Product Overview

The AXA Fold Lite C100 is a compact and flexible folding lock. It consists of hardened steel links with a soft coating to protect your bicycle's frame. The lock features a 4-digit adjustable combination mechanism and comes with a convenient mounting bracket.

Setup

Setting Your Personal Combination Code

The AXA Fold Lite C100 comes with a factory default code (usually 0000). To set your personal 4-digit combination:

1. Align the dials to the current opening code (factory default is 0000).
2. Open the lock by pulling the locking mechanism apart.
3. Locate the reset button or lever on the side or back of the lock head.
4. Using a small pointed object (like a pen tip), press and hold the reset button/lever.
5. While holding the reset button/lever, set your desired 4-digit combination by rotating the dials.
6. Release the reset button/lever. Your new code is now set.
7. Important: Scramble the dials immediately after setting the code to ensure it is locked. Test your new code to confirm it opens the lock.

Mounting the Bracket

The included bracket allows for convenient transport of your AXA Fold Lite C100 lock on your bicycle. It can be mounted in two ways:

• Using Bottle Cage Mounts: If your bicycle frame has standard bottle cage mounting points, you can attach the bracket directly using the provided screws.
• Using Mounting Straps: For frames without bottle cage mounts, or if you prefer a different location, use the two included mounting straps to secure the bracket firmly to your frame. Ensure the straps are tightened securely to prevent rattling during rides.
