Setup: Setting Your Combination

Your lock is factory preset to 00000. Follow these steps to set your personal combination:

1. Open the lock by aligning the preset combination (00000) with the indicator marks on the lock body. Pull the shackle (locking pin) out from the lock head.
2. Locate the reset knob/dial on the side of the lock head. It is usually a small, rotatable component.



3. With the lock open, turn the reset knob 90 degrees clockwise (or as indicated by an arrow) until it clicks into position. Some models may require pressing a button instead.
4. Rotate the combination dials to your desired 5-digit code. Ensure the numbers are clearly aligned with the indicator marks.
5. Turn the reset knob back 90 degrees counter-clockwise to its original position. This will set your new combination.
6. Important: Scramble the dials immediately after setting your combination to ensure it is locked. Test your new combination several times before securing your bicycle.

Note: It is highly recommended to write down your combination and store it in a safe place.

Operating Instructions

To Lock:

1. Ensure the lock is open by aligning the correct 5-digit combination and pulling out the shackle.
2. Wrap the chain around your bicycle frame and a secure, immovable object (e.g., a bike rack, lamppost).
3. Insert the shackle back into the lock head.
4. Scramble the combination dials to secure the lock.

To Unlock:

1. Align your personal 5-digit combination with the indicator marks on the lock body.
2. Pull the shackle out from the lock head to open the lock.
3. Remove the chain from your bicycle and the secured object.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the life and functionality of your lock:

• Cleaning: Wipe the lock body and chain with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of graphite lubricant or a silicone-based spray to the combination dials and the shackle mechanism. This helps ensure smooth operation and prevents corrosion.
• Storage: When not in use, store the lock in a dry place to prevent rust and damage.

Troubleshooting

• Difficulty turning dials: Apply a lubricant to the dials. Ensure no dirt or debris is obstructing the mechanism.
• Lock will not open: Double-check that the correct combination is aligned precisely with the indicator marks. Ensure the shackle is not jammed. If you have forgotten your combination, there is no master key or override function; the lock will need to be cut.
• Reset knob is stiff: Ensure the lock is fully open (shackle removed) before attempting to turn the reset knob. Apply a small amount of lubricant if necessary.
