CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW EXERCISE BIKE
designed by Monark Exercise AB, 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
person 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

Tip the cycle forward. Assemble the rear
supporting tube with two bolts and two
nuts.
NOTE: Use the accompanying spanner.
See fig 1.
Tip the cycle backwards. Assemble the front
supporting tube with two nuts onto the two
fixed bolts.
NOTE: Use the accompanying spanner.
See fig 2.

Check that the inclination of the saddle is
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.

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.
NOTE: The handlebar stem should be inserted
into the frame tube at least 7.5 cm (about 3
inches). See fig. 4.
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/
lever firmly again.

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.
Pedal marked L (Left) is to be assembled on the left hand
side of the cycle. The pedal axle has a left hand thread and
must be threaded onto the crank counter clockwise. Tighten
firmly.See fig 5.
NOTE! 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.

OPERATION INSTRUCTION
The Monark Exercise Ergometer Model 828E is a test cycle which has an adjustable brake
system where the brake force can be set/read in kilopond (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 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), burned Calories (CAL) and the power on the cycle(WATT).
The watt reading is depending on the pedalling speed which means that the watt figure can
be fine tuned by means of increasing or decreasing the speed or pedal rpm.
When pedalling the subject supplies the flywheel with a kinetic energy.This is braked by
means of a brake belt which runs around the bigger part of the brake surface of the
flywheel. The brake power is changed either by using other 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 figure, in kp or N, the
pendelum will show on the force scale and the watt figure can be read in the watt display
on the electronic meter. The kp figure can also be read in the kp window beside the
electronic meter. See fig. 6.
