Kryptonite 912 Plug-in Chain Instruction Manual

1. Introduction

The Kryptonite 912 Plug-in Chain is designed to enhance the security of your bicycle when used in conjunction with a compatible Kryptonite ring lock. This chain provides an additional layer of protection against theft by allowing you to secure your bicycle to a fixed object.

2. Safety Information

• Always ensure the chain is properly engaged with the ring lock and secured around a stable, immovable object.
• Do not leave the chain or lock in a position where it could interfere with bicycle operation or cause injury.
• Keep hands and fingers clear of the plug-in mechanism during insertion and removal to prevent pinching.
• Regularly inspect the chain and plug for signs of wear or damage. Discontinue use if damage is observed.

3. Package Contents

• 1 x Kryptonite 912 Plug-in Chain (120cm length, 9mm steel chain links)

Note: A compatible Kryptonite ring lock is required and sold separately.

4. Compatibility

The Kryptonite 912 Plug-in Chain is designed for use with retractable or non-retractable Kryptonite ring locks. Ensure your ring lock has a compatible plug-in port for this chain.

5. Setup and Installation

1. Prepare your bicycle: Ensure your bicycle is equipped with a compatible Kryptonite ring lock.
2. Position the chain: Wrap the chain around a secure, immovable object (e.g., a bike rack, lamppost).
3. Insert the plug: Locate the plug-in port on your Kryptonite ring lock. Insert the plug end of the 912 chain firmly into this port until it clicks into place.
4. Verify engagement: Gently pull on the chain to ensure it is securely locked into the ring lock. The ring lock's mechanism will secure the plug, preventing removal.

6. Operating Instructions

Once the chain is installed as described in Section 5, your bicycle is secured. To unlock and remove the chain:

1. Unlock the ring lock: Use the key for your Kryptonite ring lock to disengage its locking mechanism.
2. Remove the plug: Once the ring lock is unlocked, the plug-in chain can be withdrawn from the port.
3. Store the chain: After use, you can wrap the chain around your bicycle frame or carry it as appropriate.

Cinch Loop Feature

The 912 Plug-in Chain includes a cinch loop. This feature allows you to extend the effective locking length by passing one end of the chain through the loop, creating a tighter lock around an object or your bicycle frame before plugging into the ring lock.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the chain and plug with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of bicycle-specific lubricant to the plug mechanism of the chain and the ring lock's internal components to ensure smooth operation.
• Inspection: Regularly check the chain links, protective nylon sleeve, and the plug for any signs of wear, cuts, or damage.

8. Troubleshooting

• Chain difficult to insert/remove: Ensure the ring lock is fully unlocked. Check for any debris in the plug-in port or on the chain's plug. Apply lubricant if necessary.
• Chain appears damaged: If the chain links are bent, cut, or the nylon sleeve is severely torn, the security of the lock may be compromised. Consider replacing the product.
