Setup

- Unpack: Carefully remove the dumbbell and its base from the packaging.
- Placement: Place the dumbbell in its base on a flat, stable, and non-slip surface where you intend to use it. Ensure there is enough clear space around you for safe exercise.
- Initial Inspection: Before first use, visually inspect the dumbbell for any shipping damage or loose components. Ensure all weight plates are properly seated in the base.
Operating Instructions
The BRAINGAIN Adjustable Dumbbell features an intuitive twist-and-lock mechanism for quick weight changes.
Adjusting Weight
- Place Dumbbell in Base: Ensure the dumbbell is fully seated in its designated base. The handle should be aligned correctly within the base.
- Twist Handle: While the dumbbell is in the base, grasp the handle firmly. Twist the handle clockwise or counter-clockwise to align the desired weight increment with the indicator mark. The available weight increments are: 2kg, 4kg, 6.5kg, 8.5kg, and 11kg.
- Confirm Selection: You will feel a click as the handle locks into each weight setting. Visually confirm that the selected weight number is clearly displayed and aligned with the indicator.
- Lift Dumbbell: Once the desired weight is selected and locked, carefully lift the dumbbell straight up from the base. Only the selected weight plates will lift with the handle, leaving the unselected plates in the base.
- Return Dumbbell: After your exercise, gently place the dumbbell back into its base, ensuring it is fully seated before attempting to adjust the weight again.
