Setting Your Combination

Your padlock is factory preset to 0-0-0-0. To set your personal combination, follow these steps:

1. Open the padlock by aligning the factory preset code (0-0-0-0) with the indicator line and pulling up the shackle.
2. With the shackle in the open position, rotate it 90 degrees counter-clockwise until it aligns with the notch on the lock body.
3. Press the shackle down firmly into the lock body. While holding it down, set your desired 4-digit combination by rotating the dials. Ensure the numbers are clearly aligned with the indicator line.
4. Once your new combination is set, pull the shackle up to release it from the pressed-down position.
5. Rotate the shackle back 90 degrees clockwise to its original open position.
6. Close the shackle by pushing it down. Scramble the dials to lock the padlock.

Important: Remember your new combination. There is no master key or override for this lock. If you forget your combination, the lock cannot be opened without knowing the code.

Operating the Padlock

To Open:

1. Align your personal 4-digit combination with the indicator line on the front of the padlock.
2. Pull the shackle upwards to release it from the lock body.

To Close and Secure:

1. Insert the shackle back into the lock body.
2. Scramble the dials to a random set of numbers. This will secure the padlock.

Ensure the shackle is fully seated and the dials are scrambled after closing to prevent accidental opening.

Maintenance

To ensure the smooth operation and longevity of your BRINKS padlock, consider the following maintenance tips:

• Cleaning: Wipe the padlock body and shackle with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and grime. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of graphite lubricant or a silicone-based spray to the shackle mechanism and dials to maintain smooth movement, especially if used in dusty or outdoor environments.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the padlock for any signs of wear or damage. If the shackle or dials become stiff, apply lubricant.

Troubleshooting

Padlock will not open with the correct combination:

• Ensure all four dials are perfectly aligned with the indicator line. Sometimes a dial might be slightly off.
• Verify that you are using the correct combination. If you recently reset it, try the new code.
• Apply a lubricant to the shackle and dials, then try again.

Difficulty setting a new combination:

• Ensure the shackle is rotated exactly 90 degrees counter-clockwise and pressed down firmly into the lock body before attempting to set the new code.
• Make sure the dials are aligned with the indicator line when setting the new combination.

Shackle is stiff or difficult to move:

• Apply a suitable lubricant (e.g., graphite or silicone spray) to the shackle entry points and around the base of the shackle.
• Work the shackle open and closed several times after lubrication to distribute the product.
