Using the Hiplok Switch is a breeze. First, unfold the lock to its full 85cm length and wrap it around your bike's frame and a fixed object. Then, secure it using the keys provided. If you want to carry it on your body, use the SWITCH Clip Carry System to attach it to your belt or bag strap. For bike - mounted use, install the SWITCH bracket and plate on your bike. You can easily swap between the lock and a water bottle as needed. When it comes to maintenance, keep the lock dry to prevent rust. If it gets dirty, you can wipe it down with a clean, dry cloth. Always make sure to keep your keys in a safe place. In case you lose them, remember you have replaceable keys. Enjoy the convenience and security of your Hiplok Switch lock!
