with the corresponding code gear pocket (d) next to it.
Position the chamber in one hand, as
shown. Hold chamber by the top screw tab
(e) and bottom screw tab (f).
Rotate the reset cam (g) back toward you
with your finger, towards the key stems (h) as far as it will
go and then release. Now look at the code gears (a) and
the unlocking slide (c). Note that some or all 5 of the code
gear pockets (d) are rotated away from the “L” shaped
legs (b) as if out of alignment. Typically each code gear
pocket will be at a slightly different distance compared to
the other.
Note: Sometimes two different gear pockets are away from alignment by
exactly the same distance – this indicates that the current combination uses
two different number buttons (example, 2 and 4) depressed at the same
time as part of the combination.
Using a small flat blade screw driver or your thumbnail, depress the key
stem which corresponds to the gear pocket which has been rotated the
farthest away (out of alignment) from the “L” shaped leg. When
depressed, the key stem(s) should stay down and the corresponding
gear pocket(s) should move closer to its corresponding “L” leg, closer to
alignment. Record the key stem number. This is the first number of your
combination.
Note: If two gear pockets are at the same distance, depress
both of these corresponding key stems at the same time.
Continue by pressing the key stem that corresponds to the gear pocket
that was the next furthest away (do not include gear pockets that have
already been rotated). Record each key stem number that is depressed.
Continue this procedure until all five gear pockets are aligned with their
corresponding “L” shaped legs on the unlocking slide. The combination
is the recorded numbers, in the order recorded.
Note: If you depress the wrong key stem by mistake, rotate the reset cam
back toward you, (toward the key stems and release). This resets the code
gears and you must repeat the above procedure, O-3.

O-4 Clearing the Current Combination and Setting a New Combination
Note: Align the code gear pockets with the “L” shaped legs.
Depress the combination change button (i) located on top
of the combination chamber and release.
Rotate the reset cam back toward you with your finger
(toward the key stems) as far as it will go and release.
Enter your new combination by depressing the key stem
corresponding to the first number (1 through 5) of your
combination. For example, if the new combination is 3-2-5,
then you would depress 3 first, then 2 and finally 5. Record
this new combination for future reference.
Push the shoulder (j) at the bottom of the Unlocking slide up toward the
combination change button and release. If each of the 5 “L” shaped legs of
the unlocking slide engages snugly inside its corresponding code gear pocket,
then it confirms that the new combination has been successfully changed.
Rotate the reset cam (g) back toward you and release.
Note: If all 5 “L” shaped legs do not align fully with their corresponding
code gear pockets, repeat the procedures O-3 and O-4.
O-5 Reinstalling chamber assembly into lock and retesting
Reinstall the 3-sided dust cover over the combination chamber with the
2 small Phillips screws removed. (May be 1 screw in newer models)
Reinstall the combination chamber assembly to the base plate with the
2 Phillips screws removed.
Reinstall the base plate on to the outside lock assembly with the 2
Phillips screws removed. Make sure all parts have been reinstalled
correctly.
O-6 Reinstall lock on door by following the procedures in Sections E and F
of this manual.
O-7 Retest new combination with lock on door by entering the new
numbers followed by the “ENTER” button and rotating the outside
lever/knob. The lock should open and the latch should retract.
