MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
F RAMEWORK M AINTENANCE
CAUTION: DO NOT use lacquer thinner, acetone, or other solvents to clean powder-coated finishes on the framework
or other structural components. Solvents will dull the finish, and contain components that may remove the epoxy-
based powder from the frame.
Framework and other structural components should be wiped down on a daily basis using a moistened with water. This will
increase the longevity of protective powder-coat finishes. The framework should be inspected while cleaning for evidence of fatigue
cracks, scratches or chips in the finish, loose hardware, and other areas that may require attention.
Apply easy-application car wax to all powder-coated surfaces quarterly. Regular waxing will aid in preventing premature rusting
due to corrosives found in perspiration, and will allow loose particles to be removed more easily when performing the daily wipe-
down.
Procedures to repair scratches and chips depend on the severity of the damage:
■Surface scratches can generally be repaired by polishing with an automotive rubbing compound.
■Deep scratches and chips must be repaired by filling the damaged area using a “touch-up” bottle of color-matched paint
(available through the STAR TRAC Parts Department). Fill the damaged area sparingly, using two or more coats. Allow
the area to dry thoroughly between coats. Once the touch-up is complete, it can be left “as is”, or it can be blended and color-
sanded to the surrounding surface.
NOTE: The process of blending and sanding repaired areas to the surrounding surface is difficult. It should be attempted ONLY
by persons knowledgeable in this area.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Star Trac strongly recommends performing regular preventive maintenance on your STAR TRAC INSTINCT WEIGHT RACKS.
Without regularly scheduled maintenance, normal wear and tear may cause cumulative effects, such as misalignment or prema-
ture wear, resulting in downtime. For this reason, we highly recommend following the maintenance schedules. Additionally, unusu-
al symptoms, such as excessive noise during use, stiffness or free play in moving parts, etc., should be investigated and necessary
corrective actions (adjustment or parts replacement) should be performed. If any components are found to be worn or damaged,
the unit should be removed from service until repairs can be made. Only components supplied or approved by Star Trac shall be
used to maintain and/or repair the unit.

UNDERSTANDING EACH AND EVERY WARNING TO THE FULLEST IS IMPORTANT. IF ANY OF THESE WARN-
INGS ARE UNCLEAR, CONTACT STAR TRAC PRODUCT SUPPORT FOR CLARIFICATION.
S AFETY I NSTRUCTIONS
1. Do not use any equipment in any way other than
designed or intended by the manufacturer. It is impera-
tive that weight stack machines as well as any other
STAR TRAC INSTINCT equipment is used properly to
avoid injury.
2. Make sure there is enough room for safe access and oper-
ation of the INSTINCT WEIGHT RACKS.
3. Keep hands, feet, head, limbs, fingers and hair clear at all
times from moving parts to avoid injury. Use appropriate
positioning, speed and controlled movements.
4. DO NOT use any equipment that is damaged and or has
worn or broken parts. Use only replacement parts sup-
plied by STAR TRAC.
5. DO NOT wear loose or dangling clothing while using the
INSTINCT WEIGHT RACKS. Keep away from all
moving parts.
6. Obtain a medical examination prior to beginning an exer-
cise program.
7. If at any time during exercise you feel faint, dizzy or
experience pain, STOP IMMEDIATELY and consult your
physician before continuing.
8. Children must NOT be allowed to operate the
INSTINCT WEIGHT RACKS. Adolescents must be
supervised when using the INSTINCT WEIGHT
RACKS.
9. DO NOT attempt to fix a broken or jammed unit. Notify
authorized personnel.
10. Use the INSTINCT WEIGHT RACKS only for the
intended use. Obtain instruction on proper use of the
unit. It is the purchaser's sole responsibility to properly
instruct end users and supervising personnel as to the
proper operating procedures of all STAR TRAC
INSTINCT equipment. DO NOT modify the unit.
11. Load plates evenly and carefully to avoid tipping equip-
ment and possible crushing injuries.
12. DO NOT use the INSTINCT WEIGHT RACKS if
guards or shrouds are missing or damaged.
13. USE A SPOTTER.
14. DO NOT add incremental weights, except those provided
by STAR TRAC.
15. MAINTAIN PLACARDS AND LABELS: Do not remove
labels for any reason; they contain important informa-
tion. If illegible or missing, contact the STAR TRAC
Parts Department for replacement.
16. SECURING EQUIPMENT: The INSTINCT WEIGHT
RACKS MUST be secured to the floor to stabilize and
eliminate rocking or tipping over. This must be per-
formed by a licensed contractor. DO NOT use the UNIT
if it is not set up and located on a solid level surface.
17. Make sure that each machine is set up and operated on a
solid level surface. DO NOT install equipment on an
uneven surface.
18. MAINTAIN ALL EQUIPMENT: Preventative mainte-
nance is the key to ensuring smooth and reliable opera-
tion of the INSTINCT WEIGHT RACKS, as well as
keeping your liability to a minimum. Inspect the unit
prior to use. Give particular attention to the areas most
susceptible to wear. DO NOT use if the unit is damaged
or inoperable.
