Dumbbell handle does not fully insert into | 1. | Make certain that both adjustment knobs are set directly to the |
base when no plates are selected (handle |

has no plates attached). | 2. | Make certain that all of the weight plates have the “selection |
|
| tongue” facing away from the dumbbell grip, as the product |
|
| was designed. If one or more of these are backwards (selection |
|
| tongue facing inward toward grip), the handle can get blocked, |
|
| and the plates may wedge into the handle. |

Dumbbell handle does not fully insert into | 1. | Check to see if you have selected different weights on each side |
base when plates are selected (handle has |
| of the dumbbell (for example one adjustment knob is set to 10 |
plates attached). |
| and the other is set to 15). If this is the case, you must replace |
|
| the dumbbell in the base with the same orientation in which was |
|
| withdrawn. This is to allow the plates to settle back into the |
|
| correct and vacant openings in the base. |
| 2. | Verify that the plates not selected (those plates remaining in |
|
| the dumbbell base) are in their correct spots and have not been |
|
| moved to a different support slot. This may be blocking the |
|
| dumbbell from fitting back into the base. |

| the dumbbell base. If not fully depressed, the locking mecha- |
|
| nism will not be released and may be keeping the adjustment |
|
| knobs from rotating. |
| 2. | Check to see if any weight plates have been forced into the base |
|
| assembly backwards with the “support tongue” facing the grip of |
|
| the dumbbell handle. All weight plates must have the selection |
|
| tongue facing away from the grip of the dumbbell handle. |
| 3. | Check to see if there is any dirt, debris or other obstruction in |
|
| the dumbbell base. You may need to remove the weight plates |
|
| from the base to accomplish this check. Remember to put each |
|
| weight plate back in its appropriate location. |
| 4. | Depress the locking tab in the handle and test rotation. If the |
|
| silver locking tab in the base is loose, replace the base. |
