SelectTech 840 Kettlebell: Why won't the kettlebell fit or the dial
turn while set in the base?
Follow this troubleshooting guide to help adjust the selection dial of your SelectTech
the base.
Some common complaints may include:
Handle doesn't adjust
Adjustment/selection dial won't turn
Can't select a different weight setting
Weight dial is stuck
Kettlebell doesn't fit in base
Follow these steps to troubleshoot the issue
1.
Check which weight selection the dial is set to. If the dial is set to 8lb, check if the 5lb weight plate is in the
base. Place your kettlebell in the base and make sure the handle is fully depressed into the base. Grasp the
selection dial tightly with the palm of your hand resting on the Bowflex logo. Try and rotate the dial. If the dia
rotates and the 5 lb weight plate is in the base, skip to Step 7.
2.
If the dial will not rotate, remove the kettlebell from the base. Remove plates 1-4 from the base and carefully
set them aside. Inspect the base for any dirt, debris or other obstruction and remove obstructions as
needed [12145.A]. Make sure the 5 lb weight plate is inserted into the base (reference 1). Once complete,
skip to Step 7.
3.
If the selection dial is not set to 8 lb/3.5 kg, set your kettlebell and base on a towel or blanket on the floor.
The rubber feet on the bottom of the kettlebell can mark hard surfaces with black smudges if it is not covered
