Setup
Setting the TSA Combination Lock
Your Samsonite Octolite Spinner 55/20 comes with a pre-set combination of 0-0-0. To set your personal combination:
- Locate the small reset button (A) on the lock, usually a small hole. Use a pen or a pointed object to press and hold this button until you hear a click.
- Rotate the dials (B) to your desired 3-digit combination.
- Push the slider (C) or the main release button in the direction of the arrow. You will hear a click, and the reset button (A) will pop back out. Your new combination is now set.
- Remember your combination. It is recommended to write it down and store it in a safe place.

Maintenance
Cleaning Instructions
To clean the exterior of your polypropylene luggage, wipe it with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the surface. For the interior, vacuum or wipe with a damp cloth as needed.
Storage
Store your luggage in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure it is empty and clean before storing to prevent odors or mildew.
Troubleshooting
- Lock not opening: Ensure you are using the correct 3-digit combination. If you forgot your combination, contact Samsonite customer service for assistance. Do not force the lock.
- Wheels sticking: Clean any debris (hair, lint, dirt) from around the wheel axles. If wheels remain stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied, avoiding oil-based products.
- Telescopic handle not extending/retracting smoothly: Check for any obstructions in the handle mechanism. Ensure the release button is fully pressed. Avoid forcing the handle.
- Zippers catching: Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or wax if needed.
