ABUS Combiflex Adventure Cable Lock Model 95465 User Manual

1. Introduction

The ABUS Combiflex Adventure Cable Lock Model 95465 is a compact and robust security device designed to prevent casual theft of various personal items. Its retractable steel cable and customizable 3-digit numerical code offer a convenient solution for securing equipment such as skis, pushchairs, e-scooters, helmets, and luggage. This manual provides detailed instructions for setting up, operating, maintaining, and troubleshooting your Combiflex Adventure lock.

2. Product Overview

The ABUS Combiflex Adventure features a durable alloy steel construction with a 4 mm thick, 75 cm long retractable steel cable. It operates with a 3-digit resettable combination, eliminating the need for keys. Its compact design makes it ideal for portability.

3. Setup: Setting Your Combination

Your ABUS Combiflex Adventure lock comes with a factory preset combination, typically 0-0-0. Follow these steps to set your personal 3-digit combination:

1. Ensure the lock is currently set to the correct combination (factory default 0-0-0 or your last set combination).
2. Locate the small reset button or lever on the side or bottom of the lock. This is often a small, recessed button that requires a pen tip or similar pointed object to press.
3. While pressing and holding the reset button/lever, rotate the combination dials to your desired 3-digit code. Choose a memorable but secure combination.
4. Release the reset button/lever. Your new combination is now set.
5. Scramble the dials to lock the device. Test your new combination to ensure it opens the lock correctly before use.

Important: Do not forget your combination. There is no master key or override function to reset the code if forgotten.

4. Operating Instructions

Using your ABUS Combiflex Adventure lock is straightforward:

1. Unlock: Dial your personal 3-digit combination to align with the indicator marks on the lock.
2. Release Cable: Press the cable release button (usually located near where the cable retracts) to extend the steel cable.
3. Secure Item: Wrap the extended cable around the item(s) you wish to secure and a fixed object (e.g., a bike rack, pole, or another part of the item itself).
4. Insert Cable End: Insert the free end of the cable into the locking mechanism on the main body of the lock until it clicks into place.
5. Lock: Scramble the combination dials to a random set of numbers. This secures the cable and prevents unauthorized opening.
6. To Unlock and Retract: Dial your combination, press the cable release button, and the cable will retract into the lock body. Guide the cable gently to prevent tangling.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your ABUS Combiflex Adventure lock, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the lock body and cable with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the cable retraction mechanism and the combination dials to ensure smooth movement. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dirt.
• Storage: Store the lock in a dry environment when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight, which can degrade materials.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the cable for any signs of fraying, cuts, or damage. If the cable is compromised, the security of the lock may be reduced.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your ABUS Combiflex Adventure lock, consider the following:

• Lock will not open: Double-check that the correct 3-digit combination is precisely aligned with the indicator marks. Ensure each dial clicks into place.
• Cable will not retract: Ensure the lock is in the unlocked position (correct combination entered). Check for any obstructions or debris in the cable entry/exit points. Gently pull and release the cable while pressing the release button.
• Difficulty setting new combination: Ensure the lock is set to the current correct combination before attempting to press the reset button. Make sure the reset button is fully depressed while setting the new code and then fully released.
• Stiff dials: Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the dials and rotate them back and forth to distribute the lubricant.
