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| withdrawn.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. |
