 Dumbbell maintenance

 Equipment must be regularly examined for damage and repairs. The owner is responsible to make sure that regular 

maintenance is done. Worn or damaged components must be replaced immediately or the equipment removed from service 

until the repair is made. Only manufacturer supplied components can be used to maintain and repair the equipment.

 Dumbbell is a very low maintenance product. However, there are steps that you should take to keep 

the product performing and looking its very best.

1.  Should your SelectTech

®

 Dumbbell handle assembly, plates or base become soiled you may clean them with a cloth lightly 

dampened with warm water and a small amount of mild soap. Wipe dry with a separate cloth.

2.  The SelectTech

®

 Dumbbell is internally lubricated and will not require further internal lubrication. The contact between 

weight plates and selection discs is not lubricated but has naturally low friction. This generally will not require any 

lubrication. Should you feel it necessary to lubricate the weight plates and/or selection discs, use only a silicon lubricant, 

preferably “food grade”. 

Do not use any solvents, harsh detergents, chemicals or bleach on this product − doing so may damage the materials, 

resulting in degradation of the product’s performance or strength.

 

 Do not attempt to disassemble the dumbbell handle or base assembly. These items are not designed to be user serviced. 

Doing so will void the manufacturers warranty. Contact your local distributor for service.

Optional exercise bench is available separately.
