3. Setup

The ABUS Brass Padlock 85/50HB127 is ready for use directly out of the packaging. No assembly is required.

1. Inspect the Padlock: Before first use, visually inspect the padlock and keys for any signs of damage or manufacturing defects.
2. Key Identification: Each padlock comes with two identical keys. Keep one key in a safe, accessible location and the other as a spare.
3. Initial Test: Insert a key into the keyway and turn it to ensure smooth operation of the locking mechanism.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Locking the Padlock

1. Automatic Locking: To lock the padlock without a key, simply push the shackle firmly down into the lock body until it clicks into place. Ensure both ends of the shackle are fully engaged.
2. Key Locking (Optional): While the padlock can be locked automatically, you can also insert the key and turn it to the locking position (usually clockwise) before removing it, ensuring the shackle is fully seated.

4.2. Unlocking the Padlock

1. Insert the key fully into the keyway.
2. Turn the key (usually counter-clockwise) until the shackle springs open.
3. Remove the key. The padlock is now open.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your ABUS padlock.

• Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of non-greasy, non-resin-forming lubricant (e.g., graphite-based or silicone spray) into the keyway and around the shackle mechanism. This helps maintain smooth operation, especially in outdoor or dusty environments. Avoid oil-based lubricants as they can attract dirt.
• Cleaning: Wipe the padlock body and shackle with a clean, dry cloth to remove dirt and debris. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Corrosion Protection: The shackle features Nano Protect technology for enhanced corrosion resistance. However, regular cleaning and occasional lubrication will further protect the internal mechanism from environmental elements.
• Key Care: Avoid bending or damaging the keys. Do not use keys for purposes other than operating the padlock.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your padlock, consider the following common solutions:

• Stiff Key or Shackle: If the key is difficult to turn or the shackle is stiff, apply a suitable lubricant (as described in the Maintenance section) into the keyway and where the shackle enters the body. Work the key and shackle several times to distribute the lubricant.
• Key Not Inserting Fully: Check the keyway for any obstructions. Use compressed air to clear debris if necessary. Ensure you are using the correct key for the padlock.
• Padlock Not Locking: Ensure the shackle is fully pushed down into the lock body. If it still does not lock, check for any foreign objects preventing full engagement.

If problems persist after attempting these steps, contact ABUS customer support or your retailer for further assistance.
