6. Operating Instructions

Adjusting Dumbbell Racks

The two dumbbell rack layers feature adjustable width settings. To adjust, loosen the bolts securing the rack bars, slide them to one of the four available positions, and then re-tighten the bolts. This allows customization for various dumbbell sizes.

Utilizing Mobility and Stability Features

The rack comes with both lockable wheels and flat feet. Install the wheels if you require frequent movement of the rack. Ensure the wheels are locked when the rack is in its desired position to prevent accidental movement. If the rack will remain stationary or hold weights exceeding 500 lbs, install the flat feet for maximum stability.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe down the rack regularly with a damp cloth to remove dust and sweat. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
• Inspection: Periodically check all bolts and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten any loose hardware.
• Damage: Inspect the steel frame for any signs of bending, cracks, or rust. If significant damage is found, discontinue use and contact customer support.

8. Troubleshooting

• Rack feels wobbly after assembly: Ensure all bolts are fully tightened. If using wheels, confirm they are locked. If the load is heavy, consider switching to flat feet for increased stability.
• Difficulty adjusting dumbbell racks: Loosen the securing bolts sufficiently before attempting to slide the rack bars. Ensure no debris is obstructing the adjustment mechanism.
• Missing parts: Refer to the package contents list and contact STUFFSTASH customer support with your purchase details.
