Setup and First Use
Setting the TSA Combination Lock
Your Samsonite Base Boost Spinner is equipped with an integrated TSA combination lock. Follow these steps to set your personal combination:
- The lock is preset to 0-0-0 at the factory.
- Locate the small reset button (usually recessed) next to the dials. Use a pen or a pointed object to press and hold this button.
- While holding the reset button, set your desired 3-digit combination by turning the dials.
- Release the reset button. Your new combination is now set.
- Test your new combination by scrambling the dials and then entering your combination to open the lock.
Important: Remember your combination. There is no master key provided for personal use. Only TSA agents have a special key to open the lock for inspection.
Extending the Telescopic Handle
To extend the telescopic handle, press the button located on the top of the handle grip and pull upwards. Release the button at the desired height. To retract, press the button and push the handle downwards until it is fully nested.
Operating Instructions
Packing Your Luggage
- Main Compartment: Utilize the elastic cross-straps to secure your clothing and prevent shifting during transit.
- Lid Compartment: The zippered mesh divider in the lid is ideal for organizing smaller items, toiletries, or documents.
- Front Pocket: The maximized front pocket is perfect for items you need to access quickly, such as travel documents, books, or small electronics.
Using the Expandable Feature
If you require additional packing space, locate the expansion zipper running along the perimeter of the suitcase. Unzip this zipper to expand the main compartment's depth, providing extra volume for your belongings.
Maneuvering with Spinner Wheels
The four multi-directional spinner wheels allow you to push, pull, or roll the suitcase alongside you with minimal effort. For optimal maneuverability, keep the suitcase upright and guide it using the telescopic handle.
Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the exterior fabric with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Zippers: Keep zippers free from debris. If they become stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or wax.
- Wheels: Periodically check the wheels for any tangled hair or debris and remove them to ensure smooth rolling.
- Storage: Store your luggage in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
