Calibration
6
Calibration is done at the factory. If you for some
reason want to check the calibration, do as fol-
lows:
Tighten the brake belt through turning the control
knob so that pointer goes up to about 25-50 Watt
at rotation of the crank.
Put the Rehab Trainer at the edge of a table as
shown in fig 5.
Loosen the screws for the clamping plate, so that
the end of the belt is loose. See fig 5.
Fasten a 2 kg weight (our # 9000-212) to the
brake belt . See fig 5. This weight should now be
read on the scale at 2 kp. See fig 6.
Should there be a deviation between the position
of the pointer and the 2 kp marked on the scale,
adjust the loading spring by turning the adjusting
screw until the correct position is obtained. See
fig 5 and 6. Turn clockwise if the pointer is pla-
ced too high and turn counter colockwise if the
pointer is placed too low.
Remove the weight and fasten the brake belt
with the screw for the clamping plate so that the
pointer does not go below the zero (“0”) marked
on the scale.
The height level of the cranks is adjustable when
loosen the nuts according to fig 6. Set the crank
arms at the desired position and fasten with the
nuts.
If the cranks are not in line, adjust these. First set
the left hand crank straight upwards. Then loosen
the right hand crank by undoing the crank arm
screw. See fig 7. Adjust the position of the right
hand crank so it is in line with left hand crank
and tighten the screw.

Operating instructions
7
Monark Rehab Trainer model 881E is an arm
and leg ergometer provided with a brake belt.
The power can be read in Watts at 50 pedal
rpm moreover, the work can be read in kilo-
pondmeters (kpm). The Rehab Trainer is also
equipped wih an electronic meter, showing
pedal revolutions per minute (RPM), the total
pedal revolutions (TOTAL COUNT) and time
(TIME) function.
When cycling the test person put supplies the
flywheel into kinetic energy. This is braked
by means of a brake belt wich runs around the
bigger part of the brake surface of the fly-
wheel.
The workload 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 work load control
knob.

SERVICE ROUTINE
Check the:
pedal crank is secure to the crank axle
pedals are moving smoothly, and pedal axle are clear of dirt and fibres
pedals are securely fitted to the pedal crank
flywheel rotating smoothly
brake belt does not show significant signs of wear
handles/pedals and chain are lubricated
LUBRICATION OF THE FREEWHEELING SPROCKET
The sprocket should be lubricated with a few drops of oil once a year. Tilt the device somewhat to make it easier for the oil
to reach the bearing.
Chain 1/2” x 1/8”
It´s strongly recommended that a chain solvent is used to keep the chain clean. Much dirt built 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 of 5 mm. When the play in the chain is about 20 mm (< 1inch) the chain must be tightened otherwise it will
cause unnormal wear of the chain and chainwheels. When the chain has become so long that it can no longer be adjusted, it
is worn out and shall be reolaced with a new one.
CRANK BEARING
The crank bearing is long term greased and needs normally no supplementary lubrication. If problem arises, please contact
your Monark dealer.
FLYWHEEL BEARING
The bearings in the flywheel are lifetime greased and require normally no maintenance. If problem arises, please contact
your Monark dealer.

