Dumbbells

The Bowflex

BD 552 dumbbells are shipped fully assembled, one dumbbell to a box. After carefully removing the

dumbbell from its box, there are some initial steps that should be taken to familiarize you with the function of the product, and to

assure that all aspects of the dumbbell are performing according their specifications.

Notice: Do not drop the dumbbell. Dropping the dumbbell will damage the weight plates and locking mechanism, which could

void the warranty of this product.

1. After removing the dumbbell from its protective packaging, inspect the products and packaging material for any damages.

2. Push down slightly on the handle assembly to make sure it is fully seated in the base. Rotate each adjustment knob several

full rotations to make sure it turns freely in both directions. Make sure there is a click at each weight increment of the

adjustment knob. This click will help you locate the proper alignment to select a given weight increment.

3. The weight increments range from 5 to 52.5 lbs (2.27kg to 23.9kg) on both adjustment knobs.

To properly select a given weight (20 lbs [9kg] for example), rotate both adjustment knobs

until that number (20) is aligned with the arrow located on the outward edge of the Bowflex

nameplate (Fig.1).

4. After confirming the proper rotational function of the adjustment knob, turn each adjustment

so that the number 5 is aligned with the arrow in the Bowflex

nameplate.

5. With both adjustment knobs set to 5, pull the handle straight up from the dumbbell. This

will remove only the handle from the base, leaving all of the weight plates standing in the

base (Fig. 2). The handle without plates represents the starting weight of 5 lbs (2.27 kg).

6. You may increase the selected weight by rotating each adjustment knob clockwise.

7. The dumbbell handle and weight plates are symmetrical. The handle is inserted with

either end facing the user, provided that you have selected the same weight number on

both ends of the dumbbell.

8. When either returning or removing the dumbbell to or from the base, use a vertical

motion, perpendicular to the base. Do not tilt the dumbbell or move it laterally (parallel to

the base) until it is fully clear of the unselected weight plates.

There are 15 weight increments:

5 7.5 10 12.5 15 17.5 20 22.5 25 30 35 40 45 50 52.5

(2.27kg) (3.4kg) (4.5kg) (5.7kg) (6.8kg) (8kg) (9kg) (10.2kg) (11.4kg)

(13.6kg) (15.9kg)

(18.2kg) (20.5kg)

(22.7kg)

(23.9kg)
