PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Star Trac strongly recommends performing regular preventive maintenance on your INSTINCT ADJUSTABLE BENCHES. Without regularly scheduled maintenance, normal wear and tear may cause cumulative effects, such as misalignment or prema- ture wear, resulting in downtime. For this reason, we highly recommend following the maintenance schedules. Additionally, unusu- al 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.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
■Wipe down and inspect the framework and other structural components (see FRAMEWORK MAINTENANCE on page 15 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 15 for require- ments).
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
■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).
