Setup

Setting the TSA Combination Lock

Your luggage is equipped with a TSA-approved 3-dial combination lock. The default combination is 0-0-0.

1. Locate the lock on the side of your luggage. The default combination is set to 0-0-0.
2. With the lock set to 0-0-0, push the reset button (a small, recessed button, usually requiring a pen or pointed object) until you hear a click.
3. Set your desired 3-digit combination by turning the dials. Choose a memorable combination.
4. Push the tab or lever (usually located next to the dials) in the direction of the arrow until you hear a click. This sets your new combination.
5. Test your new combination by scrambling the dials and then entering your chosen code to open the lock.

Note: The TSA keyhole is for airport security personnel only. Do not attempt to use a key in this slot.

2. Press and hold the button while pulling the handle upwards to extend it to your desired height.

Operation

Using the Spinner Wheels

Your Samsonite Freeform luggage features dual 360-degree spinner wheels for effortless mobility in any direction.

• For smooth surfaces, push the luggage upright on all four wheels. This allows for easy gliding and reduces strain on your arm.
• For rougher terrain or when navigating tight spaces, tilt the luggage and pull it on two wheels.

Packing and Organization

The interior of your Freeform luggage is designed for efficient packing and organization.

• Utilize the elastic cross ribbons to secure your packed items and prevent shifting during transit.
• The full divider panel, often with a zippered pocket, helps separate contents and provides additional storage for smaller items.
• Use the zippered interior pouch for toiletries, accessories, or other small essentials.

Expanding Storage Capacity

Your luggage features an expansion zipper to provide additional packing space when needed.

• Locate the secondary zipper running along the perimeter of the luggage.
• Unzip this zipper to expand the luggage's depth, increasing its internal volume.
• Zip it back up to return the luggage to its original dimensions.

Maintenance

Cleaning Instructions

• Exterior: Wipe the hardshell exterior with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
• Interior: Spot clean the interior lining with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Allow to air dry completely before closing the luggage.

Wheel Maintenance

• Regularly check the spinner wheels for any debris (hair, lint, etc.) that may hinder their smooth operation.
• Clean the wheel axles with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid using lubricants unless specifically recommended by Samsonite, as some products can attract more dirt.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

• Stuck Wheels: If a wheel is not spinning freely, check for trapped debris and carefully remove it. Ensure the wheel is not bent or damaged.
• Combination Lock Reset: If you forget your combination, unfortunately, there is no master reset code for user-set combinations. You may need to contact Samsonite customer support or a locksmith.
• Zipper Malfunction: If a zipper is difficult to move, try rubbing a pencil lead or a small amount of wax along the teeth to lubricate it. Avoid forcing the zipper.
• Handle Not Extending/Retracting: Ensure the push-button is fully depressed and there is no obstruction in the handle mechanism. Avoid applying excessive force.
