Operating Instructions

Packing the Main Compartment

The main compartment is designed for efficient packing with several organizational features:

• WetPak Pouch: A dedicated WetPak pouch is included for storing liquids or damp items separately.

Utilizing the Front Pocket

The Octiv Pro features a convenient front pocket for easy access to electronics and documents:

• The padded fabric front pocket includes a dedicated protective sleeve suitable for a laptop or tablet up to 16 inches.
• Additional organized compartments within the front pocket are ideal for smaller essentials like chargers, pens, or travel documents.

Expanding the Luggage Capacity

For additional packing space, your carry-on features an expansion zipper:

• Locate the secondary zipper around the perimeter of the main compartment.
• Unzip this zipper to expand the luggage, adding up to 1.5 inches of extra packing depth.

Maneuvering with Aero Trac Spinner Wheels

The luggage is equipped with patented 360-degree Aero Trac Suspension Technology spinner wheels for smooth and stable movement:

• The dual spinner wheels absorb shocks and bumps, ensuring effortless rolling in any direction.
• Each wheel rotates independently, allowing for easy control and even weight distribution.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Hardshell Exterior

The polycarbonate hardshell exterior features a scratch-resistant coating. To clean:

• Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the finish.
• Dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.

Wheel Care

To maintain smooth operation of the spinner wheels:

• Periodically check for any debris (hair, lint, etc.) that may be caught in the wheel axles.
• Clean the wheels with a damp cloth. Do not use lubricants or oils, as they can attract more dirt.

Troubleshooting

TSA Lock Not Opening

Telescopic Handle Sticking

Wheels Not Rolling Smoothly
