- Locate the small reset button on the bottom side of the lock. Use the included precision screwdriver to push and slide this button to the left.

2. Changing the Cable
The RESET-028 lock allows you to interchange cables of different lengths. Follow these steps to replace the cable:
- Ensure the lock is in an unlocked state (cable can be freely moved). Under normal circumstances, the cable cannot be removed from the lock body.
- Locate the cable release switch on the side of the lock body, marked 'A' and 'B'. Use the precision screwdriver to slide the switch from position 'A' to position 'B'. This will release the currently attached cable.
- Remove the old cable and insert the desired new cable into the opening, pushing it in completely until it seats firmly.
- Slide the cable release switch back from position 'B' to position 'A' to secure the new cable. The cable is now locked in place.

Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the lock body and cables with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the finish or PVC coating.
- Lubrication: If the dials become stiff or difficult to turn, apply a small amount of graphite lubricant or a silicone-based spray to the moving parts. Avoid oil-based lubricants as they can attract dirt.
- Storage: Store the lock in a dry environment when not in use to prevent corrosion, especially if exposed to moisture.
- Cable Inspection: Periodically inspect the steel cables for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage to the PVC coating. Replace damaged cables immediately to maintain security.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cannot set a new combination. | The reset button is not fully engaged, or the current combination is incorrect. | Ensure the lock is set to the correct current combination (default 0-0-0-0 if never changed). Push the reset button firmly and slide it completely to the left before setting the new code. |
| Cable cannot be removed or inserted. | The cable release switch is not in the correct position, or the lock is not unlocked. | Ensure the lock is set to your correct combination and the top release button is pressed. For cable replacement, ensure the side cable release switch is slid to position 'B'. |
| Dials are stiff or difficult to turn. | Dirt or debris accumulation, lack of lubrication. | Clean the dials with a soft cloth. Apply a small amount of graphite powder or silicone spray lubricant to the dials. |
| Forgotten combination. | Combination was not recorded or remembered. | Unfortunately, without the correct combination, the lock cannot be opened non-destructively. It is recommended to keep a record of your combination in a secure place. |
