Serial No. __________________________________________
■
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.
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.
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.
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.
U
PHOLSTERYMAINTENANCE
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.
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.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Star Trac strongly recommends performing regular preventive maintenance on your STAR TRAC INSTINCT CRUNCH
MACHINE. 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 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.
D
AILYMAINTENANCE
■
Wipe down and inspect the framework and other structural components (see FRAMEWORK MAINTENANCE on page 10 for
requirements). Check all attaching hardware for security. Tighten as needed.
■
Clean and inspect the upholstered cushions and the hand grips (see UPHOLSTERY MAINTENANCE on page 11 for requirements).
W
EEKLYMAINTENANCE
■
Check all labels and placards affixed to the unit for legibility and security.Replace illegible labels and placards as needed
(see LABELS AND PLACARDS on page 11 for illustrations and part numbers of standard labels and placards used on
STAR TRAC INSTINCT products).
Q
UARTERLYMAINTENANCE
■
Apply wax to powder-coated areas of the framework and other structural components.
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
F
RAMEWORKMAINTENANCE
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.
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.
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.
Procedures to repair scratches and chips depend on the severity of the damage:
■
Surface scratches can generally be repaired by polishing with an automotive rubbing compound.
Page 8
4. Install the Handle Subassembly
Place the handle subassembly (5) in position
on the handle bracket (4). Insert the two
threaded couplings on each side of the handle
subassembly through the drilled holes in the
handle bracket. Secure the couplings to the
handle bracket using four flange nuts (14).
Tighten the nuts securely.
Press a nylon nut (15) over each flange nut
(14). If needed, use a rubber mallet to tap the
caps in place. Make sure the bottom of each
cap is flush with the handle bracket.
5. Install the Armrests
Slide the left armrest (6) onto the left handle
and into position on the handle bracket (4).
Align the four drilled holes in the armrest with
the four mounting studs on the handle bracket. Secure the armrest to the handle bracket
using four screws (29), four washers (40) and
four washers (36). Tighten the screws securely.
Repeat for the right armrest (7).
6. Install the Front Handles and
Cap
Install the front frame cap (21) into the top of
the front frame (1). If needed, use a rubber
mallet to tap the cap in place. Make sure the
cap is fully seated in the front frame.
Insert the front handles (10) through the guide
holes in the front frame (1), centering the handles in the frame.
Secure the upper front handle to the front
frame using one screw (30). Secure the lower
front handle to the front frame using two
screws (30) and two screws (31). Tighten all
screws securely.
7. Install the Back and Seat Cushions
Hold the seat cushion (8) in place on the rear
frame (2). Secure the seat cushion to the rear
frame using four screws (27) and washers (37).
Tighten the screws securely.
Hold the back cushion (9) in place on the rear
frame (2). Secure the back cushion to the rear
frame with four screws (27) and washers (37).
Tighten the screws securely.
You have now completed assembly of your
INSTINCT CRUNCH MACHINE.
ANCHORING
IMPORT ANT:
The INSTINCT CRUNCH MACHINE 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.
The INSTINCT CRUNCH MACHINE 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 customer preference.
Anchoring bolts/studs must meet the following requirements:
■
Anchor bolts shall be Grade 8.8 or Grade SAE 5.
■
Anchoring bolts or studs shall have a minimum size of 6mm (1/4") diameter; 8mm (5/16") diameter bolts/studs are recommended.
■
Pull-out force shall be 100kg (2201 lbs) minimum for any single anchor. This will ensure a secure anchoring system and
safe operation of the unit by all users.
