4. Setup and Installation
The ABUS 5755L R Frame Lock is designed for easy mounting on most bicycle frames. Ensure your bicycle frame has appropriate mounting points (usually near the rear wheel). If not, universal mounting straps may be required (sold separately).
- Positioning: Place the frame lock on the rear stays of your bicycle frame, ensuring it does not interfere with the wheel, brakes, or other components. The shackle should align with the spokes when locked.
- Mounting: Secure the lock to the frame using the provided screws and mounting plates. Tighten the screws firmly but do not overtighten to avoid damaging the frame.
- Test Fit: Before final tightening, ensure the lock can be operated smoothly and the shackle clears the wheel when locked.

5. Operating Instructions
The ABUS 5755L R XPlus Frame Lock features a user-friendly design for quick and secure locking.
- Locking: Insert the key into the lock cylinder. Push the locking lever or mechanism until the shackle closes around the wheel spoke. Remove the key. The lock is now engaged. This model features a key-retaining mechanism, meaning the key remains in the lock when it is unlocked, and can only be removed once the lock is engaged.
- Unlocking: Insert the key into the lock cylinder and turn it. The shackle will open, allowing the wheel to rotate freely.
- Accessory Connection: The lock housing includes a mechanism for connecting compatible ABUS accessories, such as adapter chains or cables. Consult the accessory's manual for specific connection instructions.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and smooth operation of your ABUS frame lock.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the lock body and shackle with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Lubrication: Apply a small amount of lock lubricant (e.g., graphite-based or silicone-free spray) into the keyhole and moving parts once or twice a year, or if the lock feels stiff. Do not use oil or grease, as these can attract dirt.
- Key Care: Keep your keys clean and free from debris. Avoid using bent or damaged keys, as this can damage the lock cylinder.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your ABUS frame lock, try the following solutions:
- Lock is stiff or difficult to operate: Apply lock lubricant as described in the maintenance section. Ensure the key is fully inserted and not bent.
- Key does not turn: Check for debris in the keyhole. Ensure you are using the correct key. Do not force the key.
- Lock does not engage fully: Verify that the shackle path is clear of obstructions (e.g., spokes, mudguards).
- Lost keys: Contact ABUS customer support or a certified locksmith. The XPlus key system allows for key replacement if the key code is available.
