TAKING CARE OF YOUR BOUNCER

To ensure that your KNOG Bouncer operates
properly and smoothly for many years to
come, KNOG advises that you follow our
general maintenance guidelines:
– Do not use any other object to open the
lock, other than the keys provided
– Take care not to use excessive force
when rotating the key in the lock. If the key
does not rotate with reasonable force then
it may be that something is jammed within
the lock or something is preventing the lock
from opening
– Avoid leaving the lock in a harsh environ-
ment for an extended period of time. KNOG
suggests that if you require your bicycle to
13
be locked and stationary for an extended
period of time that you do so in a sheltered
environment away from the weather
– Cleaning of the lock should be performed
by wiping with a warm damp cloth. For stub-
born dirt, use a warm moist cloth with mild
soap. Be sure to wipe off any soap residue
after cleaning
– With heavy use, your lock could pick
up all kinds of grime and debris, so to
ensure optimal operation of the lock, KNOG
recommends lubricating the lock regularly by
spraying or dripping a few drops of lubricant
into the lock cylinder, as well as the internal
lock mechanisms through the two shackle
holes. After applying lubricant, operate the
lock a couple of times to make sure that all
internal components are covered
– The Bouncer U-lock prefers PTFE (Teflon)
based general purpose or bike chain lubri-
cant, commonly available in aerosol spray
cans or drip bottles; you can find these at
your local bike stores and hardware stores.
Apply every 3-6 months to keep everything
running smooth
– Avoid using wax-based lubricant
or penetrating oil sprays such as WD-40
– Do not penetrate the lock with any
other object, substance, fluid, spray, dust
or powder
