse rendering.

Uneven heart rate

•

Use an external unit for example a HR watch to check if it also indicates irregular pulse. If this is the case, there is probably disturbance in the room. Magnetic fields from high voltage cables, elevators, fluorescent tube etc. can cause the disturbance. Other electronic equipment could be placed too close. Move the bike to a different location in the room or change rooms. If an irregular HR remains it should be checked manually If the HR remains irregular at work the person's health should be examined.

There is a click noise with every pedal • revolution (increases with the weight) • •

The pedals are not tight. Tighten them or change pedals. The crank is loose. Check, tighten. The base bearing is loose. Contact your dealer for service.

Scratching sound is heard when pedalling

Check that the carriage block is taken off and that none of the covers is scratching.

•

There is a click noise and a squeak noise • when pedalling.

Loosen the chain.

• We recommend isopropyl alcohol to disinfect the surface of the bike. Use a damp but not wet cloth to clean the surface you wish to disinfect. • Always keep the bike clean and well lubricated (once a week). • Periodically wipe the surface with a rust preventative, especially when it has been cleaned and the surface is dry. This is done to protect the chrome and zinc parts as well as the painted parts (4 times per year). • Check now and then that both pedals are firmly tightened. If not the threading in the pedal arms will be damaged. Also check that pedal arms are firmly tightened on the crank axle, tighten if necessary. When the Ergometer is new it is important to tighten the pedals after 5 hours of pedalling (4 times per year). • Check that the pedal crank is secure to the crank axle (4 times per year). • Be sure that the pedals are moving smoothly, and that the pedal axle is clear of dirt and fibres (4 times per year). • When cleaning and lubricating be sure to check that all screws and nuts are properly tightened (twice a year). • Check that the chain is snug and there is no play in the pedal crank (twice a year). • Check that pedals, chain and freewheel sprocket are lubricated (twice a year). • Be sure that the brake belt does not show significant signs of wear (twice a year). • Check that the handlebars and seat adjustment screws are lubricated (2 times per year). • Be sure that all moving parts, crank and flywheel are working normally and that no abnormal play or sound exists. I.e. play in bearings causes fast wearing and with that follows a highly reduced lifetime. • Check that the flywheel is placed in the center and with plane rotation.

Batteries If the meter is battery-operated, the batteries are in a separate package at delivery. If the storing time has been long the battery power can be too low to make the computer act correctly. Batteries must then be changed.

Alt. 3: To loosen the brake belt on the bike remove all tension. Please note how the belt is assembled. Remove it from the bike. Attach the new brake belt and assemble the bike in reverse order. NOTE! When replacing the brake belt it is recommended to clean the brake surface. See ”Brake belt contact surface”.

Flywheel bearing The crank bearing is long term greased and requires no supplementary lubrication. If a problem arises, please contact your Monark dealer.

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

Transportation During transport the brake cord should be tightened to prevent it from falling off the flywheel.

Replacement of brake belt To replace the brake belt remove covers if necessary. Make sure that the belt is loose.

Brake belt contact surface 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 contact surface of the flywheel should be smoothed with fine sandpaper and any dust removed with a clean dry cloth. Remove any potential covers and all workload on the brake belt and then remove it. Grind with a fine sand paper. Grinding is easier to perform if a second individual cautiously and carefully pedals the cycle. Irregularities on the brake belt contact surface are removed by means of a fine sand paper or an abrasive cloth. Otherwise unnecessary wear on the brake belt may occur and the unit can become noisy. Always keep the brake belt contact surface clean and dry. No lubricant should be used. We recommend replacing the brake belt when cleaning the contact surface. In regard to assembly and adjustment of the brake belt, see ”Replacement of brake belt”.

Alt. 1: To loosen the brake belt on pendulum bikes with engine, connect power to the unit and raise the pendulum to 4 kp. Hold it there until brake belt is loose. Please note how the belt is assembled. Remove it from the bike. Attach the new brake belt and assemble the bike in reverse order. Alt. 2: To loosen the brake cord on cycles with a weight basket set the basket to its upper position. Loosen the lock washer that is holding the cord and remove it from the tension center. Loosen or cut of the knot in the other end of the cord and then remove the hole cord from the bike. When assembling a new brake cord, first enter one end into the hole in the tension center, and tie a knot and let the knot fall into the bigger part of the hole. Lock the end of the cord with the lock washer.

Chain 1/2“ x 1/8“ 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 (3) of 10 mm (1/4 inch). See Fig: Chain adjustments. When the play in the chain is about 20 mm (3/4 inch) the chain must be tightened. Otherwise it will cause abnormal wear of the chain and sprockets. Therefore it is always recommended to keep the chain play as little as possible. Loosen the hub nut(2) on both sides and tense the chain with the chain adjuster(1) when needed. When the chain has become so long that it can no longer be tightened with the chain adjusters it is worn out and shall be replaced with a new one.

To adjust or replace the chain, remove covers if required. Fig: Chain adjustments 1) Chain adjuster 2) Axle nut 3) Chain play

When adjusting the chain, the hub nuts (2) become loose. Loosening or tightening the nuts on the chain adjusters (1) will then move the hub and axle forward or backward. Then tighten the nuts on the hub axle again. See Fig: Chain adjustments. To replace the chain, loosen the chain adjusters as much as possible. Dismantle the chain lock (6) and remove the chain. Use a pair of tongs for dismantling spring. Put on a new chain and assemble the chain lock. The spring of the chain lock should be assembled with the closed end in the movement direction(5) of the chain. Use a pair of tongs for dismantling and assembling the spring (4). See Fig: Chain replacement. NOTE! At assembly the flywheel has to be parallell with the centerline of the frame. Otherwise the chain and sprockets makes a lot of noise and wears out rapidly. Then assemble the removed parts as above but in reverse order.

Freewheel sprocket When replacing the freewheel sprocket remove frame covers if necessary. Remove the chain according to section ”Chain 1/2” x 1/8””. Loosen the axle nuts and lift off the flywheel. Remove the axle nut, washer, chain adjuster and spacer on the freewheel side. Replace sprocket-adapter and assemble the new parts in reverse order according to the above. NOTE! Do not tighten the axle nut completely. It must be possible to loosen the adapter-sprocket half a turn. The sprocket should be lubricated with a few drops of oil once a year. Tilt the cycle to make it easier for the oil to reach the bearing. See Fig: Lubrication.
