It is important that you keep your exercise device clean and properly lubricated. Most important is to
protect the chromed and zinced parts, but also painted parts benet from the same protection.
When cleaning and lubricating, be sure to check that all screws and nuts are proerly tightened. Be sure
that all moving parts as crank and ywheel is working normal and that no unnormal play or sound ex-
cists. I.e. play in bearings causes fast waring and with that follows a highly reduced lifetime.
PLEASE NOTE: The production number of you exercise device is placed according to g 3, page 4.
GENERAL
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

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE!
When using the Cardio Rehab 891E severe fysical tension can occur.
Therefore is it recomendable that persons, who are not used to tness training or
don’t feel well, contacts a doctor/physician for consultations.
Monark Exercise Ergometer device Model 891E is a test device, applied with a braking system, where the
brake force can be adjusted with weights on a weight carrier.
Weights are avalible ni 0,1 kg, 0,5 kg and 1,0 kg.
Note: 0,1 kg is the minimum weight, which is the weight of the weight carrier. The weight carrier can
also be placed in an upper level and then will no braking force be applied. Disengage by pushing the
knob. See g below.
When pedaling the subject stores energy in the ywheel. This is braked by means of a brake belt wich
runs around the bigger part of the brake of the ywheel. The workload is changed either by using other
pedaling speed or increasing or decreasing the tension of the brake belt against the ywheel by means of
the workload tension device.
NOTE!
At transport the tension device should be somwhat tightened to prevent the brake
belt from falling off the ywheel.

Setting KM or MILE
Km and km/h is the dafault setting from the factory.
If you want to make a setting in mile take the meter out of the panel.
Turn off the meter by taking out one battery.
On the back side is a switch with two settings - 1 and ON. See g. 9.
1 is equal to km and km/h and is the default setting.
ON is equal to mile and mph. Choose position and install the battery again.
Put the meter back again into the panel.
FUNCTION
Press any button or move the pedal to turn on the meter.
At the display for heart rate (HR) a ♥ is lit which means that the meter is trying to nd a pulse signal from
an external source (chestbelt with electrodes, our part.no 9339-91).
If the meter can not nd such a signal this HR function is automatically turned of after 30 seconds. When the
function is turned off the ♥ symbol is not lit any more.
The heart rate function can be turned on again by preessing a button.
Timer starts automatically when pedals are moved. Meter values for Time, Distance and Calories can be set
to zero by pressing the RESET button for more than 2 seconds.
To get correct raedings for calories and watts the kp value on the electronic meter has to be set to the same
value as the workload that is the weight of the basket including the weights in it.
Example: The workload is 3 kg (weight basket 1 kg + 2 x 1kg weight). Press the kp button to the left on the
meter. The lower display window is now ashing and showing gures in kp. Increase or decrease in steps of
0.1 kp by pressing the kp button() or the RESET button() until the reading is corresponding with the ac-
tual or desired kp values (workload) from the weight basket. After that press the CAL/WATT button to either
show the CAL or WATT gures.
The watt reading in the display is depending on the pedalling speed. The watts can accordingly be adjusted
by increasing or decreasing the pedalling speed.
Calories are calculated all the time.
Do not expose the tness computer to direct sunlight or extremely high temperature. Do not use any dissol-
vents when cleaning. Use only dry cloth.

