MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Star Trac strongly recommends performing regular preventive maintenance on your STAR TRAC INSTINCT CHEST 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 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 belt / cable for excessive wear or other damage. Check cable / belt for proper tension (cable 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).

Check the retainer screws at the weight stack top plate and leverage arm 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 L P on page 15 for illustrations and part numbers of standard labels and placards used on STAR

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 (27) into the belt clamp. BE SURE the tapped hole in the belt retainer is aligned with the mat-
ing hole in the belt clamp.
CAUTION: BE SURE to keep the weight belt straight when installing the retaining screw (36) in the belt
retainer (27). 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 (36) through the belt clamp and into the belt retainer (27). Tighten the retaining screw to 400
inch-pounds.
Route the weight belt (28) over five pulleys (9), as illustrated.
Insert the free end of the weight belt (28) through the slot in the leverage arm belt clamp, and pull through the opposite slot
just until force is applied against the top plate (8). This will eliminate any slack in the belt and ensure proper tensioning.
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
on page 13 for
belt clamp.
Insert the belt retainer (27) into the belt clamp. BE SURE the tapped hole in the belt retainer is aligned with the mat-
ing hole in the belt clamp.
Thread the retaining screw (36) through the belt clamp and into the belt retainer (27). 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 (9). Deflection of the weight belt should be less than 25 mm. Loosen the retaining screw (36) and adjust belt tension
as needed.
5. Install the Seatrest and Backrest
Cushions
Hold the backrest cushion (22) in place on the
main frame (2). Secure the backrest cushion to
the main frame with two screws (40), one
screw (38), and three washers (51). Tighten the
screws securely.
Hold the seatrest cushion (21) in place on the
seat post (6) (factory-installed). Secure the
seatrest cushion to the main frame with two
screws (40) and two washers (51). Tighten the
screws securely.
