6. Install the Weight Stack Shrouds
NOTE: It is necessary to flex the lower
shrouds (23, 24) slightly to engage the mat-
ing grooves in the weight stack frame (1).
Slide the lower front shroud (24) into the mat-
ing grooves in the weight stack frame (1). Slide
the lower rear shroud (23) into the mating
grooves in the weight stack frame.
Install one tapped hole nut (48) onto each of
the six upper shroud mounting tabs on the
weight stack frame (1).
Hold one upper shroud (25) in position against
the weight stack frame (1), and secure the
shroud to the frame using three screws (42)
and washers (52).
Repeat for the remaining upper shroud (25).
7. Final Assembly and Testing
Check all attaching parts to ensure they are
tightened securely.
Mount the unit. Engage the selector pin at a
comfortable weight.
Operate the leverage arm and check the fol-
lowing:
Verify operation of the leverage arm is
smooth, without evidence of sticking or
binding.
Verify there is no evidence of "free play"
when actuating the leverage arm from the
"stowed" position.
Verify there is no evidence of excessive
noise during operation.
Return the leverage arm to the "stowed" posi-
tion.
You have now completed assembly of your
INSTINCT CHEST PRESS.

ANCHORING

IMPORTANT: The INSTINCT CHEST PRESS 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 CHEST PRESS 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 requirements 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.

GENERAL GUIDELINES

As with any exercise program, strength training involves an element of risk. The information provided in this section will help you
24
and/or your members make safe and productive use of your STAR TRAC INSTINCT CHEST PRESS.
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 CHEST PRESS 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 CHEST PRESS, as well as those actions that should be avoided.
Your INSTINCT CHEST PRESS has been designed to accommodate a wide variety of body types. Prior to use, mount the
unit and adjust the seat height to ensure comfortable operation of the leverage arm.
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 CHEST PRESS should be performed only by authorized persons.
NEVER modify the INSTINCT CHEST PRESS 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 STAR
TRAC INSTINCT CHEST PRESS. 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.
