INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Please read the instructions before using the PowerFlow Adjustable Dumbbells. Keep this manual for reference.
USING YOUR POWER FLOW DUMBBELLS

1.  Place each dumbbell into its carrying rack, ensuring correct placement by pushing down on the handles to ensure both are completely seated in the rack.
2.  Adjust the black adjustment slider by pulling it up and sliding it towards the center of the dumbbell. When the slider is on the lowest weight setting, 2.5 pounds, push it down to lock it into place.
3.  Hold the dumbbell by the center handle, and pull up firmly to remove it from the rack. Some weight plates will be left in the rack.
4.  Repeat steps 1–3 for the second dumbbell, if desired.
5.  Perform desired strength training exercise(s).
6.  To adjust weight level, replace the dumbbell in the rack and move the black adjustment slider to your desired weight setting, from 2.5–12.5 pounds, in 2.5-pound increments.
7.  When your workout is complete, return the dumbbells to their racks.
8.  Return the black weight adjustment sliders to the lightest settings, 2.5 pounds, to avoid future injury.

TIPS FOR USING YOUR DUMBBELLS

EXERCISE TIPS

• We recommend beginning with the lowest weight, 2.5 pounds.
• Increase the amount you lift slowly over a few weeks.
• Use the PowerFlow dumbbells every other day to allow your muscles sufficient time to recover from your workout.
• Always warm-up before beginning a workout. It is especially important to warm up the specific muscle groups you will be working during your strength training session.
• Use proper form. Focus on only working the muscle groups intended for the exercise you are performing. If there is strain elsewhere, you may need to re-evaluate the amount of weight that is involved with the lift. Keeping proper form also includes maintaining control through the entire range of motion.
• Breathe properly. Exhale as you are lifting, inhale as you return to the starting position. Never hold your breath during any part of an exercise.
• Always wear appropriate clothing and shoes when exercising. Wearing comfortable athletic shoes with good support and loose fitting, breathable clothing will reduce the risk of injury.

SAFETY TIPS

• Before lifting a dumbbell, always ensure the weight is set to the desired weight load.
• Exercise sensibly, and do not overload, especially on your initial workouts.
• Always ensure that you use the same weight settings on both sides of the dumbbell.
• Only adjust the weight of the dumbbell when it is in the rack. Never adjust the weight while the dumbbell is in use.
• Do not force the black weight adjustment sliders to move.
• Always return the weights to the lightest settings after each workout to avoid future injury.
• You may wish to place the rack and PowerFlow dumbbells on a sturdy table or shelf instead of on the ground to avoid repetitive bending.
• You may wish to wear weight lifting gloves to prevent hand chafing, blistering, and callouses.
