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.
Flywheel bearing
The flywheel bearing is long-term greased and requires
no supplementary lubrication. If a problem arises,
please contact your Monark dealer.
Crank bearing
The crank bearing is greased and normally requires
no supplementary lubrication. 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.
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 as-
semble 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 off
the knot on the other end of the cord and then re-
move the whole 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.
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. 3: To loosen the brake belt on the bike remove
all tension. Please note how the belt is assembled. Re-
move 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 sur-
face”.
