2. Setup Instructions
Setting the TSA Combination Lock
Your Merax luggage is equipped with a TSA-approved combination lock. The initial password is set to 0-0-0. Follow these steps to set your personal combination:
- Ensure the lock is set to the initial combination (0-0-0).
- Locate the small reset button (usually a small hole) on the side of the lock. Use a pen or a pointed object to press and hold this button.
- While holding the reset button, rotate the three number dials to your desired 3-digit code.
- Release the reset button. Your new combination is now set. Remember your combination, as there is no master key to reset it if forgotten.

The luggage features a 3-step telescoping handle for comfortable maneuvering. To adjust the handle height, press the button located on the top of the handle and extend or retract it to your preferred position. Release the button to lock it in place.

Spinner Wheels
Each suitcase is equipped with multi-directional silent spinner wheels that rotate 360 degrees. This allows for effortless movement in any direction, reducing strain during travel.

Capacity Expansion (24" and 28" Luggage)
The 24-inch and 28-inch suitcases feature an expandable design, offering approximately 25% more packing space when needed. To expand, simply unzip the expansion zipper located around the perimeter of the suitcase. The 16-inch and 20-inch carry-on luggage are not expandable to comply with common carry-on size limits.

4. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Merax luggage, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the hard-shell exterior with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
- 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 spinner wheels for any debris or hair that might impede their movement. Clean as necessary.
- Zipper Care: Keep zippers free from dirt and debris. If a zipper becomes stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or wax.
- Storage: Store your luggage in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. The suitcases are designed to nest within each other for compact storage.
5. Troubleshooting
TSA Lock Issues
- Lock Not Opening: Ensure the dials are set to your correct 3-digit combination. If you have forgotten your combination, there is no universal reset code. You may need to try combinations or contact a locksmith.
- Difficulty Setting New Combination: Make sure the reset button is fully pressed in before rotating the dials. Release the button only after your new code is set.
Handle Issues
- Handle Sticking: Check for any obstructions in the handle mechanism. Ensure the release button is fully depressed when extending or retracting.
Wheel Issues
- Wheels Not Rolling Smoothly: Inspect wheels for trapped debris (e.g., hair, lint). Clean them thoroughly. If a wheel is damaged, contact customer support for potential replacement parts or service.
