Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup (Setting the Combination):
- Ensure the padlock is open using the factory-set combination (usually 0-0-0-0).
- Locate the reset mechanism. This is typically a small pin or lever on the side or bottom of the padlock body, often requiring a small tool like a paperclip or screwdriver to press.
- Use a pen or pointed object to push and hold the reset mechanism.
- While holding the reset mechanism, dial in your desired 4-digit combination.
- Release the reset mechanism. Your new combination is now set.
- Test the new combination several times to ensure it works correctly before closing the shackle.
Compatibility:
This padlock is designed to fit hasps with openings of at least 6.3mm (shackle diameter) and sufficient width to accommodate the 40mm body.
Care:
To maintain optimal performance, especially in harsh environments:
- Periodically rinse the padlock with fresh water to remove salt or dirt.
- Ensure the shackle seal remains intact and clean.
- Avoid submerging the padlock for extended periods.
- Do not force the dials if they feel stiff; ensure the padlock is fully open.
