Setup
Unpacking Your Luggage:
Carefully remove all luggage pieces from their packaging. Inspect each item for any signs of damage. The smaller pieces are nested inside the larger ones for shipping efficiency.
Setting the TSA Combination Lock:
Your Merax luggage comes with a built-in TSA-approved 3-digit combination lock. The initial combination is set to 0-0-0.
- Ensure the lock is set to the original combination (0-0-0).
- Locate the reset button (a small, recessed button, usually on the side or bottom of the lock). Use a pen or a pointed tool to press and hold this button until you hear a "click" sound.
- While holding the reset button, set your desired 3-digit combination by turning the dials. Choose a memorable combination.
- Release the reset button. Press the main button or slide the latch in the direction of the arrow until you hear another "click" sound. This confirms your new combination is set.
- Test your new combination by scrambling the dials and then entering your new code to open the lock.

Maintenance
Cleaning Your Luggage:
To keep your hardside luggage looking its best:
- Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the surface.
- For interior cleaning, vacuum or wipe with a damp cloth. Ensure the interior is completely dry before closing and storing.
Storage:
When not in use, store your luggage in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Nesting the smaller pieces inside the larger ones can save storage space.
Troubleshooting
TSA Lock Issues:
- Cannot open lock: Ensure you are using the correct 3-digit combination. If forgotten, you may need to try combinations or contact support.
- Lock feels stuck: Ensure the zippers are fully inserted into the lock mechanism. Apply gentle pressure while entering the combination.
- Reset button not working: Ensure the lock is set to the current combination before attempting to reset. Press the reset button firmly until you hear a click.
Wheel Issues:
- Wheels not spinning smoothly: Check for debris (hair, lint, dirt) caught in the wheel mechanism. Clean as necessary.
- Wobbly or damaged wheels: Avoid dragging luggage over rough surfaces or curbs. If a wheel is damaged, contact customer support for assistance.
Zipper Issues:
- Zipper stuck: Do not force the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth and try to move the slider. Lubricate with a small amount of wax or zipper lubricant if needed.
- Zipper teeth misaligned: Try to realign the teeth by moving the slider back and forth gently. Avoid overpacking, which can strain zippers.
