Care & Maintenance of Rubber Dumbbells

CARE & MAINTENANCE OF IVANKO RUBBER DUMBBELLS.

• Apply SP-80 Cleaner (blue bottle) directly on to rubber. Start on one side of the dumbbell.
• Work into rubber with a rag by wiping down all areas liberally.
• Leave a light coat of cleaner to soak into rubber on one side of the dumbbell. Then go to the other side and begin the same procedures 1 and 2.
• Wipe the first clean side of extra SP-80 Cleaner
• This procedure should be done as normal maintenance, maybe every 30-60 days depending on the size of the club.
• After wiping off all the SP-80 Cleaner, then apply the SP-80 Conditioner  (black label). Follow the same steps 1 thru 4.
• You can purchase SP-80 Cleaner and Conditioner through our website.  It works for all Ivanko rubber products, including plates.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLYING BRASS NO. PLATES TO RUBBER END-PLATES.

• It is important to follow these instructions so that the numbers do not fall off.
• Rough up the recessed area where the numbers go by sanding it with a fine grit sandpaper.
• Clean the area with a little lacquer thinner.
• Remove the backing from the numbers and liberally apply super glue in the recessed area.
• Put a few drops of super glue on the backs of the numbers.
• Press the numbers into the recessed area.
• After the number has set (about 24 hrs.) you can remove the protective shield on the front of the brass plate, which is there to prevent oxidation and scratches.
