OPERATION INSTRUCTION
NOTE! The use of Ergometer 874E can be fysically very strenuous why it is highly
recommended to consult a doctor before use for persons not used to hard exercise
and if you not feel perfectly healthy.
Monark Ergometer model 874E is a test cycle, which have a braking system, of which workload
can be set by weights in a weight basket. Weights are in sizes 1 kg, 0,5 kg and 0,1 kg. This makes
it possible to vary the workload from 1 kg up to maximum 12 kg in steps of 0,1 kg. NOTE: 1 kg
is the lowest work load that can be set as this is the weight of the basket itself. A weight basket
that only weighs 0,5 kg is available as an option. The weight basket can also be set in its upper
free/resting position and does then not give any work load at all. The weight basket is released by
pushing the stop lever, on the left side of the bike , backwards.
The cycle is also equipped with an electronic meter showing pedal revulotions per
minute (RPM), heart rate in bpm (HR), exercise time in minutes and seconds (TIME), cycling
speed in km per hour or miles per hour (SPEED), covered distance in km or mile (DISTANCE),
burned Calories (CAL) and the power/workload on the cycle(WATT).
The watt reading is depending on the pedalling speed which means that the watt figure can be fine
tuned by means of increasing or decreasing the speed/pedal rpm.
Furthermore the workload (kp =weight weights in kg) can be set which gives a reading
of burned calories (CAL) as well as power (WATT) on the meter display. The energy is usually
expressed in kJ (kilo Joule) or cal (kilocalorier, kcal). En kcal is aprox.4,2 kJ. The power is
depending on the pedalling speed which makes it possible to adjust the workload/power by
increase or dedcrease the speed.
The height of the saddle should be adjusted so that, when sitting comfortably with the middle of
the foot is above the pedal axle and with the pedal in its lowest position. The knee should only be
slightly bent.
The adjustment of the handlebar should give a comfortable ride. When cycling for a long time, it
may be suitable some time during the exercise to change the position of the handlebar.
NOTE!
At transport the brake cord should be somewhat tightened to prevent it from
falling off the flywheel.
