LT2

Thank you for choosing a test cycle from Monark!

Ideal position is important for a performance to reach its maximum and increases the potential for a perfect performance. The new setting options, along with an upgraded workload adjustment, make Monark's renowned bike even better.

LT2 has a brand new frame that is adjustable in all directions• LT2's new frame also means the Q-factor can be reduced, which increases the opportunities for a •

better workout experience LT24 gives the conditions; the rest is up to the rider• LT2 is equipped with a newly-developed manual workload control, the workload is controlled by •

a lever located on the handlebar LT2 can be calibrated, both mechanically and electronically•

NOTE! Use of the product may involve considerable physical stress. It is therefore recommended that people who are not accustomed to cardiovascular exercise or who do not feel completely healthy, should consult a physician for advice.

Product Information

Serial number

The serial number is located on machine plate (4) according to Fig: Overview.

Initial operation

LT2 is mechanically calibrated in the factory. The user may still want to check this. For the procedure, see section ‘Calibration’.

Apply power to the test bike by ﬁrst connecting the cable from the power adaptor to the test bike at the power connector (5) at the right side of the bike, see Fig: Overview. Then plug the power adaptor into the wall outlet.

Perform the electrical calibration as speciﬁed in section ‘Calibration’. Test by pedalling the bike. If the bike is working properly, it is ready for use.

Power on crank or ywheel

Monark bikes measure the effect of the ﬂywheel, so it will be a friction of 6-8% if you measure the impact of the pedals (measure the effect of the crankshaft, the difference is 4-5 %). These percentages will be primarily due to friction in the chain, pedals and bearings.

LT2 is set to measure the workload at the ﬂywheel. The bike can be set to work with effect in the pedals / crankshaft (the cycle constant).

NOTE! Before you start using the bike - remember to remove any transport protection and protective tape on the ﬂywheel.

Calories

There have been different theories on how to calculate this since it depends on several factors and this means that it can only be seen as an estimate.

As a standard calculation when we display calories on our calibrated bikes we use: 1 minute with 100W gives 7 kcal. It is easy to convert watts to calories if it was on the ﬂywheel, the formula is 1 W=0,2388x10

-3

kcal/s with four decimals. But when you normally show calories you want to show the total amount of calories your body has used during your training, not only the calories "burnt" on the ﬂywheel.

We have chosen the formula given above that we think complies with the results given for a standard cycle position.

Monark Exercise AB recommends that you make a mechanical calibration once a year to ensure the cycle’s accuracy.

Cycle adjustments

Seat height should be adjusted to a comfortable position. The appropriate height is to have the knee slightly bent when the sole of the foot is centred over the pedal axle with the pedal in the bottom position. When adjusting the saddle height and vertical position, loosen the respectively locking handles. See Fig: Saddle adjustment.

The handlebar setting should be in a comfortable position when cycling. During longer exercise sessions it is recommended to occasionally change handlebar position. The handlebar can be adjusted both horizontally and vertically. This is done by loosening the respective locking handles. See Fig: Handlebar

adjustment.

NOTE! Be sure that the stem and seat post are inserted to at least 100 mm in the frame. This is marked with “MAX” on the stem.

The following procedure ensures that the bike works for daily use.

Check the HR function if you use chest belt, see • section, on ‘Heart rate’.

Check the braking force by putting on a certain • workload and check that the load is applied.

Test pedalling and check that a reasonable rpm is • obtained - verify by a clock. Feel if the pedals move smoothly. Listen for unusual sounds. Remedy if necessary.

Adjust the handlebar and saddle and make sure • they are securely attached and that the adjustment is working properly.

Make sure the support legs are in position by • rocking the bike. Tighten if necessary.

If something unusual is found during the daily inspection that you cannot resolve, please call customer service.
