CHANGING PROCEDURE
1. Using the existing combination, open
the lock as descirbed in the OPENING
PROCEDURE.
2. Use the screwdriver end of the change
key (Figure B) to turn the cover locking
screw (Figure C) clockwise until it
comes to a complete stop.
3. Remove the padlock's rear cover plate
by sliding it upward.
4. Turn the padlock's cover locking screw
counterclockwise, backing it out of
the lock body as far as possible. It
does not have a positive stop.
5. Close the shackle.
6. Cover the opening index mark with a
small piece of tape or your thumb to
prevent the possibility of dialing the
numbers to the opening index.
7. Dial the existing combination to the
changing index. All numbers of the
combination, including the last turn
to zero, are used in the combination
changing procedure.
A. If the lock is new and just being
put into service, the single number
25 is the combination. Turn the
dial left (counterclockwise) until
25 aligns with the changing index
the fourth time. Turn the dial right
(clockwise) one-half revolution,
stopping when zero is aligned with
the changing index the first time.
Do not pull on the shackle.
B. If the lock is set on any other
combination, use the same
procedure given for opening the
lock, but dial the numbers to the
changing index.
8. Use the elbow of the change key (Figure
B) to turn the key hole screw on the
back of the lock (Figure C) clockwise
to the open position. If it will not turn,
repeat the procedure in step 7.
9. Insert the change key (tip first) into
the change key hole in the back of
the lock. The change key is properly
seated when the tab on the key is fully
inside the lock. Turn the key clockwise
one-quarter turn.
10. Set the new combination as follows:
A. Turn the dial left until the first
number of the new combinaiton
aligns with the changing index the
fourth time.
B. Turn the dial right until the second
number of the new combination
aligns with the changing index the
third time.
C. Turn the dial left until the third
number of the new combination
aligns with the changing index the
second time.
D. Turn the dial clockwise until zero
aligns with the changing index the
first time.
11. Once the new combination is
set and zero is aligned with the
changing index, turn the change key
counterclockwise one-quarter turn
and remove. Do not turn the key hole
screw at this time.

Note: To ensure you have correctly set
the combination, you should once again
completely re-dial the new combination
as directed in Step 10. Re-insert the
change key fully into the lock, but do
not turn it. If the key will fully insert, you
have set the new combination correctly.
12. Remove the change key and again
dial the new combination (including
the final turn to zero) to the changing
index. Using the change key elbow,
turn the key hole screw to the closed
position, and close the shackle.
13. If the key hole screw will not return to
the closed position, the combination
has been incorrectly dialed. Re-dial
the combinaiton to the changing
index and try again.

the opening index. Dial the new
combination to the opening index
following the steps in the OPENING
