Operating the Lock

Using your AXA Fold Ultra 900 lock is straightforward. Follow these steps to secure and unlock your bicycle:

1. Unfolding the Lock: Remove the lock from its holder. Gently unfold the segments of the lock to extend its length. The segments are designed to articulate smoothly.
2. Securing Your Bicycle: Wrap the extended lock around your bicycle frame (and ideally a wheel) and a fixed object such as a lamppost, bike rack, or sturdy railing. Ensure the object is immovable and cannot be easily cut or dismantled.
3. Engaging the Lock: Insert the locking bar into the lock body until it clicks securely. Turn the key to the locked position and remove it. Always remove the key to prevent accidental unlocking or theft.
4. Unlocking Your Bicycle: Insert the key into the lock cylinder and turn it to the unlocked position. The locking bar will release.
5. Folding and Storing: Once unlocked, retract the locking bar and fold the segments of the lock back into its compact shape. Place it back into the universal click holder on your bicycle frame for transport.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the smooth operation and longevity of your AXA Fold Ultra 900 lock:

• Lubrication: Periodically lubricate the lock cylinder and the joints of the folding mechanism with a non-greasy lock spray or a light oil. This helps prevent corrosion and ensures smooth operation, especially in wet or dusty conditions.
• Cleaning: Wipe down the lock body and segments with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the protective coating.
• Key Care: Keep your keys clean and free from debris. Avoid forcing the key if it feels stiff; apply a small amount of lock lubricant to the cylinder.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the lock in a dry environment to prevent rust and corrosion.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your AXA Fold Ultra 900 lock, consider the following common solutions:

• Key is Stiff or Won't Turn:
  • Ensure the key is fully inserted into the cylinder.
  • Apply a small amount of lock lubricant into the keyhole and try again.
  • Check if the key is bent or damaged. Use a spare key if available.
• Lock Segments are Stiff:
  • Lubricate the joints of the folding mechanism with a suitable spray or oil.
  • Clean any accumulated dirt or debris from the joints.
• Lock Won't Engage/Disengage:
  • Ensure the locking bar is properly aligned with the lock body.
  • Check for any obstructions preventing the mechanism from fully engaging.
