Lift up on one weight stack guide post (19) until the bushing (28) contacts the underside of the weight stack frame cross-
member. Secure the post to the weight stack with one screw (42) and washer (49). Repeat for the remaining guide post.
NOTE:
The weight belt (20) is attached to the top plate (22) and main frame
(2) using cinch fasteners (see detail). Two people may be required to proper-
ly install and tension the weight belt.
Remove the retaining screws (41) and belt retainers (17) from the belt
clamps on the weight stack top plate (22) and main frame (2).
Insert one end of the weight belt (20) 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.
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 (17) 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 (41) in the belt retainer
(17). 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 (41) through the belt clamp and into the belt retainer (17). Tighten the retaining screw to 400
inch-pounds.
Route the weight belt (20) over six pulleys, as illustrated.
Insert the free end of the weight belt (20) through the slot in the main frame belt clamp, and pull through the opposite
slot just until force is applied against the top plate (22). 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 (17) 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 (41) through the belt clamp and into the belt retainer (17). 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 (41) and adjust belt tension as
needed.
3. Install the Handgrips
Align the two drilled holes in the left-side
handgrip (5) with the mating holes in the main
frame (2). Insert two screws (46) through the
handgrip and main frame to maintain the
parts in position. Slide the right-side handgrip
(6) onto the two screws (46), and secure the
frame and handgrips together using two wash-
ers (49) and nuts (48). Tighten the nuts secure-
ly.
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.
