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 (29) onto each
weight stack guide post (14).
Insert the weight stack guide posts (14) 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 (63, 16, 64) on the weight stack
guide posts (14), one at a time, in the following
sequence:
■ Weight, 15lb (64) - nine required
■ Weight, 10lb (16) - three required
■ Weight, 5lb (63) - three required
Slide the looped end of the lanyard on the
selector pin (11) onto the shaft of the top plate
(10).
NOTE:
BE SURE to hold the lanyard in place
when installing the top plate..
Install the top plate (10) on the weight stack guide posts (14), inserting the top plate shaft through the holes in the
weights. Insert the selector pin (11) through one weight until it engages the top plate shaft.
Install one rubber cap (31) onto each weight stack guide post (14).
Lift up on one weight stack guide post (14) until the rubber cap (31) contacts the underside of the weight stack frame
crossmember. Secure the post to the weight stack with one screw (62) and one washer (51). Repeat for the remaining guide
post.
4. Install the Weight Belt
NOTE:
The weight belt (33) is attached to the
top plate (10) and main frame (3) using cinch
fasteners (see detail below). Two people may be
required to properly install and tension the
weight belt.
Remove the retaining screws (43) and belt
retainers (39) from the belt clamps on the
weight stack top plate (10) and main frame (3).
Insert one end of the weight belt (33) through the slot in the top plate belt clamp until approximately one inch of the free
end of the belt protrudes from the slot in the opposite side of the clamp.
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

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.
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, worn or damaged weight belt, and other areas that may require atten-
tion.
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.
Procedures to repair scratches and chips depend on the severity of the damage:
■
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.
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.
The weight stack shrouds are made of PETG (glycol-modified polyethylene terephthalate). Proper cleaning is necessary to pre-
serve the appearance of the shrouds. The following cleaners are compatible with PETG: Original Dawn®, Freon® T.F., Palmolive
Liquid®, Top Job® and Windex® with Ammonia D.
CAUTION: Use ONLY recommended cleaning agents and procedures when cleaning the weight stack shrouds:
■
DO NOT use abrasive or highly alkaline cleaners to clean the shrouds.
■
DO NOT use scrape the shrouds with squeegees, razor blades or other sharp instruments. DO NOT scrub or use
brushes on the shrouds.
■
DO NOT use Benzene, gasoline, acetone or tetrachloride to clean the shrouds.
■
DO NOT clean the shrouds in hot sun or at elevated temperatures.
Wash the shrouds using a clean sponge or soft cloth, and a solution of mild soap or detergent and lukewarm water. Rinse well with
clean water, and dry thoroughly with a chamois or moist cellulose sponge to prevent water spots.
Remove stubborn accumulations (paint, grease, scuff marks) before drying by rubbing lightly with Isopropyl alcohol. Remove
labels, placards or other adhesive residue using kerosene. If solvent does not penetrate the adhesive, heat the area using a hand-
held blow dryer to soften the adhesive and aid in removal.
Clean all areas treated with solvent using a clean sponge or soft cloth, and a solution of mild soap or detergent and lukewarm
water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.

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.
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.
