Care and Maintenance

 

 

 

The LifeCORE VST-V8 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 VST-V8 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: 
 

¾

 

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.  
 

¾

  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. 

 
 

¾

  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. 

 

 

¾

  Only use the appropriate 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. 

 
 
In the unlikely event that the VST-V8 experiences a problem, please contact LifeCORE fitness for
