Getting to know your Bowflex® SelectTech™ Dumbbells

The Bowflex SelectTech dumbbells are shipped fully assembled, one dumbbell to a box. After carefully removing the dumbbell from its box, there are some initial steps that should be taken to familiarize you with the function of the product and to assure that all aspects of the dumbbell are performing according their specifications.

1.After removing the dumbbell from its protective packaging, push down slightly on the handle assem- bly to make sure it is fully depressed into the base.

2.Rotate each adjustment knob several full rotations to make sure it is turning freely–do this in both directions. Make sure there is a click at each weight increment of the adjustment knob. This click will help you locate the proper alignment to select a given weight increment.

3.You will notice that there are

weight increments from 5 to
52.5 lbs on both adjustment
knobs. To properly		select
a given weight (20 lbs for
example), both	adjustment
knobs should	be	rotated
until 20 is aligned with the
arrow located on the out-
ward edge of the Bowflex			Figure 1
nameplate (Fig.1).

4. After confirming the proper rotational function of the adjustment knob, turn each adjustment so that the number 5 is aligned with the arrow in the Bowflex nameplate.

5. With both adjust- ment knobs set to 5, pull the handle straight up from the dumbbell. This will remove just the handle from the base,

leaving all of the		Figure 2
weight	plates

standing in the base (Fig. 2.). The handle without plates represents the starting weight of 5 lbs.

6.You may increase the selected weight by rotating each adjustment knob clockwise.

7.The dumbbell handle and weight plates are symmetrical. This means that one may insert the handle with either end facing the user provided that you have selected the same weight number on both ends of the dumbbell.

8.When either returning or removing the dumbbell to or from the base, do so in a vertical motion, perpendicular to the base. Try not to tilt the dumbbell or move it laterally (parallel to the base) until it is fully clear of the unselected weight plates.
