Product Information
Full details
The Abus Steel-O-Chain 4804C is designed for cyclists needing basic security for low-risk environments, offering quick, keyless locking with its automatic closing function. Its primary benefit is convenience, especially when time is limited. However, it is best suited for low-cost or children's bikes in areas with a low risk of theft, and should not be relied upon for high-value bicycles or in high-risk locations. Key features include a 4 mm hardened steel chain, a protective textile sleeve, and an individually settable 3-digit combination lock.

FAQs
What type of security does the Abus Steel-O-Chain 4804C offer?
The Steel-O-Chain 4804C provides basic security, making it suitable for low-risk theft areas and recommended for low-range bicycles and children's bikes.
Is this lock suitable for high-value bicycles?
No, this lock is intended for basic security needs and is not recommended for high-value bicycles or in high-risk theft environments.
How do I set the 3-digit combination?
To set the combination, ensure the lock is open, locate the reset mechanism (usually near the dials), hold it down, change the dials to your desired code, and then release the mechanism. Test the new code.
How long is the chain?
The chain has a length of 1100 mm.
Does the lock come with keys?
No, the Steel-O-Chain 4804C is a combination lock and does not use keys. It features an automatic closing function and a settable 3-digit code.
What is the diameter of the chain links?
The chain is 4 mm thick.
Will the lock damage my bike's paintwork?
The chain is covered by a textile sleeve designed to prevent damage to your bicycle's paintwork.
How should I transport the lock on my bike?
The lock is designed for easy transport around the seat post. For more protected transport, ABUS recommends frame bags like the ST 2012 or ST 2200.
Troubleshooting
Combination lock is stiff or won't turn.
Ensure the correct combination is entered precisely. Try applying a dry lubricant to the mechanism and work the dials back and forth. Check for any debris obstructing the dials.
Lock will not close or open.
Verify the combination is correct. Ensure no dirt or damage is preventing the locking bolt from engaging or disengaging. If the mechanism is damaged, the lock may need to be cut off.
Textile sleeve is torn or damaged.
While the sleeve protects the paint, damage to the sleeve itself does not typically affect the lock's security function. However, for continued paint protection, consider replacing the lock if the sleeve is significantly damaged.
Forgot the combination.
Unfortunately, if the combination is forgotten and cannot be reset, the lock will likely need to be cut off. It is crucial to store your chosen combination in a safe place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Setting the Combination: The lock comes with a default combination or can be set by the user. To set your personal code, ensure the lock is open.

Release the reset mechanism. Test the new code by opening and closing the lock.

Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the chain and lock mechanism with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the plastic housing or textile sleeve.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a dry lubricant (like graphite powder or a silicone-based spray) to the combination mechanism to ensure smooth operation, especially after exposure to rain or dust.
- Inspection: Regularly check the chain links, sleeve, and lock mechanism for any signs of wear or damage. Do not use if the lock appears compromised.
