Problem
Dumbbell handle does not fully insert into base
when no plates are selected (handle has no
plates attached).
Dumbbell handle does not fully insert into base
when plates are selected (handle has plates
attached).
Adjustment knob will not turn while handle is in
base.
Plates are not secured to the handle and drop out.
Troubleshooting
Solution
1. Make certain that both adjustment knobs are set directly to the
number 2.
1. Check to see if you have selected different weights on each side of the
dumbbell (for example one adjustment knob is set to 2 and the other is
set to 3). If this is the case, you must replace the dumbbell in the base
with the same orientation from which it was withdrawn. This is to allow
the plates to settle back into the correct and vacant openings in the
base.
2. Verify that the plates not selected (those plates remaining in the dumb-
bell base) are in their correct spots and have not been moved to differ-
ent support slots. This may be blocking the dumbbell from fitting back
into the base.
1. Check to assure that the dumbbell handle is fully depressed into the
dumbbell base. If not fully depressed, the locking mechanism will not
be released and may prevent the adjustment knobs from rotating.
2. Check to see if any weight plates have been put into the base assem-
bly backwards with the "Locking Tab" 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.
1. Confirm that all of the weight plates have the "Locking Tab" facing
away from the dumbbell grip. If one or more of the weights are inserted
backwards with "Locking Tab" facing inward toward the grip, the
handle can get blocked, and the plates may wedge into the handle.
2. Verify that the plates not selected (those plates remaining in the dumb-
bell base) are in their correct spots and have not been moved to differ-
ent support slots. This may be blocking the dumbbell from fitting back
into the base.
