Setup: Setting Your TSA Combination Lock
Your Flight Knight luggage set includes an integrated TSA-approved combination lock. The default combination is 0-0-0. Follow these steps to set your personal combination code:
- Ensure the lock is set to the default combination (0-0-0) and the zipper pullers are disengaged.
- Locate the reset button (2) on the side of the lock. Use a pen or a pointed object to press down the reset button until you hear a "click" sound.
- While holding the reset button down, set your desired 3-digit combination by turning the dials (1) to your preferred numbers (e.g., 8-8-8).
- Release the reset button (2) by pushing the button marked (3) towards the direction of the arrow. The reset button should pop up, and you will hear another "click" sound.
- Your new combination is now set. Scramble the dials to lock the zipper pullers into place.
Note: If the cylinder is opened, please pay attention to lock it again by turning it to the red dot position as the arrow goes. Any tool which can be inserted into the cylinder is acceptable for this action.

Operating Your Luggage
Using the Telescopic Handle
The telescopic handle can be adjusted to three different heights for comfortable pulling. To extend, press the button on the handle grip and pull upwards. To retract, press the button and push downwards until fully collapsed.
Maneuvering with Spinner Wheels
Your luggage is equipped with 360-degree spinner wheels, allowing for effortless movement in any direction. For optimal maneuverability, push the suitcase alongside you rather than tilting and pulling it behind you.
Packing Your Suitcase
Utilize the internal features for efficient packing:
- Place heavier items at the bottom, near the wheels, to maintain balance.
- Use the packing ribbons to secure your clothes and prevent shifting during transit.
- The netted packing pocket and interior divider pocket are ideal for organizing smaller items, toiletries, or documents.
Maintenance and Care
To keep your Flight Knight luggage in excellent condition:
- Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the hardshell exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Cleaning the Interior: The interior lining can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Allow to air dry completely before closing.
- Wheel Care: Periodically check the wheels for any debris or hair that might impede their movement. Clean as necessary.
- Zipper Care: Ensure zippers are free from obstructions. If they become stiff, a small amount of zipper lubricant or wax can be applied.
- Storage: Store your luggage in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. For the 3-piece set, the smaller suitcases can be nested inside the larger ones for compact storage.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| TSA Lock not opening/closing | Incorrect combination; reset button not fully released. | Ensure the correct combination is entered. If you forgot the combination, you will need to try all combinations or contact customer support. Re-check that the reset button has fully popped up after setting a new combination. |
| Wheels not spinning smoothly | Debris caught in wheels; worn bearings. | Remove any hair, lint, or debris from around the wheel axles. If wheels are still stiff, a small amount of silicone spray lubricant can be applied to the axle. |
| Telescopic handle stuck | Button not fully pressed; mechanism obstructed. | Ensure the release button is fully depressed when extending or retracting. Check for any items inside the suitcase that might be pressing against the handle mechanism. |
| Zippers are stiff or difficult to move | Dirt or debris in zipper teeth; lack of lubrication. | Clean zipper teeth with a small brush. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant, wax, or even a pencil lead along the teeth to improve glide. |
