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 2.5.
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
base when plates are selected (handle has		of the dumbbell (for example one adjustment knob is set to 2.5
plates attached).		and the other is set to 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		withdrawn.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.
