MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
Verify that all parts listed above are included in your shipment.
FRAMEWORK MAINTENANCE
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.
Take time now to enter your INSTINCT INNER THIGH / OUTER THIGH serial number in the space below. If parts are miss-
ing, or if you have any operational questions, please call Star Trac’s Service department at (800) 503-1221; have your serial num-
ber ready.
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 belts, and other areas that may require atten-
tion.
Serial No. __________________________________________
ASSEMBLY
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.
1. Assemble the Main Frame
Procedures to repair scratches and chips depend on the severity of the damage:

Install one pedal shaft (47) into the left-side
shaft guide in the main frame (2). Secure the

pedal shaft to the main frame using one screw
(75), spring washer (88) and washer (85).
Tighten the screw securely. Install the pedal
stop (50) on the pedal shaft (47).
■
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.
50
Install the remaining pedal shaft (47) into the
right-side shaft guide in the main frame (2).
Secure the pedal shaft to the main frame using
one screw (75), spring washer (88) and washer
(85). Tighten the screw securely. Install the
pedal stop (50) on the pedal shaft (47).
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.
47
The weight stack shrouds are made of PETG (glycol-modified polyethylene terephthalate). Proper cleaning is necessary to pre-
serve the appearance of the shrouds. The following cleaners are compatible with PETG: Original Dawn®, Freon® T.F., Palmolive
Liquid®, Top Job® and Windex® with Ammonia D.

■
DO NOT use Benzene, gasoline, acetone or tetrachloride to clean the shrouds.
■
DO NOT clean the shrouds in hot sun or at elevated temperatures.
Wash the shrouds using a clean sponge or soft cloth, and a solution of mild soap or detergent and lukewarm water. Rinse well with
clean water, and dry thoroughly with a chamois or moist cellulose sponge to prevent water spots.
2. Assemble the Main Frame to the Weight Stack Frame
Remove stubborn accumulations (paint, grease, scuff marks) before drying by rubbing lightly with Isopropyl alcohol. Remove
labels, placards or other adhesive residue using kerosene. If solvent does not penetrate the adhesive, heat the area using a hand-
held blow dryer to soften the adhesive and aid in removal.

Insert the belt retainer (32) 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 (76) in the belt
retainer (32). 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.
The INSTINCT INNER THIGH / OUTER THIGH 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.
Thread the retaining screw (76) through the belt clamp and into the belt retainer (32). Tighten the retaining screw to 400
inch-pounds.
Anchoring bolts/studs must meet the following requirements:
■
Anchor bolts shall be Grade 8.8 or Grade SAE 5.
Route the weight belt (53) over two pulleys and around pulley/clamp combination (15), as illustrated.
Insert the free end of the weight belt (53) through the slot in the weight stack frame belt clamp, and pull through the
opposite slot just until force is applied against the top plate (17). This will eliminate any slack in the belt and ensure prop-
er tensioning.
■
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.
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 (32) into the belt clamp. BE SURE the tapped hole in the belt retainer is aligned with the mating
hole in the belt clamp.
EXERCISE GUIDELINES
GENERAL GUIDELINES
Thread the retaining screw (76) through the belt clamp and into the belt retainer (32). 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 (76) and adjust belt tension as
needed.
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 INNER THIGH / OUTER THIGH.
Insert one end of the weight belt (54) through the slot in the moveable belt clamp until approximately one inch of the free
end of the belt protrudes from the slot in the opposite side of the clamp.
■
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.
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.
■
All training sessions should be supervised by trained personnel.
■
BE SURE that all warning labels and placards affixed to the INSTINCT INNER THIGH / OUTER THIGH 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).
Insert the belt retainer (32) 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 (76) in the belt
retainer (32). 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.
■
Instruct all users on the proper use of the INSTINCT INNER THIGH / OUTER THIGH, as well as those actions that
should be avoided.
■
Your INSTINCT INNER THIGH / OUTER THIGH 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.
Thread the retaining screw (76) through the belt clamp and into the belt retainer (32). Tighten the retaining screw to 400
inch-pounds.
To minimize user and/or bystander injury:
Route the weight belt (54) over four pulleys and around range-of-motion flywheel (10), as illustrated.
■
Do not lean the against framework, weight stack or any component, regardless of whether it is dynamic or static.
Insert the free end of the weight belt (54) through the slot in the range-of-motion flywheel belt clamp, and pull through
the opposite slot just until resistance is felt. This will eliminate any slack in the belt and ensure proper tensioning.
■
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.
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.
■
Exercising on free weight and selectorized products should be performed with the assistance of a spotter.
Insert the belt retainer (32) into the belt clamp. BE SURE the tapped hole in the belt retainer is aligned with the mating
hole in the belt clamp.
PRODUCT USE AND MAINTENANCE
Thread the retaining screw (76) through the belt clamp and into the belt retainer (32). Tighten the retaining screw to 400
inch-pounds.
Repair of the INSTINCT INNER THIGH / OUTER THIGH should be performed only by authorized persons.
NEVER modify the INSTINCT INNER THIGH / OUTER THIGH or attempt to make adjustment(s) to, or the repair of, the unit
equipment without first calling STAR TRAC Product Support. Always notify authorized personnel to make such repairs.
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 (76) and adjust belt tension as
needed.
Instruct all users to report any equipment or training irregularities to supervisory personnel IMMEDIATELY.
