ANCHORING
IMPORTANT:
The INSTINCT INNER THIGH / OUTER THIGH 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.
The INSTINCT INNER THIGH / OUTER THIGH 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 require-
ments or customer preference.
Anchoring bolts/studs must meet the following requirements:
■
Anchor bolts shall be Grade 8.8 or Grade SAE 5.
■
Anchoring bolts or studs shall have a minimum size of 6mm (1/4") diameter; 8mm (5/16") diameter bolts/studs are recom-
mended.
■
Pull-out force shall be 100kg (2201 lbs) minimum for any single anchor. This will ensure a secure anchoring system and
safe operation of the unit by all users.
Insert one end of the weight belt (53) through the slot in the top plate belt clamp until approxima-tely one inch of the free end
of the belt protrudes from the slot in the opposite side of the clamp.
While holding the free end of the belt, press down on the opposite side of the belt so it lays flat against the inside of the
clamp.
Insert the belt retainer (32) into the belt clamp. BE SURE the tapped hole in the belt retainer is aligned with the mating
hole in the belt clamp.
CAUTION: BE SURE to keep the weight belt straight when installing the retaining screw (76) in the belt
retainer (32). Misalignment of the weight belt may bias the top plate, which can cause excessive contact of
the top plate shaft with the weights, resulting in excessive noise during use, and potential hazards to the
user or other bystanders.
Thread the retaining screw (76) through the belt clamp and into the belt retainer (32). Tighten the retaining screw to 400
inch-pounds.
Route the weight belt (53) over two pulleys and around pulley/clamp combination (15), as illustrated.
Insert the free end of the weight belt (53) through the slot in the weight stack frame belt clamp, and pull through the
opposite slot just until force is applied against the top plate (17). This will eliminate any slack in the belt and ensure prop-
er tensioning.
While maintaining tension on the weight belt, press down on the free end of the belt so it lays flat against the inside of
the belt clamp.
Insert the belt retainer (32) into the belt clamp. BE SURE the tapped hole in the belt retainer is aligned with the mating
hole in the belt clamp.
Thread the retaining screw (76) through the belt clamp and into the belt retainer (32). Tighten the retaining screw to 400
inch-pounds.
Check for proper tensioning of the weight belt by applying lateral pressure to the belt at a point midway between two pul-
leys. Deflection of the weight belt should be less than 25 mm. Loosen the retaining screw (76) and adjust belt tension as
needed.
Insert one end of the weight belt (54) through the slot in the moveable belt clamp until approximately one inch of the free
end of the belt protrudes from the slot in the opposite side of the clamp.
While holding the free end of the belt, press down on the opposite side of the belt so it lays flat against the inside of the
clamp.
Insert the belt retainer (32) into the belt clamp. BE SURE the tapped hole in the belt retainer is aligned with the mating
hole in the belt clamp.
CAUTION: BE SURE to keep the weight belt straight when installing the retaining screw (76) in the belt
retainer (32). Misalignment of the weight belt may bias the top plate, which can cause excessive contact of
the top plate shaft with the weights, resulting in excessive noise during use, and potential hazards to the
user or other bystanders.
Thread the retaining screw (76) through the belt clamp and into the belt retainer (32). Tighten the retaining screw to 400
inch-pounds.
Route the weight belt (54) over four pulleys and around range-of-motion flywheel (10), as illustrated.
Insert the free end of the weight belt (54) through the slot in the range-of-motion flywheel belt clamp, and pull through
the opposite slot just until resistance is felt. This will eliminate any slack in the belt and ensure proper tensioning.
While maintaining tension on the weight belt, press down on the free end of the belt so it lays flat against the inside of
the belt clamp.
Insert the belt retainer (32) into the belt clamp. BE SURE the tapped hole in the belt retainer is aligned with the mating
hole in the belt clamp.

GENERAL GUIDELINES
As with any exercise program, strength training involves an element of risk. The information provided in this section will help you
and/or your members make safe and productive use of your STAR TRAC INSTINCT INNER THIGH / OUTER THIGH.
■
ALWAYS consult a physician before beginning any strength-training program. This is particularly important for persons
with known health conditions and/or persons that are not familiar with the risks involved with weight training.
■
All training sessions should be supervised by trained personnel.
■
BE SURE that all warning labels and placards affixed to the INSTINCT INNER THIGH / OUTER THIGH remain on
the unit. DO NOT alter warning labels and placards. BE SURE that each user reads and understands the information
shown on all labels and placards (safety, instructional and/or other).
■
Instruct all users on the proper use of the INSTINCT INNER THIGH / OUTER THIGH, as well as those actions that
should be avoided.
■
Your INSTINCT INNER THIGH / OUTER THIGH has been designed to accommodate a wide variety of body types. Prior
to use, mount the unit and adjust the seat height to ensure comfortable operation of the leverage arm.
To minimize user and/or bystander injury:
■
Do not lean the against framework, weight stack or any component, regardless of whether it is dynamic or static.
■
Stay clear of all components while in a dynamic state of motion. Keep hands and feet away from cables, belts, cams and
pulleys and/or any converging action. The convergence of these transmission-based components can cause serious injury.
■
Exercising on free weight and selectorized products should be performed with the assistance of a spotter.
