Operating Instructions
Once the Dip Handle is securely installed, it can be used for various exercises.
- Dips: Stand between the handles, grip them firmly, and lift your feet off the ground. Lower your body by bending your elbows until your shoulders are below your elbows, then push back up to the starting position.
- Leg Raises: Face away from the handles, grip them, and hang with your legs extended. Raise your legs towards your chest, keeping them straight or slightly bent, then slowly lower them.
- Assisted Exercises: The Dip Handle can also be used for assisted exercises with resistance bands or other aids, depending on your fitness level.
Always ensure proper form and control during exercises. Consult a fitness professional for guidance on exercise techniques.

Maintenance
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the Dip Handle with a damp cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner if necessary.

- Tighten Fasteners: Ensure all bolts and fasteners are tight. Do not overtighten.
- Storage: If removing the Dip Handle for storage, keep it in a dry, clean place away from extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
- Handle Wobbles: If the Dip Handle feels unstable, ensure it is fully inserted into the Smith Machine's uprights and any locking pins or mechanisms are engaged. Check for any obstructions in the mounting holes.
- Difficulty Inserting: If the handle is difficult to insert, ensure the mounting holes are clear of debris. Do not force the handle; verify compatibility with your specific Smith Machine model.
- Unusual Noises: If you hear any unusual noises during use, immediately stop exercising and inspect the Dip Handle and Smith Machine for loose parts or damage.
