Preventive Maintenance

3. Assemble the Weight Stack

NOTE: Two people are required to assemble the weight stack; one to hold the weight stack guide posts in position, and one to assemble the weight stack components onto the posts.

Slide one weight stack support (61) onto each weight stack guide post (48).

Insert the weight stack guide posts (48) into the retaining holes in the base of the weight stack frame (1). BE SURE the drilled ends of the weight stack guide posts face upwards, toward the top of the weight stack frame.

WARNING: TO PREVENT INJURY, IN-

STALL THE WEIGHTS ONE AT A TIME.

Install weights (18, 19, 20) on the weight stack guide posts (48), one at a time, in the following sequence:

■Weight, 15lb (20) - three required

■Weight, 10lb (19) - three required

■Weight, 5lb (18) - three required

Slide the looped end of the lanyard on the selector pin (23) onto the shaft of the top plate (17).

NOTE: BE SURE to hold the lanyard in place when installing the top plate.

CAUTION: Do not "high pin" and/or "double pin" a weight stack. This action is con- sidered to be dangerous to users, and bystanders, and may damage your INSTINCT INNER THIGH / OUTER THIGH. Aside from the mechanical damage that may result, such action(s), in part, may cause the weight stack to crush or pinch fingers, hands and/or extremities. DO NOT use the unit if the top plate is elevated and/or pinned in a raised position. Seek assistance from authorized personnel to correct such a condition.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Star Trac strongly recommends performing regular preventive maintenance on your STAR TRAC INSTINCT INNER OUTER THIGH MACHINE. Without regularly scheduled maintenance, normal wear and tear may cause cumulative effects, such as mis- alignment 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 investi- gated 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.

Install the top plate (17) on the weight stack guide posts (48), inserting the top plate shaft through the holes in the weights. Insert the selector pin (23) through one weight until it engages the top plate shaft.

Install one rubber cap (62) onto each weight stack guide post (48).

Lift up on one weight stack guide post (48) until the rubber cap (62) contacts the underside of the weight stack frame cross- member. Secure the post to the weight stack with one screw (72) and washer (85). Repeat for the remaining guide post.

4. Install the Weight Belts

NOTE: The Inner Outer Thigh Machine uses
two weight belts; one weight belt (53) is attached		1
to the top plate (17) and the weight stack frame
(1), and one weight belt (54) is attached to a		76
moveable pulley/clamp combination (15) and		76
moveable pulley/clamp combination (15) and
the range-of-motion flywheel (10). Each belt is		76
attached using cinch fasteners (see detail below).		76

Remove the retaining screws (76) and belt retainers (32) from the belt clamps on the weight stack top plate (17), weight stack frame (1), moveable pulley/clamp combination (15) and range-of-motion flywheel (10).

DAILY MAINTENANCE

■Wipe down and inspect the framework and other structural components (see FRAMEWORK MAINTENANCE on page 14 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 14 for require- ments).

■Clean and lubricate guide rods using a cotton cloth and break-free lubricant. Apply the lubricant to the cloth, then wipe up and down the guide rods as needed.

■Inspect weight belts for excessive wear or other damage. Check weight belts for proper tension (weight belt deflection at any point should not exceed 25 mm); adjust as needed. (See WEIGHT BELT INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS on page 15 for requirements.)

■Check pedal bearings for evidence of sticking or binding; lubricate as needed (bearings are equipped with fitting to facili- tate lubrication).

WEEKLY MAINTENANCE

■Check the retainer screws at the weight stack top plate, weight stack frame, moveable clamp and range-of-motion flywheel for security (retainer screws should be torqued to 400 inch-pounds). Tighten as needed.

■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 16 for illustrations and part numbers of standard labels and placards used on STAR TRAC INSTINCT products).

MONTHLY MAINTENANCE

■Clean tops of bearings at weight stack top plate. Check for heavy buildup on guide rods below top plate (lift half of weight stack to perform a visual inspection and clean as necessary).

QUARTERLY MAINTENANCE

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