Setup: Setting Your Combination

Your lock is preset to open at 0-0-0. To set your personal combination, follow these steps:

1. Ensure the lock is open and the dials are set to the factory default combination of 0-0-0. Align these numbers precisely with the indication line on the front of the lock.

2. With the lock open, turn the shackle (the U-shaped metal part) 90 degrees clockwise from its locked position. There is a small notch on the lock body; align the shackle with this notch.

3. Press the shackle down firmly into the lock body, ensuring it is fully depressed.

4. While holding the shackle down, rotate the dials to set your desired 3-digit combination. Choose a memorable number that is not easily guessed.

5. Release the shackle. Then, turn the shackle back 180 degrees to its original position. Your new combination is now set.

Important: Remember your new combination. There is no master key or reset button if you forget it, other than trying all 1000 combinations.

Maintenance

• Keep the lock clean and free from dirt or debris, especially around the dials and shackle mechanism.
• Avoid exposing the lock to extreme temperatures or harsh chemicals, which could affect its functionality or finish.
• If the dials become stiff, a small amount of graphite lubricant can be applied, but avoid oil-based lubricants.

Troubleshooting

Lock will not open with the correct combination:

• Ensure each number is precisely aligned with the indication line. Sometimes a slight misalignment can prevent opening.
• Verify that you are using the correct combination. If you recently changed it, try both the old and new combinations.

Cannot set a new combination:

• Make sure the lock is set to its current opening combination (factory default 0-0-0 or your last set combination).
• Ensure the shackle is turned 90 degrees and pressed down completely while setting the new code.
