• Cylinder Protection: Utilize the rotating dustcover to protect the cylinder from dirt, dust, and moisture.
• ലൂബ്രിക്കേഷൻ: Periodically lubricate the lock cylinder with a PTFE-based lubricant (e.g., Kryptonite Lock Lubricant) to ensure smooth operation and prevent corrosion. Avoid oil-based lubricants as they can attract dirt.
• വൃത്തിയാക്കൽ: Wipe down the shackle and crossbar with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt. The protective vinyl coating can be cleaned with mild soap and water.
• പ്രധാന പരിചരണം: Keep your keys clean and free of debris. Avoid forcing the key if it feels stiff; apply lubricant to the cylinder first.

ട്രബിൾഷൂട്ടിംഗ്

• Stiff or Sticky Lock: If the key is difficult to turn or the shackle is hard to remove/insert, the cylinder may need lubrication. Apply a small amount of PTFE-based lubricant into the keyway and work the key in and out several times.
• നഷ്ടപ്പെട്ട താക്കോലുകൾ: If you have registered your key number with the Key Safe Program, you can request free replacement keys from Kryptonite. Refer to the Key Safe Program section under 'Setup' for details.
• കിലുങ്ങുന്ന ശബ്ദം: The lock is equipped with anti-rattle bumpers to minimize noise during transport. Ensure the lock is properly seated in the Transit FlexFrame-U bracket. If rattling persists, check the bracket's tightness on the frame.
