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 Triceps Press Machine weighs approximately 340 Kg (750 lbs) when fully assembled and occupies an area 130
cm wide by 140 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.

REMOVE THE SHROUDS:
1. Using a 4MM hex key socket 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 and lift it off. Carefully store the
TOP BUMPER for later use.
2. Gripping the top edges of the outside SHROUD lift
and remove it from the weight stack. Carefully
store the SHROUD for later use.
3. Now repeat step 2 with the inside SHROUD.
REMOVE FROM PALLET:
1. After removing the shrouds, listed above, remove
the bolts securing the equipment to the pallet. The
bolts can be found inside the weight stack as
shown. There will also be a bolt through each of
the small feet.
2. Once all bolts fastening the equipment to the
pallet have been removed, carefully slide the
equipment off of the pallet and place it in the
desired location.
INSTALL PROTECTIVE FEET:
1. Your equipment shipped with a set of
PROTECTIVE FEET. Remove the liner from the
double sided tape located on the inside edges of
the small PROTECTIVE FEET. Tilt the equipment
towards the weight stack until the two smaller feet
lift off the ground, press the PROTECTIVE FEET
into place and set the equipment back on the
ground.
2. Remove the liner from the double sided tape
located on the inside edges of the large
PROTECTIVE FOOT. Now tilt the equipment onto
the two small feet lifting the weight stack off the
ground, press the large PROTECTIVE FOOT into
place and set the equipment back on the ground.
