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).
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with the same orientation in which was withdrawn.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
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.
Adjustment knob will not turn while handle
is in 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 be keeping 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.
Plates are not secured to the handle and drop out.
1. Confirm that all of the weight plates have the “Locking Tab” facing
away from the dumbbell grip (See Figure B, page 5). If one or more
of the weights are inserted backwards with “Locking Tab” facing
inward toward 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
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.
