Setup

Setting the TSA Combination Lock

Your luggage comes with an integrated TSA combination lock. To set your personal combination:

  1. Ensure the lock is set to the factory default code (usually 0-0-0).
  2. Locate the small reset button (often recessed) next to the dials. Use a pen or pointed object to press and hold this button until you hear a click.
  3. While holding the reset button, set your desired 3-digit combination by turning the dials.
  4. Release the reset button. Your new combination is now set. Remember your combination as there is no master key.

Expanding the Luggage

Maintenance

  • Cleaning the Hardshell: Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
  • Zippers: Periodically check zippers for any debris and ensure they operate smoothly. Lubricate with a silicone-based spray if needed.
  • Wheels: Inspect wheels regularly for hair or debris that may hinder smooth rolling. Clean as necessary.
  • Handles: Ensure the telescopic handle extends and retracts without obstruction.

Troubleshooting

  • Stuck Telescopic Handle: Ensure no items inside the luggage are obstructing the handle mechanism. Apply gentle, even pressure when extending or retracting.
  • Sticky Wheels: Check for debris (hair, lint) wrapped around the wheel axles. Clean thoroughly.
  • TSA Lock Issues: If your combination is not working, ensure the dials are perfectly aligned with your set code. If you forget your code, contact Samsonite customer support for assistance.
  • Zipper Malfunction: If a zipper is stuck, try applying a small amount of lubricant (like graphite from a pencil) to the teeth and gently work the slider back and forth.
