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.
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.

ASSEMBLY
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.
1
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.

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.

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.
