CAUTION: Do not "high pin" and/or "double pin" a weight stack. This action is con-
sidered to be dangerous to users, and bystanders, and may damage your INSTINCT
SHOULDER PRESS. Aside from the mechanical damage that may result, such
action(s), in part, may cause the weight stack to crush or pinch fingers, hands
and/or extremities. DO NOT use the unit if the top plate is elevated and/or pinned
in a raised position. Seek assistance from authorized personnel to correct such a
condition.
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 (43) 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 (43) through the belt clamp and into the belt retainer (32). Tighten the retaining screw to 400
inch-pounds.
Route the weight belt (33) over six pulleys, as illustrated.
Insert the free end of the weight belt (33) through the slot in the leverage arm belt clamp, and pull through the opposite
slot just until force is applied against the top plate (10). This will eliminate any slack in the belt and ensure proper ten-
sioning.
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 (43) 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 (43) and adjust belt tension as
needed.
5. Install the Seat and Back
Cushions
Hold the back cushion (26) in place on the
main frame (3). Secure the back cushion to the
main frame with two screws (38), one screw
(36), and three washers (51). Tighten the
screws securely.
Hold the seat cushion (25) in place on the seat
post (factory-installed). Secure the seat cush-
ion to the main frame with two screws (38) and
two washers (51). Tighten the screws securely.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Star Trac strongly recommends performing regular preventive maintenance on your STAR TRAC INSTINCT SHOULDER
PRESS. 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 investigated and nec-
essary corrective actions (adjustment or parts replacement) should be performed. If any components are found to be worn or dam-
aged, 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.