Replacement of batteries
Pull the connector out of the housing and
take the lid panel of.
The batteries, 2 x 1,5 V, size AA (R6), which
are placed in a holder on the backsize of the
panel, can easily be changed.
Replacement of brake belt/cord
Removed the front cover over the weight carrier by
losen the screws on each side of the cover.
Take the return strap, see g. 8, 9, and lift up the
weight basket until it locks in its upper postion.
Loosen the cord/belt bracket, see g. 9, and take
away the brake from the tension hub.
Loosen or cut away the knot or tie up the knot at
the other end of the belt. After that take the belt
from the device.
When assembling a new brake cord/belt, rst enter
one end into the hole in the tension hub, see g. 7,
and tie a knot and let the knot fall into the bigger
part of the hole.
Then assemble the new belt exactly as the old one.
NOTE: When replacing the brake cord/belt it is
recommended to clean the brake surface.
See BRAKE SURFACE - BRAKE BELT.
Adjusting the brake cord/belt tension
At rst check that the brake belt is lying correct on the ywheel surface.
Put 1 kg in the weightt basket. Rotate the ywheel by hand. the basket shall now lift up so the distance
to the ywheel is at least 40 mm, and maximum 80 mm. If this is the case, the brake belt has to be
loosened or tightened a little at the tension center hub. If the basket i too low shorten the belt somewhat
and if the basket is too high leghten the cord somewhat.
Lock the weight basket in its upper postion and after that loosen the cord bracket somewhat so that the
cord length can be adjusted. Tighten the bracket again, release and check if the measurment above ar
OK when the ywheel is rotated by hand.
Repeat the above if necessary.
NOTE: The basket will always give the correct workload wherever it hangs between the upper stop posi-
tion and the lower stop just above the ywheel. The measurments above just gives a good margin - in
each direction

Brake belt contact surface - brake belt
BRAKEBELT CONTACT SURFACE
The brake belt should be checked now and then to ensure that it has not suffered execessive wear.
If it looks worn it should be replaced.
Deposits of dirt on the brake belt and on the contact suface may cause the unit to operate unevenly and
will also wear out the brake belt. The brake belt contact of the ywheel surface should then be ground of
with a ne sandpaper and any dust removed with a clean dry cloth.
Dismantle cover, see ”Replacement brake belt”.
Set the weight basket in its upper position.
Take off the brake belt to the side.
Grind with a ne sandpaper. see g. 10.
Grinding is easier to preformif a second individual cautiosly and carefull pedals the device.
Irregulaties on the brake belt contact surface are removed by means of a ne sandpaper or an abrasive
cloth. Otherwise unnecessary wear on the brake occur and the unit can become noisy.
Always keep the brake belt contact surface clean and dry. No lubricant is allowed to be used.

Chain 1/2” x 1/8”
It is strongly recommended that a chain solvent be used to keep the chain clean. Excess dirt
built up on the chain will cause excess wear. A chain lubricant and solvent for normal road bikes
may be uaed.
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. See g 11. When the play in the chain
is about 20 mm (<1 inch) the chain must be tightened otherwise it will cause unnormal wear
of the chin and chainwheels. Because of this it is always recommende to keep the chain play as
little as possible. 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.
ADJUSTING CHAIN
Remove left and right frame cover.
To adjust the chain the hub nuts should be loosened. Loosening or tightening the nuts on the
chain adjusters will then move the hub and axle forward or backward. Adjust according to abo-
ve recommendation. Then tighten the nuts on the hub axle again. See g 13.
CHAIN REPLACEMENT
Loosen the chain adjusteras much as possible. Dismantle the cahinlock and remove the chain.
Put on a new chain and assemble the chain lock.The spring of the chain lock should be assemb-
led with the closed end in the movement direction of the chain. Use a pair of tongs for dismant-
ling and assembling the spring. See g 12.
Adjust chain adjusters to chainplay according to above. Tighten axle nuts rmly.
Put on frame covers again.
NOTE: At assembly the ywheel has to be parallell with the center line of the frame
Otherwise the chain and chainwheels makes a lot of noise and wears out
very rapidly.

Service and maintenance
REPLACEMENT OF THE FREEWHEELING SPROCKET
Remove left and right frame cover. See ”REPLACEMENT OF BRAKE BELT”.
Dismantle the chain as described on page 9.
Loosen the axle nuts and lift off the ywheel. Remove the axle nut, washer, chain adjuster and
spacer on the freewheel side. Place the special remover (part No. 9100-14) in the adapter and
place the spacer and axle nut outside. See g 14.
NOTE: Do not tighten the axle nut completely. It must be possible to loosen the adapter-
sprocket half a turn.
Replace sprocket-adapter and assemble the new parts in reverse order according to the above.
LUBRICATION SPROCKET
The sprocket should be lubricated with a few drops of oil once a year. Incline the cycle so-
mewhat to make it easier for the oil to reach the bearing. See g 15.
