Ironmaster Mace Handle Quick reference guide
Assembly & Operating Instructions
Quick-Lock Mace Handle
Congratulations on your purchase of this fine Ironmaster product. Be sure to read and understand the
operating instructions to achieve the best performance and avoid injury.
Description: The Ironmaster QUICK-
LOCK MACE HANDLE is designed to
use the weight plates from the Ironmaster
Quick-Lock Dumbbell System for a wide
variety of end weighted exercises. Be
sure to get some instruction for safe and
effective mace training. The empty MACE
HANDLE weighs 6.5 lbs. With the stand-
ard length locking screw you can load up
to 32.5 lbs of plates.
Note: For most exercises a much lower
weight is more than adequate so start
light and work your way up.
Weight Change: The procedure to change weights is the same as with our Quick-Lock Dumbbells. To open, simply tilt
over the mace handle so the arrow is on the top and keep it level sideways. Loosen the locking screw (4” diameter disc
with knurled grip and 1” diameter partially threaded shaft) by turning the disc counterclockwise until the “OPEN” arrow
points up toward the arrow indicator (notch) on the handle at the 12 o'clock position.
This is the open position where you can pull the locking screw directly out of the handle. After you remove the locking
screw the weight plates can then be added or removed to the desired weight. Use any combination of 5 lb and 2.5 lb
plates or the 22.5 lb plate. The weight plates are formed so they stack into each other and into the handle. NOTE: The
IRONMASTER logo on the weight plates must point outward for the locking mechanism to function properly.
Reinsert the locking screw back into the handle with the arrow pointing up in line with the handle arrow. Push the screw
all the way in so the weight plates stack tightly and then clockwise (to the right) to engage the threads. Be sure to make
the screws hand tight and check the arrow indicators so they are turned to the right “lock”. Note: It is sometimes neces-
sary to pull back slightly on the screw in order for the threads to engage and allow it to turn.
The Quick-Lock Micro plates work very well on this handle and provide smaller increments. Use the same
procedures above for loading.
Important Notes:
1. Although the locking system is simple and safe, it is good practice to check the tightness of the locking screws be-
tween sets. The screws may actually lock any where from the 2 o’clock position to 10 o’clock. This is normal. They will
not release the weights unless the arrows are lined up in the unlocked position.
2. Be sure to stop and check the screw tightness if you feel or hear any looseness in the mechanism. Be sure to re-
check the locking screw tightness after setting the mace down between sets. Do not overtighten the screw. It is not
necessary and only makes it more difficult to open them later.
3. The weight plates must always stack together into the handle with the “Ironmaster” name facing out.
4. To determine the weight of your mace, simply count the weight plates and add 9 lbs.
For example: A handle with two 5 lb plates and one 2.5 lb is 10 lbs + 2.5 lbs = 12.5 lbs.
12.5 lbs + 9 lbs = 21.5 lbs total weight.
Note: The Ironmaster QUICK-LOCK MACE
HANDLE may only be used with the Iron-
master Quick lock Dumbbell handle locking
screw and Quick Lock weight plates (sold
separately).

Maintenance:
1. For smooth and safe operation it is recommended to clean out the internal threads periodically. WD-40 type spray
lubricant to flush out the handle threads and/or compressed air works well.
2. The weight plates will get scratched over time with use. They may be maintained by touching up any paint chipping
that will occur during normal use. Any liquid or spray paint will work well – Satin Black or Textured Black color is best.
3. Rust or corrosion may appear on the chrome parts over time and use due to sweat residue or high humidity envi-
ronments. It is recommended to clean off the handle after use with a household cleaner. If rust spots develop chrome
polish or use a small brass brush with WD-40. Toothpaste and toothbrush also works well. Keep away from moisture
and increase frequency of cleaning regimen if product is used/stored in high humidity environment.