THE IMPORTANCE OF REGULAR EXERCISE
The human body is built for action – not for rest. Once upon a time this was a necessity: the struggle for survival
demanded good physical condition. But optimal function can only be achieved by regularly exposing the heart,
circulation, muscles, tendons, skeleton and nervous system to some loading, i.e. training.
In the old days the body got its exercise both in work and at leisure. In our modern society, however, machines
have taken over an ever increasing share of the tasks which were formerly accomplished with muscular power
alone. Our life has at an accelerated tempo been dominated by sitting, riding and lying. Thus, the natural and
vital stimulation that tissues and internal organs receive through physical exercise has largely disappeared.
Certain tissues such as muscles, bone and blood and also a number of bodily functions can adapt to inactivity –
and to stress. Studies have proved that if you use 30 minutes for exercise like brisk walking, running, bicycling,
swimming or skiing 2-3 times a week, your condition has been improved by some 15 per cent after a few
months. The efficiency of the heart muscle will increase and joints and muscles grow in strength. The capillary
density increases in the trained muscle and their enzymatic activities are enhanced. The body adapts to the new
demands. The perceived exertion at a given rate of exercise becomes reduced.
With increased physical activity fatness is concentrated, the appetite functions “safer”, you can eat more without
risk for overweight and thereby the risk of lack of important essential food nutrients decreases. For many
individuals the effect of habitual physical activity also improves the wellbeing and it is a good feeling to have a
potential to cope with straining situations.
IN A FEW MONTHS YOU CAN GET 10-15 YEARS YOUNGER
If you cycle 30 minutes afew times a week you can lower your condition age with 10-15 years! Scientifically
this is described as a reduction on the biological age. Externally, you are your usual self. Internally, however,
you feel much younger. In other words: You can work harder. You feel more alert and healthy. Your ability to
handle stress and problems increases. There are few better ways to improve your physical condition than to
cycle. It does not over-tax your joints. It builds up your condition progressively and at your own pace – and
you can make your training fit weather conditions.
DO I LOOSE WEIGHT WHEN I CYCLING?
Yes! You do lose calories. A few miles on your bike every day over one year, you will have lost the equivalent
of 20 pounds of body fat. You will achieve best results if you combine exercise with healthier eating. A little
less sugar, less butter on your bread or less fat in your frying pan. And a few miles on your bike every day. In a
year you will have lost 20 pounds.
What kind of exercise to choose?
1. You should have fun when exercising. Choose something you find pleasure in doing regularly.
2. To get o good effect out of the training you should choose a form of exercise that engages large muscle
groups. Then the demand of increased blood flow and oxygen transport will be so great that heart will
increase its pump capacity. Jogging, calesthenics, aerobic dancing, bicycling, swimming, skiing and
walking are excellent examples of exercises meeting this requirement.

Comparison of arm work to leg work
When comparing arm ergometry or exercise to leg ergometry, there are several physiologic considerations. The
maxium work that a muscle is able to perform is related to its size. Obviously, the muscle mass of the arms is co-
siderably smaller than the legs and therefore the maximum work and maximum oxygen consumption of the legs
will be greater. Hersfeld and others added that the machanical differences in the shoulder and hip joints increase
metabolic demands when arm work is performed. (1)
Raybrouck and others found that at workloads below the “anaerobic threshold”, when adequate oxygen is supp-
lied too meet all the muscle´s requirments, the oxygen consumption from arm work matches closely the oxygen
consumption during equivalent leg work. (2) They noted that heart rate and ventilation were higher during arm
work at the same oxygen consumption in leg ergometry.
In rehabilitation or evaluation of disability, the expected sustained work capability of an invidual is approxima-
tely 40 % of maximum work and below the anaerobic threshold. (3) To use the equivalent work tables wich
hav been published (4), devide the VO2 at the subject´s workload by patient´s weight in kilograms. Divide this
VO2ml/kg by 3.5. This will give the equivalent METs and then evaluate the tasks of wich they are capable of
performing at that MET level.
DO I GET STRONGER?
Cycling strengthens the muscles of the back, abdomen and legs. Daily chores become easier. Cycling also makes
your heart stronger. Your pulse rate gets lower even when you exert yourself a little extra. Regular exercise also
has a favourable influence on high blood pressures.
HOW DO I TRAIN?
1. Warm up 3-5 minutes with a low pedal resistance. Pedal about 12 mph (20 km/h).
2. Increase the resistance until you feel the training “somewhat hard”. Keep the speed for 2-5 minutes. Get
off the Ergometer and rest a few minutes. Cycle again and then rest. Train at your own pace and with a
comfortable pedal resistance. After a few weeks you can increase the resistance.
3. Before ending, pedal a few minutes with a light resistance, in order to step down your training.
Total time about 30 minutes.
Strength training:
1. Give yourself a thorough warm-up.
2. Pedal with a heavy resistance for 5-10 seconds, then rest 45-60 seconds. Repeat this 5-10 times.
It is a good idea to combine your cycle training with gymnastics for 5 minutes, as this will give you a
physiologically well-balanced form of training.
(Elderly people and physically weak persons should consult a doctor before starting their training.)

