Care and Maintenance
The LifeCore 1050UBs 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.
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
1050UBs is only for indoor use and should not be stored in damp, extremely cold or hot areas as this
will damage the unit this voiding the warranty.
Always inspect hardware prior to any exercise session. Look for loose hardware, loose pedals, loose
cranks and frayed wires. Repair or replace any damaged or worn parts, tighten all loose hardware.
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, follows by a dry towel, or uses a light house hold cleaner such as Windex
to remove dirt. The purpose of cleaning the unit is to remove body sweat 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.
3) To clean pads, use a mild soap and warm water.
As part of LifeCore’s normal installation and set-up process, all pedal cranks must be
tightened after 8 to 10 hours of initial riding to ensure parts are properly seated to axle. This
is standard initial “break-in” service, which must be performed after the first 8 to 10 hours of
use. Un-tightened pedal cranks may become loose, causing damage, which may void the
warranty.
After the first 12 hours of use, check and retighten any bolts, nuts, screws, 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.
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.
