Care and Maintenance

The LifeCORE 985VG is made from the best materials and has been tested and received a quality
control review prior to its packaging to ensure the correct parts and proper fitting of each component.
This machine was designed to limit the amount of assembly needed by a customer. The amount of
maintenance required is very little and very simple; however, a failure to implement preventative
maintenance suggestions can prevent the machine from operating as designed. The 985VG is only
for indoor use and should not be stored outside or damp, extremely cold or hot areas as this will
damage the unit voiding the warranty.
Rules:
 Never use WD-40 or any type of silicone spray to lubricate any moving parts. Use of this type of
lubricating will damage the unit's components voiding the warranty.
Use only appropriate lithium assembly grease as needed to the pivot points if noise occurs.
Contact Lifecore to find out exactly what type of grease is acceptable or to purchase
grease.
 Always clean the machine after use.
1) Proper cleaning is important for longevity of a machine, clean the unit with a light soap water
mixture, followed by a dry towel. You can also use a light house hold cleaner such as
Windex to remove dirt and sweat. The purpose of cleaning the unit is to remove body sweat
from the unit which contains salt. Salt is the number one factor that will cause the unit to rust
and the electronics to stop working.
2) Dry the unit off with a clean towel to remove left over moisture after every use.
 After the first 12 hours of use, check and retighten any bolts, nuts, screws, pedals, etc. making
sure that they are tight and working properly.
1) The number one service issue is loose hardware. Loose hardware can cause the unit to tick,
creak, thump, knock, etc. After the first 12 hours once all the hardware has been tightened,
the hardware should be checked every 3 months. (dual action handle bar, stationary handle
bar, foot pedals, stabilizers)
2) Greasing the 3 Pivot Points: Greasing the pivot points will help to maintain a smooth and
quite machine. If you wish to grease the 3 Pivot Points, use lithium grease that is friendly to
plastic (some greases can destroys plastic). Disconnect the foot pedal tube and the dual
action arms, and evenly apply a finger tip amount of grease to the moving parts and
reassemble. This service is recommended every year.
 Only use the appropriate 9V 1000mA power source, never use an adapter that is not certified for
the unit, a wrong adapter will cause the electronics to overheat and malfunction voiding the
warranty.
