Service check and Maintenance

It is important to carry out a regular service on your

ergometer, to ensure it is kept in good condition.

Service action:

• 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.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

Monark 927 X

Fig: Brake belt

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.

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. 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.
