BRAKE BELT CONTACT SURFACE - BRAKE BELT
The brake belt should be regularly checked 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 surface may cause the unit to operate unevenly and
will also wear down the brake belt. The brake belt contact of the flywheel surface should then be gro-
und off with a fine sand paper and any dust removed with a clean dry cloth.
Dismantle cover see
”REPLACEMENT BRAKE BELT”.
Set the tension device to min load.
Loosen the brake belt somewhat at the adjustment bolt and take off the brake belt to the side. Grind
with a fine sand paper. See fig. 12.
Grinding is easier to perform if a second individual cautiously and carefull 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 is allowed to be used.
We recommend to replace the brake belt when cleaning the contact surface.
As regards assembly and adjustment of the brake belt, see previous page.
