Setup

Attaching the Bike Mount

The included bike mount allows for convenient storage and access to your lock while cycling. It can be attached to various parts of your bike frame, such as the seat post or down tube.

1. Select a suitable location on your bike frame for the mount. Ensure it does not interfere with pedaling or other bike components.
2. Use the provided screws to securely fasten the two halves of the mount around the bike frame. Tighten firmly but do not overtighten.
3. The lock can then be easily clicked into and released from the mount using the red quick-release button.

Setting Your Personal Combination

Your Fosmon Bike Lock comes with a default combination of "00000". Follow these steps to set your personalized 5-digit combination:

1. Ensure the lock is set to the default combination "00000" and the cable is disconnected from the lock head.
2. Locate the "RESET" dial on the lock head. Using a small screwdriver or a pointed object, turn the "RESET" dial clockwise by 90 degrees until it clicks into place.
3. With the dial in the reset position, set your desired 5-digit combination by rotating the number wheels. Choose a combination that is easy for you to remember but difficult for others to guess.
4. Once your new combination is set, turn the "RESET" dial counter-clockwise back to its original position. This will lock in your new combination.
5. Test your new combination by scrambling the numbers and then entering your set code to ensure it unlocks.

3. Align the number wheels to your personalized 5-digit combination.

Maintenance

• Keep the lock mechanism clean and free of dirt and debris.
• Periodically lubricate the combination wheels and the locking mechanism with a silicone-based lubricant to ensure smooth operation.
• Store the lock in a dry place when not in use to prevent corrosion.
• Avoid exposing the lock to extreme temperatures for prolonged periods.

Troubleshooting

Lock Not Opening

• Double-check that you are entering the correct 5-digit combination. Ensure each number wheel is precisely aligned with the indicator marks.
• If the wheels are stiff, apply a small amount of lubricant and try again.
• Ensure the cable end is fully inserted into the lock head before attempting to unlock.

Difficulty Setting Combination

• Ensure the lock is set to the current combination (default "00000" or your last set code) before attempting to turn the "RESET" dial.
• Make sure the "RESET" dial is turned fully clockwise to its reset position before setting new numbers.
• Confirm the "RESET" dial is turned fully counter-clockwise back to its original position after setting the new combination.