19. Ensure that adjustment, maintenance and/or repair of
the INSTINCT WEIGHT RACKS is performed by
qualified personnel ONLY. Immediately replace worn or
damaged components. If unable to immediately replace
worn or damaged components then remove the
INSTINCT WEIGHT RACKS from service until
repairs are made.
20. Keep a repair log of all maintenance activities.
21. Routinely inspect all accessory clips that join attach-
ments to weight belts or cables, and replace at the first
sign of wear.
22 Use only weight selector pins supplied by STAR TRAC
on weight stacks. Substitutes are forbidden.
23. Cables and belts pose an extreme liability if used when
frayed. Always replace any cable or belt at first sign of
wear (consult STAR TRAC Product Support if uncertain).
24. Fully insert the weight selector pin when selecting the
desired weight. Partially inserted pins can cause weights
to fall unexpectedly. NEVER remove the weight selector
pin if any weights are suspended. NEVER attempt to
release jammed weights or parts.
25. DO NOT use Lat Pulldown Bars on Multi-jungle
Crossover cable systems or any other pulley systems.
These bars are designed for lat pulldown machines
ONLY. If improperly used, the Lat Bar could fall unex-
pectedly, striking the user when weight selector pin is
removed.
26. Lat Pulldown Machines pose a danger if used with worn
or damaged cables and connecting links. The user can be
struck in the head if the cable or related parts break dur-
ing use.
27. When adjusting any seat, knee hold down pad, range of
motion limiter, foothold pad or any other type of adjuster,
make certain that the adjusting pin is fully engaged in
the retainer hole to avoid injury.
NOTE: It is the sole responsibility of the user/owner or facility
operator to ensure that regular maintenance is performed.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
As with any exercise program, strength training involves an element of risk. The information provided in this section will help you
and/or your members make safe and productive use of your STAR TRAC INSTINCT WEIGHT RACKS.
■ALWAYS consult a physician before beginning any strength-training program. This is particularly important for persons
with known health conditions and/or persons that are not familiar with the risks involved with weight training.
■All training sessions should be supervised by trained personnel.
■BE SURE that all warning labels and placards affixed to the INSTINCT WEIGHT RACKS remain on the unit. DO NOT
alter warning labels and placards. BE SURE that each user reads and understands the information shown on all labels and
placards (safety, instructional and/or other).
■Instruct all users on the proper use of the INSTINCT WEIGHT RACKS, as well as those actions that should be avoided.
To minimize user and/or bystander injury:
■Do not lean the against framework, weight stack or any component, regardless of whether it is dynamic or static.
■Stay clear of all components while in a dynamic state of motion. Keep hands and feet away from cables, belts, cams and
pulleys and/or any converging action. The convergence of these transmission-based components can cause serious injury.
■Exercising on free weight and selectorized products should be performed with the assistance of a spotter.
PRODUCT USE AND MAINTENANCE
Repair of the INSTINCT WEIGHT RACKS should be performed only by authorized persons.
NEVER modify the INSTINCT WEIGHT RACKS or attempt to make adjustment(s) to, or the repair of, the unit equipment with-
out first calling STAR TRAC Product Support. Always notify authorized personnel to make such repairs.
Instruct all users to report any equipment or training irregularities to supervisory personnel IMMEDIATELY.

ASSEMBLY
Install one frame pad (4) onto each foot of the
plate tree frame (1). Be sure the frame pads
are properly seated on the frame, and the
retaining lips on the end of each pad engage
the foot to secure.
Install three weight support tubes (2) onto
each leg of the plate tree frame (1). Secure
each support tube to the frame using one
screw (6) and washer (7). Tighten the screws
securely.
Press one end cap (3) into the end of each
weight support tubes (2). If needed, use a rub-
ber mallet to tap the caps into place.
Install one rubber grommet (5) onto each
weight support tube (2), and slide back on the
tube until the grommet contacts the plate tree
frame (1).
You have now completed assembly of your
INSTINCT SINGLE FRAME PLATE TREE.
ANCHORING
IMPORTANT: The INSTINCT SINGLE FRAME PLATE TREE must be secured to the
floor to stabilize and eliminate rocking or tipping over. This must be performed by a
licensed contractor. Failure to anchor the unit will void the warranty. STAR TRAC
shall not be liable for damage or injury caused by unanchored or improperly
anchored units.
The INSTINCT SINGLE FRAME PLATE TREE must be anchored to the floor using through bolts or anchoring studs. Each
foot pad on the unit provides two anchoring holes that will accommodate bolts of up to 12mm (7/16") diameter. Only one hole in
each foot pad is required during anchoring. The holes used for anchoring may be selected based on installation site require-
ments or customer preference.
Anchoring bolts/studs must meet the following requirements:
■Anchor bolts shall be Grade 8.8 or Grade SAE 5.
■Anchoring bolts or studs shall have a minimum size of 6mm (1/4") diameter; 8mm (5/16") diameter bolts/studs are recom-
mended.
■Pull-out force shall be 100kg (2201 lbs) minimum for any single anchor. This will ensure a secure anchoring system and
safe operation of the unit by all users.
