Getting to know your Bowex™ SelectTech™ Dumbbells
After carefully removing the dumbbell from its box, there are some initial steps that should be taken to familiarize yourself with the function of the
product, and to assure that all aspects of the dumbbell are performing accordingly to the specifications.
Do not drop the dumbbell. Dropping the dumbbell will damage the weight plates and/or the locking mechanism, and can cause the
weight plates to disengage (drop) from the handle without warning. This can cause serious injury, and will void the warranty.
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 Grip 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 Grip. This click will help you locate the
proper alignment to select a given weight increment.
3. The weight increments range from 2.3 to 27.2 kg (5 lbs to 60 lbs). The dumbbell displays pounds
or kilograms depending on which selection window is viewed. To properly select a given weight (9.1 kg [20 lbs], for example), rotate the
Adjustment Grip until that number (9.1 or 20) is shown in the Weight Selection Window.
Note: Please be advised that due to tolerances in the manufacturing process, individual weight plates may vary slightly from their stated
weight values. The selected weight value will be shown for a few seconds on the display if not paired with the app.
4. After confirming the proper rotational function of the Adjustment Grip, turn it until the number 5 is shown in the Weight Selection Window.
5. With the Adjustment Grip set to 2.3 (or 5), pull the Handle Assembly straight up from the Base. This will remove only the Handle Assembly
from the Base, and let all of the Weight Plates stay in the Base. The Handle Assembly without plates gives the initial weight of 2.3 kg (5
lbs).
6. The dumbbell Weight Plates are symmetrical. The handle is inserted with either end facing the
user.
NOTICE: When you remove the dumbbell from the Base or return it to 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.
Do not lean on the dumbbell handles or use them to support your body weight, such as using
them as a base to perform a push up. Doing so will damage the weight plates and/or the locking
mechanisms, and can cause the weight plates to disengage (drop) from the handle without
warning. This can cause serious injury, and will void the warranty.
When selecting an option, consider the level of encouragement you may require to complete your tness goal. Be sure to
only perform what you are comfortable doing based on your current tness level and knowledge.
In addition to the motivation provided by the workouts and rep count, the Bowex™ SelectTech™ App will track your
results during a synced exercise. Total weight lifted, total workout time, calories burned, and date of workout are tracked