Kalibrering är gjord på fabrik. Vill man av någon anled-
ning kontrollera kalibreringen, gör men enligt följande:
Spänn upp bromsremmen genom att vrida åt belastnings-
ratten, så att vid rotation av veven visaren går upp till
mellan 25 och 50 Watt.
Placera Rehab-Trainer vid kanten av ett bord enl. fig. 5
Lossa skruvarna för klämplattan, så att bromsremmen sit-
ter löst. Se fig. 5
Fäst en vikt på 2 kg (vårt art.nr. 9000-212) i bromsrem-
men enl. fig. 5. Denna vikt skall nu kunna avläsas på
skalan vid 2 kp. Se fig. 6.
Stämmer inte visarens läge med skalans 2 kp markering,
justera belastningsfjädern genom att vrida justerskruven
för belastningsfjädern till detta stämmer. Se fig. 5 och 6.
Vrid medurs om visaren står för högt och moturs om visa-
ren står för lågt.
Tag bort vikten och fäst bromsrem med skruv och kläm-
platta i ett läge där visarn inte kan gå längre ner än till 0
på skalan.
Vevarnas höjdläge är justerbart, när muttrarna enligt fig. 7
lossas. Ställ in vevarmarnas gradtal som önskas och drag
fast med muttrarna.
Om vevarna inte ligger i linje måste dessa justeras. Ställ
först in vänster vev rakt uppåt. Lossa därefter höger vev
genom att lossa skruven enligt fig. 7. Justera högervevens
läge, så att den ligger i linje med vänster vev och drag fast
skruven.

Funktionsbeskrivning
Fig 10.
Monark Rehab Trainer, modell 881E, är en
arm- och benergometer försedd med broms,
vars effekt kan avläsas i Watt vid 50 pedal-
varv per minut. Dessutom kan arbetet avlä-
sas i kilopondmeter (kpm). Rehab Trainern
är också utrustad med en elektronisk mätare
som visar pedalvarvtal per minut, pedal-
varvtal totalt samt en tidsfunktion.
Genom cykling tillför testpersonen broms-
hjulet en viss rörelseenergi som bromsas ut
med ett bromsband som löper runt större
delen av bromshjulets bromsbana.
Ändringar av bromseffekten sker antingen
genom annan tramphastighet eller att med
belastningsratten öka eller minska broms-
bandets spänning mot bromshjulet.

SERVICE
Kontrollera:
att kedjan går jämnt och att det inte finns något glapp i vevlagringen
att vevarmarna sitter ordentligt fast på vevaxeln
att vevarna roterar mjukt och att pedalaxeln är ren från diverse smuts
att pedalaxlarna sitter ordentligt fast i vevarmarna
att bromshjulet roterar jämnt
att bromsbandet inte visar på förslitningsskador
att vevar och kedja är smorda
SMÖRJNING FRIGÅNGSKRANS
Frigångskransen smörjs med olja någon gång per år. Luta cykeln något så att
oljan lättare rinner in i lagringen.
Kedja 1/2” x 1/8”
Kontrollera med jämna mellanrum att kedjan är lagom smord.
I annat fall orsakas onormal förslitning både på kedja och kedjehjul.
BROMSHJULSLAGRING
Lagren i bromshjulet är livstidssmorda och fordrar normalt inga åtgärder.
Om fel i lagren misstänks eller konstateras, vänd Er till fackman för byte.
VEVLAGER
Vevaxellagringen är av typ kasettlager och fordrar normalt inga åtgärder.
Om fel i lagringen konstateras eller misstänks, vänd Er till fackman för byte.
Bromsband
Smutsbeläggning på bromsbandet och bromshjulets bromsbana kan ge ryck i belastningsanordningen.
Bromshjulets bromsbana bör då slipas med fin slipduk och sedan torkas av med en trasa eller dylikt.
Ojämnheter i bromsbanan tas också bort med ett fint slippapper eller slipduk.
I annat fall slits bandet onödigt hårt, samtidigt som oljud uppstår.
Byt gärna bromsband i samband med rengöring av bromsbanan.
Håll alltid bromsbanan torr och ren. Något smörjmedel får absolut inte användas.
Bromsbandet bör regelbundet kontrolleras med avseende på slitage.
Om det ser slitet ut bör det bytas ut.
