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.
It is important to stack the weight plates all the same direction so
they interlock with the name “Ironmaster” facing out.
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 necessary to pull back slightly on the screw in order for
the threads to engage and allow it to turn.
Important Notes:
1. Although the locking system is simple and safe, it is good practice to check the tightness of the
locking screws between sets. The screws may actually lock any where from the 1 o’clock
position to 11 o’clock. This is normal. They will not release the weights unless the arrows are
lined up in the unlocked position.
2. It is normal for the locking screws to protrude out the top of the kettlebell if few plates are used.
3. 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 KB down between
sets. Do not over-tighten the screws. It is not necessary and only makes it more difficult to open
them later.
4. The weight plated must always stack together into the handle with the “Ironmaster” name facing
out.
5. To determine the weight of your Kettlebell, simply count the weight plates and add 25 lbs.
For example: A KB with four 5 lb plates and one 2.5 lb = 20 lbs + 2.5 lbs = 22.5 lbs.
22.5 lbs + 25 lbs = 47.5 lbs total kettlebell weight.
6. Weights listed are design estimates. Actual weights may vary slightly depending on casting
density and other factors.
7. It is a good idea to clean out the internal threads periodically using compressed air, WD-40 type
spray or by pulling a clean rag through. Kettlbell handle and dumbbell weight plates may be
maintained regularly by touching up any paint chipping that will occur during normal use. Any
liquid or spray paint will work well – Satin Black color is best
.
