assist you and/or your members in making the experience on STAR TRAC both productive and
safe.
• Prior to engaging in any strength-training program, individuals with known health conditions
and/or individuals whom are unfamiliar with the risk (s) involved with weight training, should first
consult with a physician.
• All training sessions should be supervised by trained personnel.
• Be certain that the warning stickers affixed on STAR TRAC, remain on the product and
unaltered. Also, be certain that all the stickers (safety, instructional and/or other) are read and
understood by each user.
• All users should be instructed on the proper use of STAR TRAC as well as those actions that
should be avoided.
• The STAR TRAC Max Rack has safety catches specifically designed to enhance the use of the
product and protect the user – ALWAYS use the safety catches as outlined on the user
placards.
In an attempt to minimize user and/or bystander injury:
