CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW EXERCISE BIKE
designed by Monark ExerciseAB, Sweden. Monark has been the worlds leading manufacturer of high quality
ergometers and exercise cycles for more than 40 years.
GENERAL
It is important that you keep your ergometer clean and properly lubricated. Most important is to protect the
chromed and zinced parts but also painted parts benefit from the same protection.
When cleaning and lubricating be sure to check that all screws and nuts are properly tightened.
Be sure that all moving parts as crank and flywheel is working normal and that no unnormal play or sound
excists. I. e. play in bearings causes fast waring and with that follows a highly reduced lifetime.
PLEASE NOTE: The production number of your exercise cycle is placed according to fig 1 page 6.
WARRANTY
As on any quality product there may be an exceptional fault due to material or manufacture. If such a fault
should arise on your exercise cycle, please return to the place of purchase for necessary repair.
Monark products and parts are guaranteed against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one
year from the initial date of purchase of the unit.
Parts found to need replacement due to normal wear and tear, such as brake belts, are not covered. This
guarantee covers parts only, not labor costs associated with the repair.
This guarantee does not apply to cases of abuse or vandalism, nor does it extend to any injury or loss to per-
son or property caused directly or indirectly by any Monark products.
In the event of a defect in material or workmanship during the warranty period, Monark Exercise will repair or
replace (at its option) the product. Monark Exercise will do so at its expense for the cost of materials but not
for labour or shipping

comfortable and that the sadle post bracket is firmly
tightened. In order to change the inclination of the
saddle, loosen the saddle bracket and tighten firmly
again.
Adjust to desired height position of saddle/saddle
post by loosening the saddle post bolt.
NOTE: Tighten firmly. See fig 3.
Assemble the electronic meter.

Before the handlebar stem is assembled be sure the
expanding wedge is loose. Insert the handlebar stem
into the frame tube and tighten the expanding bolt
firmly by means of the lever.The handlebar stem
should be inserted into the frame tube at least 7.5
cm (about 3 inches). Usually this measure is marked
out.
To change the height of the handlebar, loosen the
expanding bolt about 5 mm. Give the bolt a light
push to release the expanding wedge.Adjust the
handlebar to the desired position and tighten the
expanding bolt again by means of the lever.
In order to change the inclination of the handlebar,
loosen the expanding bolt one turn.Adjust to
desired angle of handlebar and tighten the expanding
bolt firmly again.

NB! Check now and then that both pedals are still
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. If nessecary tighten.
Pedal marked R (Right) is to be assembled on the right
hand side of the cycle (the chain wheel side). The pedal
axle has a right hand thread and must be threaded onto the
crank clockwise. Tighten firmly. See fig 6.

OPERATION INSTRUCTION
The Monark Exercise cycle Model 817E is a training cycle with an adjustable brake
resistance.
The cycle is equipped with an electronic meter showing pedal revulotions per
minute (RPM), heart rate in bpm (HR), exercise time in minutes and seconds
(TIME), an imagined cycling speed in km per hour or miles per hour (SPEED),
covered distance in km or mile (DISTANCE).
When pedalling the subject supplies the flywheel with a certain kinetic energy.This is
braked by means of a brake belt which runs around the bigger part of the brake sur-
face of the flywheel. The brake power is changed either by using another pedalling
speed or by increasing or decreasing the tension of the brake belt against the
flywheel by means of the load tension device. The harder the load is adjusted the
larger part of the indicator window turns red. See fig. 7.
The height of the saddle should be adjusted so that, when sitting comfortably with the
middleof the foot above the pedal axle and with the pedal in its lowest position, the
knee should only be slightly bent.
The adjustment of the handlebar should give a comfortable ride. When cycling for a
long time, it may be suitable some time during the exercise to change the position of
the handlebar.
NOTE! At transport the tension device should be somewhat tightened to
prevent the brake belt from falling off the fltwheel.
