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.

11  
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.  
2
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  
29  
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  
Lift up on one weight stack guide post (14) until the rubber cap (31) contacts the underside of the weight stack frame  
brushes on the shrouds.  
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  
Remove stubborn accumulations (paint, grease, scuff marks) before drying by rubbing lightly with Isopropyl alcohol. Remove

UPHOLSTERY MAINTENANCE  
10  
CAUTION: DO NOT use cleaners such as Lysol®, Armor All®, Windex®, or other abrasive detergents to clean uphol-  
stered surfaces. These products will remove moisture from the Naugahyde® upholstery, resulting in premature  
cracking.  
43  
3
Upholstered cushions should be cleaned on a daily basis to prevent damaged due to corrosives found in perspiration.  
Wipe the top and sides of upholstered cushions using a cloth moistened with a solution of one part lanolin hand cleaner to nine  
parts water. After cleaning, wipe down using a dry towel to remove any residue.

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.  
DAILY MAINTENANCE  
1
Wipe down and inspect the framework and other structural components (see FRAMEWORK MAINTENANCE on page 13 for  
requirements). Check all attaching hardware for security. Tighten as needed.  
4
Clean and inspect the upholstered cushions and the hand grips (see UPHOLSTERY MAINTENANCE on page 13 for require-  
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.  
5. Install the Seat and Back  
Cushions

2
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 WEIGHT / BELT INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS on page 14 for requirements.)  
Hold the back cushion (26) in place on the  
main frame (3). Secure the back cushion to the  
main frame with two screws (38), one screw  
(36), and three washers (51). Tighten the  
screws securely.  
Check leverage arm for evidence of sticking or binding; lubricate as needed bearings are equipped with fitting to facilitate

ANCHORING  
IMPORTANT: The INSTINCT SHOULDER PRESS must be secured to the floor to stabi-  
lize and eliminate rocking or tipping over. This must be performed by a licensed con-  
tractor. 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.

shrouds (9, 27) slightly to engage the mating  
grooves in the weight stack frame (1).

The INSTINCT SHOULDER 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 cus-  
tomer preference.

Slide the lower front shroud (9) into the mat-  
ing grooves in the weight stack frame (1). Slide  
the lower rear shroud (27) into the mating  
grooves in the weight stack frame.

Anchoring bolts/studs must meet the following requirements:  
Anchor bolts shall be Grade 8.8 or Grade SAE 5.

Install one tapped hole nut (34) onto each of  
the six upper shroud mounting tabs on the  
weight stack frame (1).  
Anchoring bolts or studs shall have a minimum size of 6mm (1/4") diameter; 8mm (5/16") diameter bolts/studs are recom-  
28  
mended.

Repeat for the remaining upper shroud (28).  
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 INSTINCT SHOULDER 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.  
7. Final Assembly and Testing  
Check all attaching parts to ensure they are  
tightened securely.  
All training sessions should be supervised by trained personnel.  
Verify operation of the seat post:  
BE SURE that all warning labels and placards affixed to the INSTINCT SHOULDER 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).  
Mount the unit. While holding the seat  
post, press the ratchet handle to retract  
the locking pin, and raise the seat. Release  
the ratchet handle, and verify the locking  
pin engages the first drilled hole at the  
first seat position.  
Instruct all users on the proper use of the INSTINCT SHOULDER PRESS, as well as those actions that should be avoid-  
ed.  
Your INSTINCT SHOULDER 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.  
Repeat to verify the locking pin engages  
the drilled hole at all seat positions.  
To minimize user and/or bystander injury:  
Return the seat post to the "stowed" posi-  
tion.  
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.  
Verify the seat post slides smoothly, with-  
out evidence of sticking or binding.  
Mount the unit. Engage the selector pin at a  
comfortable weight.  
Exercising on free weight and selectorized products should be performed with the assistance of a spotter.  
Operate the leverage arm and check the following:  
PRODUCT USE AND MAINTENANCE  
Verify operation of the leverage arm is  
smooth, without evidence of sticking or  
binding.  
Repair of the INSTINCT SHOULDER PRESS should be performed only by authorized persons.  
NEVER modify the INSTINCT SHOULDER 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.  
Verify there is no evidence of "free play"  
when actuating the leverage arm from the  
"stowed" position.  
Instruct all users to report any equipment or training irregularities to supervisory personnel IMMEDIATELY.  
Verify there is no evidence of excessive  
noise during operation.  
Return the leverage arm to the "stowed" position.  
You have now completed assembly of your INSTINCT SHOULDER PRESS.
