OPERATIONS INSTRUCTIONS
The Monark exercise cycle model 736 is provided with a brake system which can easily and quickly be
adjusted. The same lever is also the emergency brake.
When pedalling the user generates enormous kinetic energy to the flywheel. The kinetic energy is reduced
by means of a brake belt, which runs around the bigger part of the brake surface of the flywheel. The
reststance is adjusted by increasing or decreasing the tension of the brake belt against the flywheel.
DUE TO THE FORCES BUILT UP IN THE BIKE IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE USER IS
AWARE OF THE CORRECT OPERATION OF THE BRAKE, AND IS SAFELY SECURED INTO
THE PEDALS BEFORE USING THE BIKE.
The height of the saddle is adjusted so that, when you sit comfortably with your foot exactly above the
pedal axle and with the pedal in its down position, your knee is only slightly bent.
The adjustment of the handlebar should give a comfortable ride. Adjust the height accordingly.
