A. Important information:
The locking mechanism works smoothly. No force should be applied - particularly when
inserting the change activator into the lock.
Using a wrong change activator with the lock (e.g. use of activator of 4 wheel combination
lock for 3 wheel combination lock or vice versa) can result in damage to the lock.
The lock must not be lubricated.
The lock may only be installed by specialist personnel. Manipulation of any lock parts will
lead to invalidation of any warranty claims.
Security advice: Alter the factory-set combination immediately to your own personal code.
Do not use any personal or other similarly well known data (for example birthdays or tel-
ephone numbers) when selecting this code. Keep the code in a safe place.
Always turn the dial slowly and carefully. You can stop
the turning as often as you want to. Stop the last turn
when the code is exactly lined-up on the Opening
Index. If you turn past a number in the combination
while dialing, do not turn the dial backwards. You must
redial the entire combination.
Do not apply any force!

B. Opening the lock - using the Opening Index:
The lock comes with the factory-set combination 10 – 20 – 30 – 40 (if the safe producer has
set a different code, the customer has to be informed):
5 x
Turn the dial RIGHT passing the fi rst number in the combination “10”
four times. Then stop exactly on the number “10” the fi fth time.
4 x
Turn the dial LEFT passing the next number in the combination “20”
three times. Then stop exactly on the number “20” the fourth time.
3 x
Turn the dial RIGHT passing the next number in the combination “30”
two times. Then stop exactly on the number “30” the third time.
2 x
Turn the dial LEFT passing the last number in the combination “40”
one time. Then stop exactly on the number “40” the second time.
Turn the dial to the RIGHT to open the lock. The lock bolt is fully
retraced when the dial no longer turns right.
C. Locking the lock:
To lock the combination lock, turn the dial fi ve complete rotations to the LEFT.
D. Change the combination - using the Changing Index:
To change the combination, you must fi rst open the safe door and lock the lock (bolt fully

extended). Dial the existing combination using the Changing Index, e.g. 10 – 20 – 30 – 40 (if
another code is chosen, dial the corresponding numbers).
5 x turn the dial RIGHT until “10” is exactly lined-up on the Changing Index
4 x turn the dial LEFT until “20” is exactly lined-up on the Changing Index
3 x turn the dial RIGHT until “30” is exactly lined-up on the Changing Index and
2 x turn the dial LEFT until “40” is exactly lined-up on the Changing Index.

Fig. 3: Change label
Insert the change activator with the long side into the activator hole at the inner door. Turn the
change activator approx. 90° to the RIGHT until it stops.
If the change label (see Fig. 3) is used, the positions of the change activator are easy to rec-
ognize. If the change activator cannot be turned, a mistake was made in entering the code on
the Changing Index. Remove the change activator and redial the existing combination using
the Changing Index.
Do not apply any force!
After turning the change activator until it stops, a new combination can be set. The numbers of
the new combination should be at least 4 increments apart from each other.
The 4th number
must be higher than 20!
5 x
Turn the dial RIGHT passing the fi rst number in the combination
“10” four times. Then stop exactly on the number “10” the fi fth time.
4 x
Turn the dial LEFT passing the next number in the combination “20”
three times. Then stop exactly on the number “20” the fourth time.
3 x
Turn the dial RIGHT passing the next number in the combination “30”
two times. Then stop exactly on the number “30” the third time.
2 x
Turn the dial LEFT passing the last number in the combination “40”
one time. Then stop exactly on the number “40” the second time.
If you dial past the number where you were supposed to stop, you cannot reverse the dial to
correct. The opening procedure must be repeated from the beginning.
After the code has been set, turn the change activator approx. 90° to the LEFT until it stops
and remove the change activator. The new combination has been set.
To test, dial the new combination using the Opening Index.
Always perform this test with
the safe door open!
Test several times before closing the safe door.
