Monark 828 E

Product Information

Facts

Congratulations on your new Ergometer!

• • • • • • • •

The Monark 828 E is the world’s most commonly used exercise ergometer. The adjustable brake system and the force can be set and read Kiloponds (kp) and Newton (N). The actual brake power is showed in Watts on the electronic meter. The cycle is equipped with an electronic meter showing pedal revolutions per minute (RPM), heart rate in bpm (HR), exercise time in minutes and seconds (TIME), speed in km per hour or miles per hour (SPEED), covered distance in km or mile (DISTANCE), burned Calories (CAL) and the power on the cycle (WATT). The watt level depends on pedalling speed, it can be fine tuned by increasing or decreasing the speed or pedal rpm. Each 828 E is calibrated at the factory. This means that you can begin to use the Ergometer directly after assembly. However, if the user wishes to verify the scale, please read the instruction for “Calibration” in this manual.

Operating Instruction Workload device The 828 E uses a brake belt system to control the resistance. A change of the workload is done either by changing the pedalling speed or by turning the workload adjusting knob(1). See fig: Workload device.

Power measurement 1

The cycle is designed to measure the power on the flywheel, because tests/protocols are made for it (for example Åstand’s and YMCA).

Fig: Workload device (1)

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 loosen the lever on the seat tube(1). See fig: Adjustments.

2

The handlebar setting shall give a comfortable position when cycling. During longer exercise sessions it is recommended to occasionally change the handlebar position. To adjust the handlebar loosen the quick release lever(2). See fig: Adjustments.

Press any button or move the pedal to turn on the meter. At the display for heart rate (HR) a heart symbol is lit which means that the meter is trying to find a pulse signal from an external source (chestbelt with electrodes, Art. No: 9339-98). If the meter can not find the heart rate signal the HR-function is automatically turned off after 30 seconds. When the function is turned off the heart symbol is not lit any more. The heart rate function can be turned on again by pressing a key. The timer starts automatically when the pedals are moved. Meter values for Time, Distance and Calories can be set to zero by pressing the RESET-key for more than two seconds. To get correct readings for calories and watts, the kp-value on the electronic meter has to be set to the same value as the pendulum, or the kpwindow shown to the left of the electronic meter. Example: The pendulum and the kp-window is showing 2 kp. Press the kp-key to the left on the meter. The lower display window is now showing figures in kp. Increase or decrease in steps of 0.1 kp by pressing the kp-key - (arrow up) or the RESET-key - (arrow down) until the reading corresponds with the actual or desired kpvalues on the pendulum scale or in the kp-window. After that press the CAL/WATT-button to either show the CAL- or WATT-figures. The watt reading in the display is depending on the pedalling speed. The watt reading can then be fine tuned through increase or decrease of the pedalling speed. Calories are calculated all the time.

Heart Rate A person's heart rate can be measured with a chest belt that senses the electronic output of the heart. The chest belt is standard equipment. 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). NOTE! Electromagnetic waves can interfere with the telemetry system. Cellular phones are not allowed to be used near the bike during test. MONARK

Scale - zero adjustment

Calibration

Loosen tension device so that the brake belt feels loose. Check that the pendulum will hang in vertical position.

Although all Ergometers are calibrated at the factory the user may wish to verify this by performing a mechanical scale calibration. If so please do the following.

Scale board: Check that the index on the pendulum(2) weigh is aligned with the index at the 0-position on the scale board. If adjustment is necessary, first loosen the locknut(1) and then change the position of the board. Tighten the lock-nut after the adjustment. See fig: Scale adjustments. Kp-scale: At the same time, check that the kilopond-scale(5) to the left of the meter, shows 0 in line with the index. To adjust the kp-scale loosen the lockscrew for scale indicator(9). Tighten the screw firmly after the adjustment. See fig: Calibration, Adjustment kp-scale window.

1 2

Remove the brake belt from the spring. Lean the bike forward so that the calibration weight, 4 kg(4) (Art. No: 9000-211) is hanging independently from the frame cover. Be sure that the scale board is set to zero before the weight is put on, see section ”Scale zero adjustment”. Put the weight on on the spring(6). When correctly set, it should be possible to read this weight from the corresponding place on the scale board(7). See fig: Calibration. Should there be a deviation, adjust the pendulum to the correct weight on the scale by means of the adjusting weight inside the pendulum(3). See fig: Scale adjustment. To change the position of the adjusting weight, loosen the lock screw(8) on the back of the pendulum weight. Should the index of the pendulum weight be too low, move the adjusting weight upwards in the weight and if the index should be too high the adjusting weight is moved somewhat downwards and locked in the new position. Repeat until the correct reading is achieved. Check the calibration of the pendulum weight once a year or when needed. 5

Troubleshooting guide Symptoms

Probably cause/measure

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 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.

