4. After confirming the proper function of the locking mechanism as described above, return and fully insert the
kettlebell handle back into the base assembly.
5. With the handle back in the base, try to turn the adjustment knob to a position that is between the numbers 8 and
12 (3.5 and 5.5). This represents an incomplete weight selection where the adjustment knob has not fully selected
a weight and the knob is in-between the selection detents (clicks).
6. The selection knob should not stop and engage in this improper position. Gently attempt to lift up on the handle to
remove it from the base. You should find that the handle is locked to the base and cannot be removed with light
pressure, as it can normally.
7. Return the improperly selected adjustment knob to a full and proper weight selection and assure that the kettlebell
handle can once again be removed.
8. Repeat this test for all weight selections.
9. Assure the entire kettlebell handle assembly is properly tightened. Do this by setting the adjustment knob to 8
pounds and removing the handle assembly from the base. Grab the adjustment knob and very slightly push and
pull the knob toward and away from the handle grip. The knob should not exhibit free play and all of the selection
discs should feel tightly connected.
10. You have now tested the function of the locking mechanism. We suggest you repeat this test monthly to make sure
that the locking mechanism operates correctly.
If the kettlebell locking mechanism operates unsatisfactorily in the test procedure above, do the following:
1. Stop use of the product immediately until approved service is available.
2. Contact Customer Service (if inside US/Canada) or your local distributor (if outside US/Canada).
