4. Setup and IC Core Installation
This padlock requires a compatible Interchangeable Core (IC Core) for operation. Follow these steps to install the IC Core:
- Acquire IC Core: Obtain a Corbin Russwin compatible IC Core and its operating key.
- Prepare Padlock: Ensure the padlock body is clean and free of debris.
- Insert IC Core: With the operating key inserted into the IC Core, align the core with the keyway in the padlock body. Gently push the core into the padlock until it clicks securely into place.
- Test Operation: Insert the operating key and turn it to ensure the shackle opens and closes smoothly. Remove the key.
5. Operating Instructions
Once the IC Core is installed, operate the padlock as follows:
- To Unlock: Insert the operating key fully into the IC Core. Turn the key clockwise (or counter-clockwise, depending on core type) until the shackle releases. Pull the shackle open.
- To Lock: Close the shackle by pushing it down into the padlock body until it clicks. Insert the operating key and turn it to the locked position. Remove the key.
- Ensure Security: Always ensure the shackle is fully engaged and the key is removed after locking.
6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the padlock body and shackle with a clean, dry cloth periodically to remove dirt and grime. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Lubrication: Apply a small amount of graphite-based lubricant or a silicone-based spray specifically designed for locks into the keyway of the IC Core once or twice a year, or if operation becomes stiff. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dirt.
- Inspection: Regularly check the shackle and padlock body for any signs of corrosion, bending, or other damage.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Key is stiff or difficult to turn. | Dirt or debris in keyway; lack of lubrication. | Apply lock lubricant to the keyway. Clean the key. |
