1. Setup

1.1 Unpacking

• Remove the luggage from its packaging.
• Inspect the suitcase for any signs of damage incurred during shipping. If damage is found, contact customer support immediately.
• Remove any protective films or tags.

1.2 Setting the TSA Combination Lock

Your BAGSMART luggage is equipped with a TSA-approved combination lock. The initial combination is set to 0-0-0.

1. Unlock the lock: Ensure the dials are set to the preset combination (0-0-0) and press button (c) to open the lock.
2. Push the reset button: Locate the small reset button (a) on the side of the lock. Use a pen or paperclip to push and hold this button until you hear a click.
3. Select a new combination: While holding the reset button, turn the dials (b) to your desired three-digit combination.
4. Snap the padlock: Release the reset button. Turn the TSA knob in the direction of the arrow on the padlock window to confirm the new combination.

Important: Remember your new combination. There is no master key for personal combinations. Only TSA agents have a master key to open the lock for inspection without damaging it.

• To expand: Locate the expansion zipper running along the perimeter of the suitcase. Unzip this zipper to increase the depth of the main compartment.
• To compress: Zip the expansion zipper closed to return the suitcase to its standard dimensions.

3. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps preserve the appearance and functionality of your luggage.

3.1 Cleaning the Exterior

• Wipe the hard shell exterior with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the polycarbonate surface.
• For stubborn marks, a gentle plastic cleaner may be used.

3.2 Wheel Care

• Periodically check the wheels for debris (hair, string, etc.) and remove them carefully.
• If wheels become stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the axle. Avoid oil-based lubricants.

3.3 Zipper Maintenance

• Keep zippers clean and free of dirt.
• If zippers become difficult to operate, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or wax.
• Avoid forcing zippers, especially when the luggage is overpacked.
