BRAKE CORD/BELT REPLACE
-
MENT
Remove the instrument cover by loosen the
screws on each side of the cover.
Pull the weight basket return grip, see fig. 8, or
the return strap, see fig. 13 page 13, and lift up the
weight basket until it locks in its upper position.
Loosen the cord/belt bracket, see fig. 13, and take
away the brake belt from the tension center.
Loosen or cut away the knot or tie up the knot at
the other end of the belt. After that take away the
belt from the bike.
When assembling a new brake cord/belt, first
enter one end into the belt whole in the tension
center, see fig. 13, and make a knot and let the
knot fall into the bigger part of the hole.
Then assemble the new belt exactly as the old
one. See fig. 12.
NOTE! When replacing the brake cord/belt it
is recommended to clean the brake surface.
See next page
BRAKE SURFACE - BRAKE BELT.
ADJUSTING THE BRAKE CORD/BELT TENSION
At first check that the brake belt is lying correct on the flywheel brake surface.
See fig. 12 and 13.
Press button on handlebar to release the weight basket.
Put 4 kg in the weight basket. Rotate the flywheel by hand. The basket shall now lift up so the distance to the fly
-
wheel is at least 40 mm. and maximum 60 mm. If this is not the case the brake belt has to be loosened or tightened
a little at the tension center. If the basket is too low shorten the belt somewhat and if the basket is too high lengh-
ten the cord somewhat.
Lock the weight basket in its upper position and after that loosen the cord bracket somewhat so that the cord
length can be adjusted. Tighten the braket again. Release the basket and check if the measurements above are OK
when the flywheel is rotated by hand.
Repeat the above if necessary.
Note:
The basket gives the correct workload wherever it hangs between the upper stop position and the lower stop
just above the flywheel. Note that the tension center can’t get in contact with it’s upper or lower stop. In that case
you will not receive correct brake level. The measurements above (40-60) gives a good margin.
