BRAKE BELT CONTACT SURFACE AND BRAKE BELT
The brake belt should be regularly checked to ensure that it has not suffered execessive wear. If it looks
worn it should be replaced. Due to the stress placed on the brake belt when the emergency brake is
used the belt is more likely to break when needed in an emergency than through normal wear. Therefor
we recommend regular checks and replacement as the user sees fit.
Deposits of dirt on the brake belt and on the contact surface may cause the unit to operate unevenly and
will also wear down the brake belt. The brake belt contact of the flywheel surface should then be gro-
und off with a fine abrasive cloth and any dust removed with a clean dry cloth. See fig 8.
Take away the brake belt from the contact surface before
grinding.
Grinding is easier to perform if a second individual
cautiously pedals the cycle.
Irregularities on the brake belt contact surface are removed
by means of a fine abrasive paper or an abrasive cloth.
Otherwise unnecessary wear on the brake belt may occur and
the unit can become noisy.
Always keep the brake belt contact surface clean and dry. No
lubricant should be used.
We recommend you to replace the brake belt when cleaning the contact surface.
As regards assembly and adjustment of the brake belt, see previous page.
