Care and Maintenance

Cleaning the Hardshell Exterior

To clean the durable polypropylene hardshell, wipe the surface with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish. For stubborn marks, a gentle plastic cleaner may be used.

Wheel Maintenance

Regularly check the spinner wheels for any debris or hair that may impede their smooth operation. Clean the wheel axles with a damp cloth. If wheels become stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the axle points.

Interior Care

The interior lining can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Allow the interior to air dry completely before closing the luggage to prevent mildew. Do not machine wash or tumble dry the interior lining.

Troubleshooting

Lock Malfunction

If your TSA combination lock is not opening or you forget your code, refer to the "Setting the TSA Combination Lock" section for instructions on resetting the code. Remember, the keyhole is for TSA agents only, and no key is provided.

Stuck Handle or Wheels

If the telescopic handle becomes stiff or stuck, ensure no clothing or items are obstructing its mechanism. For wheels, check for any debris (like hair or lint) caught in the axles. Clean as per the maintenance instructions. Avoid forcing the handle or wheels, as this may cause damage.
