4. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your Zarker XB35 padlock, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the padlock regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and grime. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish and internal mechanisms of the lock.
• Lubrication (Optional): If the shackle or buttons become stiff over time, a small amount of graphite powder or a silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the moving parts. Avoid oil-based lubricants as they can attract dirt.
