Dumbbell features an exclusive locking mechanism designed to ensure proper and complete selection of the weight
plates as well as to ensure weight plate retention during the workout.
Fully understand the function of this mechanism and do tests of the mechanism regularly to make sure it operates correctly.
The locking mechanism supplies two key functions:
1. The mechanism will only let the adjustment knobs turn when the dumbbell handle fully engages the dumbbell base. The mechanism
prevents deselecting (dropping) weight plates from the dumbbell when it is NOT in the dumbbell base.
2. The mechanism will lock the dumbbell handle to the base if the adjustment knobs do not fully engage the weight plate selection. The
mechanism prevents partial selection of the weight plates in which the locking pin is not fully engaged and does not fully hold the
plates.
