GENERAL NOTES:

• Unless otherwise noted Loctite 242/243 or equivalent thread locker must be used on all threaded fasteners. (Do not
use thread locker when a Nyloc nut is used.)

• All Star Trac Strength equipment MUST be secured to the floor using either 10mm or 3/8in. (grade 5 minimum) bolts.
To accommodate this there are four mounting points inside the weight stack and one in either of the small feet.

• This Installation Instructions Manual must be used in conjunction with the equipment’s Owner’s Manual. The Owner’s
manual describes equipment setup and instructs members on how to use it correctly and safely.

• The Ab/Ad Machine weighs approximately 322 Kg (710 lbs) when fully assembled and occupies an area 140 cm wide
by 151 cm deep. Star Trac recommends the addition of 1-2 people during assembly, and when moving the
equipment to its designated point of use.

THREAD LOCKER APPLICATION:

Clean all threads and holes, apply no more than 3-4 drops per bolt.

Should any component not be present or if you have any operational questions, please refer to your owner’s manual or on
the web @ www.startrac.com

. Specifically refer to your Inspiration serial number and model number labeled on your

equipment.

PACKAGING REMOVAL:

Carefully remove all packaging materials that wrap the equipment. DO NOT USE A KNIFE OR BOX
CUTTER AS YOU MAY DAMAGE THE EQUIPMENT. At this time remove any sub-components

from the pallet and set aside for later assembly.

REMOVE THE SHROUDS:

1. Using a 4MM hex key remove the
(M6,30MM,Button Head Bolt) from the
rear of the weight stack. Save this bolt
as you will need it to re-install later. After
the bolt has been removed rotate the
black TOP BUMPER towards the front of
the weight stack then lift it off and set
aside.

2. Gripping the top of the outside SHROUD lift
and remove it from the weight stack.
Carefully store the SHROUD for later use.
Now repeat with the inside SHROUD.

REMOVE FROM PALLET:

1. With the shrouds removed, locate and
remove the two bolts that secure the
equipment to the pallet. There will also be
a bolt through each of the equipment’s
feet.

2. Once all bolts fastening the equipment to
the pallet have been removed, carefully
remove equipment off of the pallet and
place in desired location.

PROTECTIVE FEET:

1. Your equipment shipped with a set of
PROTECTIVE FEET. Tilt the equipment
towards the weight stack and slip the
small PROTECTIVE FEET on and set
the equipment back down.

2. Lift the weight stack and install the large
PROTECTIVE FOOT and set the
equipment back down. NOTE: The
weight stack frame is very heavy and will
require additional people to assist during
the foot installation.

INSTALLING THE SHROUDS:

1. Insert the SHROUDS from the top
sliding downward. The SHROUDS
have seven hooks for mounting.
Before the shroud can be slide
down into place the SHROUD
hooks need to be aligned with
the corresponding mounting slots
found on the weight frame of the
equipment. Once the SHROUD
hooks are in the slots, slide the
SHROUD into place and verify that
the top of the SHROUD is aligned
with the top of the weight stack. If
the SHROUD is not aligned use the
palm of your hand and tap the
SHROUD down until it is aligned.

2. Repeat step 1 with the inside shroud
and verify alignment.
