1. Removing or replacing the handle and
weights from the nest must be done in a
straight motion. (Image 1)
2.Turning the handle sideways while
lifting may jam the assembly. (Image 2)
Do not use if weights are jammed.
Using while jammed may result in falling
weights and/or injury to you or others
around the weights.
DANGER
3. The weight selector pin contains magnetic
blocks. Make sure the magnetic blocks
contact the round side rails. The selector
pin should be horizontal and fully engaged
securely to the side rail of desired weight.
(Image 3).
Image 1 Image 2
Always check the selector pin to make sure it is
fully inserted and completely engaged before
lifting the dumbbell to avoid injury (Image 3).
If the selector pin disengages from the side
rails, stop use immediately. Place
KettleBlock on nearest at surface and fully
engage selector pin magnetic blocks securely
to the side rails. Failure to maintain full and
correct contact between magnetic blocks in
selector pin and side rails may result in
weights falling and/or injury. Do not use the
KettleBlock without the tether cord being in
good working condition and attached to the
top side rail and selector pin. Weight selector
pin may fall out of KettleBlock if used without
tether cord and may result in falling weights
and/or injury.
WARNING
4. Your KettleBlock features a tether cord which
attaches the selector pin to the weight plates on
the #1 or top most weight plate side rail. The
tether cord will prevent the selector pin from being
misplaced. The tether cord also serves as a safety
retainer for the weight selector pin in the event the
magnetic blocks ever lose contact with the side rails.
