How To Install Your Mounting Trax:

Please follow the instructions below and view our How To Video On Our Website:

Step 1: Install the Mounting Trax
Prepare and gather all the tools needed to install your StackTrax Mounts.

Step 2: Find the location where you would like to install your Trax. You must install Trax into a wood stud or solid surface.

Step 3: Locate your Studs. Using a Stud Finder, locate the left and right edge of the stud and mark them with a pencil. Mark the center of the stud between those edges with a pencil to ensure you are securing your Trax as close to the center of the stud as possible.

We recommend doing the “Nail Test” to check to make sure you are drilling into the center of the stud.

Nail Test

1. Take a 1-inch nail and hammer it into where you marked the center of the stud with the stud finder and pencil. (You should feel resistance going in if you have hit a stud)
2. Then, hammer the nail where you marked the edge of the stud on the left and right side.
3. If all three marked points hit the stud, you have successfully pinpointed where the center of the stud is.
4. If the nail goes all the way in on either side of the center point, that indicates you hit dry wall. Move a half an inch towards the center and nail in again.  Keep moving inward until you have successfully hit a stud with the nail to mark off the edge of the stud. **Note: A stud is typically 2 inches wide. The edge of the stud should be 1 inch on both sides from the center point where you will need to drill the holes)

Stud Finding Tips:

• Locate the nearest electrical outlet. Most outlets are attached to the right or left of a stud.
• Most standard wood studs are 16” or 24” apart.
• Check the location of any stud a few times before drilling or securing any Mounting Trax.
• Wooded studs can be installed with a slight angle and the center of the stud could be off slightly from the lowest Trax to the highest. “Measure/locate a stud twice, drill once”

Step 4: Once the desired stud is found; begin to mark and measure the height to install your Mounting Trax. We recommend installing the lower Trax first (10 inches on center from the floor)

Mount the Top Trax at 80-inches or around a preferred height for the user. Remember that you will need to lift your fitness fitting up to the Trax and slide the pin through to secure.

Mount the Middle Trax at hip level or about 36-38-inches from the floor. Personal preference on height and location are options for any user. Note, all Trax must be secured into a wood stud or solid surface.

Mount the Bottom Trax at shin height or about 10 inches from the floor.

Step 5: Next, place the Mounting Trax at the desired height and mark with a pencil, in between the holes of the Mounting Trax, where you need to drill your pilot holes before you screw in the lag screws. Check to make sure the Trax is level prior to marking and pre-drilling.

Step 6: Remove the Mounting Trax from the wall and drill your pilot holes using the recommended drill bit.

Drill bit. Using a standard 1/4-inch drill bit, measure the drill bit against the length of the lag screw. The drill bit in the photo happens to be the same length of the lag screw (about 21/2 -inches). Predrill a hole equal to length of the lag screw. If the drill bit is longer than the lag screw, place a piece of tape around the drill bit marking 21/2 -inches of the bit.

Note: You should notice that drilling will be easy through the drywall and will get more difficult as you hit the wood stud. If your drill bit quickly goes all the way through, you may have not hit a stud. If so, it is highly recommended you check your location of the stud before you go any further. In addition, you should notice during predrilling, wood should be present when backing the drill bit out, indicating you have hit a stud.

Step 7: Once the pilot hole is created, place your Mounting Trax back onto the wall. The predrilled holes should line up with the Mounting Trax holes.

Using the lag screws, washers and hex bolt drill bit provided, screw the bolt with the washer attached into the wall with your drill or rachet.

Option: Tighten with a ratchet, but DO NOT overtighten screws with your drill or your ratchet.

Once the lower Mounting Trax is installed, find and mark the same stud at the heights desired for your middle and high Trax.

Step 8: Repeat all steps in this process to install any additional Mounting Trax. Make sure all lag bolts are tight and that the Mounting Trax are flushed against the wall.

**StackTrax recommends professional installation or to contact us (info@stacktraxfitness.com) for any questions or concerns on installing your StackTrax.

Installing a Stringer Board

Benefits of installing a stringer board

• Stringer Boards increase structural strength.
• Allow you to mount into wood instead of concrete or masonry. When you screw into concrete, the stress and vibration of the torque can pull mounts out over time, installing a stringer can minimize that.
• Can help install into studs when your studs are installed in non-standard spacing.
• You can place your Trax where you want. Some studs are not exactly where you want them to be.

Instructions:

1. Decide what kind of stringer board you want. If you are setting your Trax at a high, medium, and low, we recommend doing a vertical stringer board down the stud (See picture below) Vertical Stringer Board: Get a nice piece of wood at your local hardware store. We recommend a 4”x1”x 8’- cut to 7ft length.
2. Find where your studs are with a stud finder and mark the center of the stud. Make sure you check all the way up the stud as some studs aren’t completely straight.
3. Mark up your stringer board where the screws holes will be. (See the heights in pictures below). Mark with a pencil. These should all be in the center of the board because it will line up with the center of the stud.
4. Position the stringer board where you will be installing it. The center of the board should align with the center of the stud.
5. Pre-drill through the stringer and into the stud at the heights and points marked up. Use two or four pilot holes for the vertical.
6. Using 3-inch lag screws, screw the stringer into your studs. Make sure you are going into studs and not drywall.
7. Once the stringer is on your wall, it’s now time to install your Trax. Pre drill the holesfor your Trax (recommended in the center of your stringer board) and follow the instructions on how to install your Trax on previous pages.
8. Install your Trax into the stringer using the screws provided by StackTrax.
   

How To Use Stack Trax Fitness Equipment

Attaching and Removing Fitness Fittings To and From Wall Mount

1. Step 1: Insert the connecting end of the Fitness Fitting into the slot of the Mounting Trax.
2. Step 2: Securely push the Fitness Fitting all the way into the Mounting Trax. As you do so, slide the Locking Pin from either side of the Mounting Trax through the Trax and the Fitness Fitting. Make sure the pin is securely all the way through the Mounting Trax on the other end.
3. Step 3: Make sure the Fitness Fitting is securely connected to the Mounting Trax before starting any movement or exercise. If you feel at any time the Fitness Fitting or Mounting Trax are not securely attached, stop immediately, check, and correct any connection issues.
4. Step 4: To release and remove the Fitness Fitting, securely hold onto the fitting, release the pressure from the Locking Pin as you slide the Locking Pin out from the Mounting Trax and Fitness Fitting. Once the Locking Pin is pulled out you can remove the Fitness Fitting from the Mount.
