Operation

Understanding and testing the locking mechanism function

The Bowflex

SelectTech

Dumbbell features a patent pending locking mechanism designed to ensure proper and complete

selection of the weight plates as well as to ensure weight plate retention during the workout. It is important that you fully

understand the function of this mechanism and periodically test it to ensure it is properly functioning.

Function

The locking mechanism provides two key functions:

1. The mechanism will only allow the adjustment knobs to be rotated when the dumbbell handle is completely inserted and

engaging the dumbbell base.

2. The mechanism is designed to lock the dumbbell handle to the base if either adjustment knob is not fully engaging the

selected weight plates.

Purpose

The locking mechanism serves two important purposes:

1. The mechanism will prevent deselecting (dropping) weight plates from the dumbbell when it is NOT in the dumbbell base.

2. The mechanism will prevent partial selection of the weight plates in which the plates are not fully supported and the

locking pin is not fully engaged.

All locking tabs (D) must point outward.

Correct—tabs (D) point outward.

Incorrect—tab reversed.
