Difficult Removal or Installation of the Flex Pack Weight Plates

• Make sure the flex pack weight plate is evenly in place and there is no gap behind the bottom edge of the pack.

White Powder from the Flex Pack Weight Plates

• Reported white powder residue is a natural byproduct resulting from the wear of the weight plate. This is a natural occurrence and not a condition that needs to be addressed.
