QUARTERLY MAINTENANCE

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

■

Read this Owner's Manual carefully before assembling, servicing or using your STAR TRAC INSTINCT ADJUSTABLE BENCHES.
WARNING: SERIOUS INJURY MAY OCCUR IF THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT OBSERVED.
UNDERSTANDING EACH AND EVERY WARNING TO THE FULLEST IS IMPORTANT. IF ANY OF THESE WARNINGS ARE UNCLEAR, CONTACT STAR TRAC PRODUCT SUPPORT FOR CLARIFICATION.
1. Do not use any equipment in any way other than
designed or intended by the manufacturer. It is imperative that weight stack machines as well as any other
STAR TRAC INSTINCT equipment is used properly to
avoid injury.
2. Make sure there is enough room for safe access and operation of the INSTINCT ADJUSTABLE BENCHES.
3. Keep hands, feet, head, limbs, fingers and hair clear at all
times from moving parts to avoid injury. Use appropriate
positioning, speed and controlled movements.
4. DO NOT use any equipment that is damaged and or has
worn or broken parts. Use only replacement parts supplied by STAR TRAC.
5. DO NOT wear loose or dangling clothing while using the
INSTINCT ADJUSTABLE BENCHES. Keep away

6. Obtain a medical examination prior to beginning an exercise program.
7. If at any time during exercise you feel faint, dizzy or
experience pain, STOP IMMEDIATELY and consult your
physician before continuing.
8. Children must NOT be allowed to operate the
INSTINCT ADJUSTABLE BENCHES. Adolescents
must be supervised when using the INSTINCT
ADJUSTABLE BENCHES.
9. DO NOT attempt to fix a broken or jammed unit. Notify
authorized personnel.
10. Use the INSTINCT ADJUSTABLE BENCHES only
for the intended use. Obtain instruction on proper use of
the unit. It is the purchaser's sole responsibility to properly instruct end users and supervising personnel as to
the proper operating procedures of all STAR TRAC
INSTINCT equipment. DO NOT modify the unit.
11. Load plates evenly and carefully to avoid tipping equipment and possible crushing injuries.
12. DO NOT use the INSTINCT ADJUSTABLE BENCHES if guards or shrouds are missing or damaged.
13. USE A SPOTTER.
14. DO NOT add incremental weights, except those provided
by STAR TRAC.
15. MAINTAIN PLACARDS AND LABELS: Do not remove
labels for any reason; they contain important information. If illegible or missing, contact the STAR TRAC
Parts Department for replacement.
16. SECURING EQUIPMENT: The INSTINCT
ADJUSTABLE BENCHES MUST be secured to the
floor to stabilize and eliminate rocking or tipping over.
This must be performed by a licensed contractor. DO
NOT use the UNIT if it is not set up and located on a
solid level surface.

6

17. Make sure that each machine is set up and operated on a
solid level surface. DO NOT install equipment on an
uneven surface.

Apply wax to powder-coated areas of the framework and other structural components.

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
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 epoxybased powder from the frame.

18. MAINTAIN ALL EQUIPMENT: Preventative maintenance is the key to ensuring smooth and reliable operation of the INSTINCT ADJUSTABLE BENCHES, as
well as keeping your liability to a minimum. Inspect the
unit prior to use. Give particular attention to the areas
most susceptible to wear. DO NOT use if the unit is damaged or inoperable.

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, and other areas that may require attention.

19. Ensure that adjustment, maintenance and/or repair of
the INSTINCT ADJUSTABLE BENCHES is performed by qualified personnel ONLY. Immediately
replace worn or damaged components. If unable to immediately replace worn or damaged components then
remove the INSTINCT ADJUSTABLE BENCHES
from service until repairs are made.

Procedures to repair scratches and chips depend on the severity of the damage:

20. Keep a repair log of all maintenance activities.
21. Routinely inspect all accessory clips that join attachments to weight belts or cables, and replace at the first
sign of wear.
22 Use only weight selector pins supplied by STAR TRAC
on weight stacks. Substitutes are forbidden.
23. Cables and belts pose an extreme liability if used when
frayed. Always replace any cable or belt at first sign of
wear (consult STAR TRAC Product Support if uncertain).
24. Fully insert the weight selector pin when selecting the
desired weight. Partially inserted pins can cause weights
to fall unexpectedly. NEVER remove the weight selector
pin if any weights are suspended. NEVER attempt to
release jammed weights or parts.

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 wipedown.

■

Surface scratches can generally be repaired by polishing with an automotive rubbing compound.

■

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 colorsanded to the surrounding surface.

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 preserve 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.
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.

■

DO NOT use scrape the shrouds with squeegees, razor blades or other sharp instruments. DO NOT scrub or use
brushes on the shrouds.

■

DO NOT use Benzene, gasoline, acetone or tetrachloride to clean the shrouds.

■

DO NOT clean the shrouds in hot sun or at elevated temperatures.

25. DO NOT use Lat Pulldown Bars on Multi-jungle
Crossover cable systems or any other pulley systems.
These bars are designed for lat pulldown machines
ONLY. If improperly used, the Lat Bar could fall unexpectedly, striking the user when weight selector pin is
removed.

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.

26. Lat Pulldown Machines pose a danger if used with worn
or damaged cables and connecting links. The user can be
struck in the head if the cable or related parts break during use.

Clean all areas treated with solvent using a clean sponge or soft cloth, and a solution of mild soap or detergent and lukewarm
water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.

27. When adjusting any seat, knee hold down pad, range of
motion limiter, foothold pad or any other type of adjuster,
make certain that the adjusting pin is fully engaged in
the retainer hole to avoid injury.

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 handheld blow dryer to soften the adhesive and aid in removal.

UPHOLSTERY MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: DO NOT use cleaners such as Lysol®, Armor All®, Windex®, or other abrasive detergents to clean upholstered surfaces. These products will remove moisture from the Naugahyde® upholstery, resulting in premature
cracking.
Upholstered cushions should be cleaned on a daily basis to prevent damaged due to corrosives found in perspiration.

NOTE: It is the sole responsibility of the user/owner or facility
operator to ensure that regular maintenance is performed.

STAR TRAC INSTINCT ADJUSTABLE BENCHES OWNER’S MANUAL

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.

■

All training sessions should be supervised by trained personnel.

■

BE SURE that all warning labels and placards affixed to the INSTINCT ADJUSTABLE BENCHES remain on the unit.
DO NOT alter warning labels and placards. BE SURE that each user reads and understands the information shown on all

■

■

Instruct all users on the proper use of the INSTINCT ADJUSTABLE BENCHES, as well as those actions that should be

Additionally, unusual 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.
