Maintenance Schedule - Star Trac instinct Owner's Manual

PRODUCT USE AND MAINTENANCE
Repair of the INSTINCT VERTICAL ROW should be performed only by authorized persons.
NEVER modify the INSTINCT VERTICAL ROW 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.
CAUTION: Do not "high pin" and/or "double pin" a weight stack. This action is con-
sidered to be dangerous to users, and bystanders, and may damage your INSTINCT
VERTICAL ROW. Aside from the mechanical damage that may result, such
action(s), in part, may cause the weight stack to crush or pinch fingers, hands
and/or extremities. DO NOT use the unit if the top plate is elevated and/or pinned
in a raised position. Seek assistance from authorized personnel to correct such a
condition.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Star Trac strongly recommends performing regular preventive maintenance on your STAR TRAC INSTINCT VERTICAL ROW.
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.

AILY AINTENANCE
Wipe down and inspect the framework and other structural components (see F
requirements). Check all attaching hardware for security. Tighten as needed.
Clean and inspect the upholstered cushions and the hand grips (see U
ments).
Clean and lubricate guide rods using a cotton cloth and break-free lubricant. Apply the lubricant to the cloth, then wipe up
and down the guide rods as needed.
Inspect weight belt for excessive wear or other damage. Check weight belt for proper tension (weight belt deflection at any point
should not exceed 25 mm); adjust as needed. (See W
Check the leverage arm bearings for evidence of sticking or binding; lubricate as needed (bearings are equipped with fit-
tings to facilitate lubrication).

EEKLY AINTENANCE
Check the retainer screws at the weight stack top plate and main frame for security (retainer screws should be torqued to
400 inch-pounds). Tighten as needed.
Check all labels and placards affixed to the unit for legibility and security. Replace illegible labels and placards as needed
(see LABELS AND PLACARDS on page 15 for illustrations and part numbers of standard labels and placards used on

5. Install the Weight Belt
NOTE: The weight belt (13) is attached to the
top plate (15) and main frame (2) using cinch
fasteners (see detail below). Two people may be
required to properly install and tension the
weight belt.
Remove the retaining screws (41) and belt
retainers (18) from the belt clamps on the
weight stack top plate (15) and main frame (2).
Insert one end of the weight belt (13) through
the slot in the top plate belt clamp until
approximately one inch of the free end of the
belt protrudes from the slot in the opposite
side of the clamp.
While holding the free end of the belt, press down on the opposite side of the belt so it lays flat against the inside of the
clamp.
Insert the belt retainer (18) into the belt clamp. BE SURE the tapped hole in the belt retainer is aligned with the mating
hole in the belt clamp.
CAUTION: BE SURE to keep the weight belt straight when installing the retaining screw (41) in the belt
retainer (18). Misalignment of the weight belt may bias the top plate, which can cause excessive contact of
the top plate shaft with the weights, resulting in excessive noise during use, and potential hazards to the
user or other bystanders.
Thread the retaining screw (41) through the belt clamp and into the belt retainer (18). Tighten the retaining screw to 400
on page 13 for
inch-pounds.
Route the weight belt (13) over six pulleys, as illustrated.
Insert the free end of the weight belt (13) through the slot in the main frame belt clamp, and pull through the opposite
slot just until force is applied against the top plate (15). This will eliminate any slack in the belt and ensure proper ten-
sioning.
While maintaining tension on the weight belt, press down on the free end of the belt so it lays flat against the inside of
the belt clamp.
Insert the belt retainer (18) into the belt clamp. BE SURE the tapped hole in the belt retainer is aligned with the mating
hole in the belt clamp.
Thread the retaining screw (41) through the belt clamp and into the belt retainer (18). Tighten the retaining screw to 400
inch-pounds.
Check for proper tensioning of the weight belt by applying lateral pressure to the belt at a point midway between two pul-
leys. Deflection of the weight belt should be less than 25 mm. Loosen the retaining screw (41) and adjust belt tension as
needed.
