MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Star Trac strongly recommends performing regular preventive maintenance on your STAR TRAC INSTINCT GLUTE PRESS.
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.

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 weight and foot pedal 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 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.

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

RAMEWORK 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, worn or damaged weight belt / cable, 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.
