Operation
2. Push down slightly on the handle assembly to make sure it is fully seated in the
base. Rotate the adjustment knob several full rotations to make sure it turns freely
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. The weight increments range from 8 to 40 lbs (3.5kg to 18kg) on the weight selection
dial. To properly select a given weight (20 lbs [9kg] for example), rotate the
adjustment knob until the Weight Selection Window is aligned with that number (20) on
the weight selection dial.
4. After confirming the proper rotational function of the adjustment knob, turn the
adjustment knob so that the number 8 (3.5) shows in the center of the Weight Selection Window
(Fig.1).
5. With the adjustment knob set to 8 (3.5), pull the handle straight up from the kettlebell. This
will remove only the hull from the base, leaving all of the weight plates on the base (Fig. 2).
The handle without plates represents the starting weight of 8 lbs (3.5 kg).
6. You may increase the selected weight by rotating the adjustment knob clockwise.
7. The kettlebell hull and weight plates are symmetrical. The handle is inserted with either end
facing the user. The plates must be in the correct order to ensure that they are securely
seated in the base.
NOTICE: When you remove the kettlebell from the base or return it to the base, use a vertical
motion, perpendicular to the base. Do not tilt the kettlebell or move it laterally (parallel
to the base) until it is fully clear of the unselected weight plates. Do not change the
order of the stacked weight plates.
To lift the kettlebell and base together, set the adjustment knob to the maximum
weight selection and use the lift handles molded into the base assembly.
Do not lean on the kettlebell handle or use it to support your body weight , such as using
it as a base to perform a push up. Doing so will damage the weight plates and/or the locking mechanisms, and can
cause the weight plates to disengage (drop) from the handle without warning. This can cause serious injury, and
will void the warranty.
There are 6 weight increments:
