3.1 Setting Your Combination
Your KryptoFlex lock comes with a preset combination (usually 0000). To set your personal combination:
- Ensure the lock is open and set to the current combination (factory default is 0000).
- Locate the reset button or mechanism. This is typically a small knob or lever on the side of the lock body.
- Using a pen or small pointed object, press and hold the reset button.
- Tout en maintenant le bouton de réinitialisation enfoncé, tournez les molettes jusqu'à la combinaison à 4 chiffres souhaitée. Choisissez un numéro facile à retenir.
- Relâchez le bouton de réinitialisation. Votre nouvelle combinaison est maintenant définie.
- Scramble the dials to lock the mechanism. Test your new combination to ensure it opens the lock before securing your property.

- Pull the cable end out of the locking mechanism.
- Unthread the cable from your bicycle and the fixed object.
5. Entretien
To ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your Kryptonite KryptoFlex lock, follow these maintenance tips:
- Lubrification: Periodically apply a small amount of graphite-based lubricant or a silicone spray to the locking mechanism and combination dials. This helps prevent corrosion and ensures smooth operation, especially in wet or dusty environments.
- Nettoyage: Wipe down the cable and lock body with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the protective coating.
- Stockage: When not in use, store the lock in a dry place to prevent rust and extend its lifespan.
6. Dépannage
| Problème | Cause possible | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Les molettes sont dures ou difficiles à tourner. | Dirt, grime, or lack of lubrication. | Clean the dials and apply a graphite-based lubricant or silicone spray. Work the dials back and forth to distribute the lubricant. |
| Lock won't open with the correct combination. | Combination was reset accidentally, or dials are not perfectly aligned. | Double-check that each number is precisely aligned with the indicator marks. If you registered your combination with the Combo Safe Program, retrieve it from there. Otherwise, try combinations close to your intended one. |
| Cable end does not insert or remove smoothly. | Debris in the locking mechanism or minor misalignment. | Inspect the opening for any obstructions. Apply lubricant to the insertion point. Ensure the cable end is straight when inserting. |
