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.
Slide one weight stack support (29) onto each
weight stack guide post (14).
14
10
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, and other areas that may require atten-
tion.
Insert the weight stack guide posts (14) into
the retaining holes in the base of the weight
stack frame (1). BE SURE the drilled ends of
the weight stack guide posts face upwards,
toward the top of the weight stack frame.

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.
WARNING: TO PREVENT INJURY, IN-
STALL THE WEIGHTS ONE AT A TIME.

Procedures to repair scratches and chips depend on the severity of the damage:
64
Install weights (63, 16, 64) on the weight stack
guide posts (14), one at a time, in the following
sequence:
■
Surface scratches can generally be repaired by polishing with an automotive rubbing compound.
3
■
Deep scratches and chips must be repaired by filling the damaged area using a “touch-up” bottle of color-matched paint

■
■
■
Weight, 15lb (64) - nine required
Weight, 10lb (16) - three required
Weight, 5lb (63) - three required
(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.
Slide the looped end of the lanyard on the
selector pin (11) onto the shaft of the top plate
(10).
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.

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.
NOTE: BE SURE to hold the lanyard in place
when installing the top plate..
Install the top plate (10) on the weight stack guide posts (14), inserting the top plate shaft through the holes in the
weights. Insert the selector pin (11) through one weight until it engages the top plate shaft.
CAUTION: Use ONLY recommended cleaning agents and procedures when cleaning the weight stack shrouds:
■
DO NOT use abrasive or highly alkaline cleaners to clean the shrouds.
Install one rubber cap (31) onto each weight stack guide post (14).
■
DO NOT use scrape the shrouds with squeegees, razor blades or other sharp instruments. DO NOT scrub or use

crossmember. Secure the post to the weight stack with one screw (62) and one washer (51). Repeat for the remaining guide
post.
■
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.
4. Install the Weight Belt

NOTE: The weight belt (33) is attached to the
top plate (10) and main frame (3) using cinch
fasteners (see detail below). Two people may be
required to properly install and tension the

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 (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: 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
SHOULDER 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.
CAUTION: BE SURE to keep the weight belt straight when installing the retaining screw (43) 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.
Thread the retaining screw (43) through the belt clamp and into the belt retainer (32). Tighten the retaining screw to 400
inch-pounds.
Route the weight belt (33) over six pulleys, as illustrated.
Insert the free end of the weight belt (33) through the slot in the leverage arm belt clamp, and pull through the opposite
slot just until force is applied against the top plate (10). This will eliminate any slack in the belt and ensure proper ten-
sioning.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
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.
Star Trac strongly recommends performing regular preventive maintenance on your STAR TRAC INSTINCT SHOULDER
PRESS. Without regularly scheduled maintenance, normal wear and tear may cause cumulative effects, such as misalignment or
premature wear, resulting in downtime. For this reason, we highly recommend following the maintenance schedules. Additionally,
unusual symptoms, such as excessive noise during use, stiffness or free play in moving parts, etc., should be investigated and nec-
essary corrective actions (adjustment or parts replacement) should be performed. If any components are found to be worn or dam-
aged, 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.
Thread the retaining screw (43) 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 (43) and adjust belt tension as
needed.
