3. Setup: Setting Your Combination
Your padlock is factory set to 0-0-0-0-0. Follow these steps to set your personal combination:
- Open the Padlock: Dial the factory default combination (0-0-0-0-0) and pull up the shackle to open the padlock.
- Rotate the Shackle: With the padlock open, rotate the shackle 90 degrees counter-clockwise from its locked position.
- Press Down the Shackle: While holding the shackle rotated, press it firmly down into the padlock body.
- Set Your New Combination: With the shackle pressed down, rotate the combination dials to your desired 5-digit code. Choose a memorable but secure combination.
- Release the Shackle: Pull the shackle up to release it from the pressed-down position.
- Return the Shackle: Rotate the shackle back 90 degrees clockwise to its original open position.
- Test the Combination: Close the shackle and scramble the numbers. Then, dial your new combination to ensure it opens correctly.

4. Operating the Padlock
4.1. Unlocking
- Align the combination dials to your personal 5-digit code.
- Pull the shackle upwards to open the padlock.
4.2. Locking
- Close the shackle by pressing it down into the padlock body until it clicks securely.
- Scramble the combination dials to prevent unauthorized access.
5. Maintenance
To ensure the smooth operation and longevity of your ABUS padlock, consider the following maintenance tips:
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the padlock body and shackle with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Lubrication: If the dials become stiff or the shackle mechanism feels rough, apply a small amount of graphite powder or a silicone-based lubricant specifically designed for locks into the shackle opening and around the dials. Avoid oil-based lubricants as they can attract dirt.
- Environmental Exposure: While weather-resistant, prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions (e.g., saltwater, heavy industrial environments) may accelerate wear. Regular inspection and cleaning are recommended in such conditions.
6. Troubleshooting
- Padlock will not open with the correct combination:
- Ensure each number is precisely aligned with the indicator marks.
- Verify that you are using the correct combination. If you recently changed it, try the old combination as well, in case the change was not fully registered.
- Check for any debris or foreign objects obstructing the shackle mechanism or dials.
- Dials are stiff or difficult to turn:
- Apply a small amount of graphite powder or silicone-based lubricant to the dials as described in the Maintenance section.
- Ensure the padlock is clean and free of accumulated dirt.
- Shackle is stuck or difficult to close:
- Ensure the combination is scrambled before attempting to close the shackle.
- Check for any physical damage or obstruction preventing the shackle from fully engaging.
