ATTENTION:

FREQUENT LUBRICATION IS NECESSARY ON THE LOCKING SYSTEM

The pushbutton lock contains an “O” ring seal to protect the interior from dust and water. If this
mechanism is not lubricated regularly it will become difficult to operate and it may not return to its
home position preventing the key from operating the lock. If this happens simply pull up on the
pushbutton to manually bring it back to its home position. Lubricate the pushbutton with a light
lubricant such as silicone spray. The pushbutton may have to be periodically disassembled and
cleaned.
