Operating Instructions
Adjusting Weight
The CAPHAUS Adjustable Dumbbells allow for quick and easy weight adjustments:
- Place the dumbbell on a flat, stable surface.
- Unscrew the star-lock collars from both ends of the dumbbell handle.
- Add or remove weight plates as desired to achieve your target weight.
- Ensure the weight plates are centered and balanced on the handle.
- Firmly screw the star-lock collars back onto the handle ends until they are tight and the plates are secure.
Proper Usage

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your dumbbells:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the handles and plates with a damp cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
- Inspection: Periodically check the star-lock collars for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure the rubber O-rings are intact.
- Storage: Store the dumbbells in a dry environment to prevent rust. Keep them away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Rust Prevention: The high-grade cast iron plates are covered with a black epoxy finish to prevent rust and corrosion. If the finish is scratched, consider applying a rust-inhibiting paint to the affected area.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Weight plates are loose during exercise. | Star-lock collars are not tightened sufficiently. | Ensure star-lock collars are firmly tightened before each set. Check periodically during longer workouts. |
| Difficulty screwing/unscrewing collars. | Threads may be dirty or slightly misaligned. | Clean threads on both the handle and collar. Apply a small amount of lubricant if necessary. Ensure collar is aligned correctly before twisting. |
| Rust appearing on plates or handle. | Exposure to moisture or humidity. Damage to protective coating. | Store in a dry environment. Wipe down after use. For minor rust, clean with a wire brush and apply rust-inhibiting paint. |
