Getting to know your Bowflex® SelectTech® Dumbbells

The Bowflex® SelectTech® dumbbells are shipped fully assembled, one dumbbell to a box. After carefully remov- ing 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 dumb- bell are performing according their specifications.

! 4 4 % . 4 ) / .

Do not drop the dumbbell from a height of more than 12 inches. Dropping will damage the weight plates and locking mechanism, and could void the warranty on this product.

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 10 to 90 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® nameplate (Fig.1).

4.After confirming the proper rotational function of the adjustment knob, turn each adjustment so that the number 10 is aligned with the arrow in the Bowflex® nameplate.

5.With both adjustment knobs set to 10, pull the handle straight up from the dumbbell. This will remove just the

handle from the base, leaving all of the weight plates standing in the base (Fig. 2.). The handle without plates represents the starting weight

of 10 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.
