Troubleshooting guide

Problem

Solution

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

number 5.

no plates attached).

2. Make certain that all of the weight plates have the “selection

 

tongue” facing away from the dumbbell grip. 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 of

base when plates are selected (handle has

the dumbbell (for example one adjustment knob is set to 5 and

plates attached).

the other is set to 7.5). 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withdrawn.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 cor-

 

rect 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.

 

3. See solution #2 from problem above.

 

 

 

 

Adjustment knob will not turn while handle

1. Check to assure that the dumbbell handle is fully depressed into

is in base.

the dumbbell base. If not fully depressed, the locking mechanism

 

will not be released and may be keeping the adjustment knobs

 

from rotating.

 

2. Check to see if any weight plates have been put 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 with the selection tongue

 

facing away from the dumbbell grip.
