Monark 828 Bike
NOTE: Monark Bikes are carefully calibrated at the
factory. The need for the end user to calibrate the bike is
RARE!
Once the bike is assembled, there are 2 adjustments that need to be made to
insure accuracy of a sub-max bike ergometer assessment.
1. Zero Adjustment of the Pendulum Scale
2. Calibration of Pendulum Scale
Tension
Device
Zero Adjustment of the Pendulum Scale
1. Remove the transport tape from the
pendulum. Loosen the tension device
so the brake belt feels loose. Check
that the pendulum is hanging in a
vertical position. The notch on the
pendulum weight should now be
aligned with the “0” on the Pendulum
Scale.

2.
If the pendulum notch does not line up
with the “0” on the Pendulum Scale,
loosen the lock nut and change the
position of the Pendulum Scale so that
it lines up with the notch on the
pendulum weight. Tighten the lock
nut after the adjustment.
3.
When adjusting the resistance during a
bike test, always use the side scale and
not the one on top of the unit next to
the electronic speedometer.
