Setup

Setting the TSA Combination Lock

Your Merax luggage is equipped with a TSA-approved 3-dial combination lock. The initial factory setting is 0-0-0. Follow these steps to set your personal combination:

1. Ensure the lock is set to the original combination (0-0-0).
2. Locate the reset button (a small pinhole) usually on the side of the lock. Use a pen or a pointed object to press and hold this button until you hear a click.
3. While holding the reset button, set your desired 3-digit combination by turning the dials.
4. Release the reset button. Your new combination is now set. Remember your combination, as there is no master key to reset it if forgotten.

Operating Your Luggage

Using the Telescopic Handle

To extend the telescopic handle, press the button located on top of the handle and pull upwards. Release the button at your desired height. To retract, press the button and push the handle down until it is fully stowed. Ensure the handle is fully retracted when checking luggage or storing.

Maneuvering with Spinner Wheels

Your luggage features 360-degree spinner wheels for easy movement. You can push, pull, or roll the suitcase alongside you. For best results, keep the luggage upright and allow the wheels to glide smoothly over surfaces.

Packing and Organization

Utilize the internal compression straps to secure your belongings and prevent shifting during transit. The zippered divider and mesh pockets help separate items and keep smaller accessories organized. For the 28-inch checked bag, unzip the expansion zipper to gain additional packing capacity when needed.

Maintenance

• Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the ABS hardshell with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
• Wheel Care: Periodically check the spinner wheels for debris. Clean them with a damp cloth. If wheels become stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the axle.
• Zipper Maintenance: Keep zippers free of dirt and debris. If a zipper becomes difficult to operate, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or wax.
• Storage: When not in use, store the luggage in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The 20-inch carry-on can be nested inside the 28-inch checked bag for compact storage.

Troubleshooting

• Lock Not Opening: Ensure you are using the correct 3-digit combination. If you forgot your combination, refer to the "Setting the TSA Combination Lock" section to reset it.
• Stuck Telescopic Handle: Check for any obstructions in the handle mechanism. Ensure the release button is fully pressed when extending or retracting.
• Wheels Not Rolling Smoothly: Inspect wheels for tangled hair, lint, or debris. Clean as described in the Maintenance section. If damage is visible, contact customer support.
• Zipper Malfunction: Avoid overpacking, which can strain zippers. If a zipper separates, try to realign the teeth by moving the slider back and forth.
