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.  
The following parts are included with the STAR TRAC INSTINCT OLYMPIC FLAT BENCH:  
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.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE  
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE  
1. Assemble the Side Frames  
Install one frame pad (9) onto each foot of the  
right side frame (1). Be sure the frame pads  
are properly seated on the frame, and the  
retaining lips on the end of each pad engage  
the foot to secure.

Star Trac strongly recommends performing regular preventive maintenance on your STAR TRAC INSTINCT OLYMPIC  
BENCH. 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 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 three weight support tubes (6) onto the  
weight shafts on the right side frame (1).  
Secure each support tube to the frame using  
one screw (12) and washer (17). Tighten the  
screws securely.

17  
DAILY MAINTENANCE  
12  
8
Press one end cap (8) into the end of each  
weight support tube (6). If needed, use a rub-  
ber mallet to tap the caps into place.  
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.  
16  
Clean and inspect the upholstered cushions (see UPHOLSTERY MAINTENANCE on page 15 for requirements).  
Install one rubber grommet (10) onto each  
weight support tube (6), and slide back on the  
tube until the grommet contacts the right side  
frame (1).  
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 15 for illustrations and part numbers of standard labels and placards used on  
STAR TRAC INSTINCT products).  
Align the three drilled holes in one barbell  
support (7) with the mating holes in the right  
side frame (1). Secure the support to the frame  
using three screws (11), washers (18) and lock  
nuts (16). Tighten the nuts securely.

FRAMEWORK MAINTENANCE  
21

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 epoxy-  
based powder from the frame.  
Install one frame pad (9) onto the foot of the  
bench frame (4). Be sure the frame pads are  
properly seated on the frame, and the retain-  
ing lips on the end of each pad engage the foot  
to secure.  
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.  
14  
Align the two drilled holes in the crossbeam (3)  
with the mating holes in the bench frame (4).  
Insert two screws (14) through the bench  
frame to maintain the parts in position. Slide  
the head support bracket (21) onto the two  
screws (14), and secure the frame, crossbeam  
and support bracket together using two wash-  
ers (17) and lock nuts (16). Tighten the nuts  
securely.  
13  
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.  
4
Procedures to repair scratches and chips depend on the severity of the damage:  
17  
Surface scratches can generally be repaired by polishing with an automotive rubbing compound.  
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 color-  
sanded to the surrounding surface.  
13  
Hold the bench cushion (5) in place on the  
bench frame (4). Secure the bench cushion to  
the bench frame with five screws (13) and  
washers (17). Tighten the screws securely.  
13  
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.

Your INSTINCT OLYMPIC INCLINE BENCH requires approximately __ square feet of floor space to ensure safe use of the  
unit.  
IMPORTANT: The INSTINCT OLYMPIC INCLINE BENCH must be secured to the floor to  
stabilize and eliminate rocking or tipping over. This must be performed by a licensed  
contractor. 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.  
UNPACKING  
Your INSTINCT OLYMPIC INCLINE BENCH is shipped in one or more shipping cartons. Each carton will generally contain  
one subassembly of the entire unit. To unpack:  
The INSTINCT OLYMPIC INCLINE BENCH 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.  
Remove the shipping straps from the outside of each shipping carton.  
Open the top of each carton and fold back all four flaps.
