The brake cord 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 cord and irregularities on the
brake surface may cause the unit to operate unevenly and
will also wear down the brake cord faster and the unit can
become noisy. The brake surface of the flywheel should
then be ground off with a fine sand paper and any dust
removed with a clean dry cloth.
Pull up the weight basket to its upper locked position.
Grind with a fine sand paper. See fig. 14.
Grinding is easier to perform if a second individual cau-
tiously and slowly pedals the cycle.
NOTE: A
lways keep the brake belt contact surface clean
and dry. No lubricant is allowed to be used.
We recommend to replace the brake cord/belt when cleaning
the contact surface.
As regards assembly and adjustment of the brake cord, see
previous page.