No heart rate displayed

•

• •

Check that the battery is alright in the chest belt, moisten your thumbs and click on the electrodes, a low clicking sound will be heard at the battery cover, alternatively that the heart rate is displayed in the computer software. Make sure the belt fits correctly on the test person, see Fig: Placement of the chest belt in section “Heart Rate (telemetry)”, and that the strap is sufficiently tightened. Moisten the electrodes, in severe cases it may be necessary to use gel alternative one drop of dish washing liquid mixed in water. Pulse signal strength varies from person to person. Try the belt with a person known to have a good pulse wearhing the chest belt. Check for loose cables or jack if you have a plug-in receiver. Use another HR receiver (HR watch or test bike monitor) to check the chestbelt. Check that it is the correct receiver and that it is in the correct place. Does it have a round Polar logo, the right way up. In case of problems, turn off cellphones and WiFi, Bluetooth and similar on computers nearby.

Service

Service check and maintenance

Note that the text about service and maintenance is universal and that all parts may not be relevant to your bike.

It is important to carry out a regular service on your ergometer, to ensure it is kept in good condition. Service action:

Warning Make sure the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to the local mains voltage before making connections.

•

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.

•

Clean and lubricate your Ergometer weekly.

•

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 that pedals are firmly tightened. If not, the threading in the pedal arms will be damaged. Also check that the 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 (2 times per 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 (twice a year).

•

Be sure that all moving parts, crank and flywheel are working normal and that no abnormal play or sound excsists. 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 be changed.

Alt. 3: To loosen the belt on other bikes remove all possible tension. Observe how the belt is connected. Take it apart and remove it from the bike. Attach the new brake belt and assemble the bike in reverse order.

Crank bearing

NOTE: When replacing the brake belt it is recommended to clean the brake surface. See ”Brake belt contact surface”.

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

Flywheel bearing The bearings in the flywheel are greased and do not normally require maintenance. If a problem arises, please contact your Monark dealer.

Transport At transport the brake belt 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. Alt. 1: To loosen the belt on pendulum bikes with a motor, turn the power on and move the pendulum to 4 kp. Hold it there until the brake belt is loose. Observe how the belt is connected. Take it apart and remove it from the bike. Attach the new brake belt and assemble the bike in reverse order.

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 covers and loosen the tension on the brake belt. Smooth with fine sandpaper. This 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 sandpaper 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. 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 off the knot on the other end of the cord and then remove the whole cord from the bike. When assembling a new brake cord, first enter one end into the hole in the tension center, 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. Fig: Brake belt contact surface

Chain 1/2“ x 1/8“ It is strongly recommended to keep the chain clean. Dirt build-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(3) of 10 mm (1/4 inch). See fig: Chain adjustments. When the play in the chain is about 20 mm (3/4 inch) it must be tightened otherwise it will cause abnormal wear of the chain and chainwheels. Because of this 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.

1 3

When the chain has become so long that it can no longer be tightened with the chain adjusters it is worn out and should be replaced with a new one.

Fig: Chain adjustments 1) Chain adjuster 2) Hub nut 3) Chain play

To adjust or replace the chain remove frame covers if necessary. To adjust the chain the hub nuts(2) should be loosened. Loosening or tightening the nuts on the chain adjusters(1) will then move the hub and axle forward or backward. Adjust according to above recommendation. Then tighten the nuts on the hub axle again. See fig: Chain adjustments. To replace the chain, loosen the chain adjuster as much as possible. Dismantle the chain lock(6) and remove the chain. 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 parallel with the centerline of the frame otherwise the chain and chain wheels make a lot of noise and wear out rapidly. Adjust chain adjusters to allow chain play according to above. Tighten hub nuts firmly. Replace frame covers.

Freewheel sprocket When replacing the freewheel sprocket remove frame covers if necessary. Dismantle the chain as described in part ”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. Place the special remover (Art. No: 9100-14) in the adaptor and place the spacer and axle nut outside. See fig: Special remover. Replace sprocketadaptor 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 adaptor-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.
