Operating & Changing Instruction For 3 Wheel Combination Lock

The OPENING INDEX – Located in the centre.

The CHANGING INDEX – Located to the left Opening Index.

The OPENING INDEX is provided for normal dialing and opening.

The CHANGING INDEX is provided for use only when setting a new combination.

Turn the dial slowly and steadily. If, after turning the correct number of revolutions, any number is turned beyond the index, the entire series of combination numbers must be redialed. DO NOT TURN BACK TO REGAIN A PROPER ALIGNMENT WITH THE NUMBERS. Each time a selected number is aligned with the Opening Index, a revolution is counted.

CHANGING TO A NEW COMBINATION

Select 3 sets of numbers of your own choice

Example : The combination 25-72-48.

DO NOT use any numbers between 0 and 20 for the last number. Further, it is not recommended to use numbers all ending in 0 or 5 (eg. 20-70-50) or numbers in a rising or falling sequence (eg. 17-32-68 or 99-64-22).

5. Turn the dial to the LEFT (anti-clockwise), stopping when the THIRD number (48) is aligned with the CHANGING INDEX, the SECOND time. Holding the dial in this position, turn the changing key one quarter turn to the anti-clockwise direction. Remove the Changing Key. The new combination you have chosen is now set in the lock. In this example, it is 25-72-48.

CAUTION
