How to use

To use the OnGuard Neon 8152BL, first attach the mounting bracket to your bicycle frame using the provided hardware. When parking, place the U-lock around the bicycle frame and a secure, immovable object such as a bike rack or a metal post. Insert the shackle into the locking mechanism until it clicks securely into place. To unlock, insert one of the provided keys and turn it to release the shackle. Always ensure the lock is positioned away from the ground to prevent leverage attacks.

What to consider before purchase

• Check the dimensions to ensure the shackle fits your specific bicycle frame and intended locking points
• Verify that your bicycle frame has a suitable location for the mounting bracket
• Consider the weight of the lock relative to your daily riding needs

Usage recommendations: For maximum security, always lock your bicycle frame and at least one wheel to a fixed, immovable object. Keep the keyhole clean and lubricate the locking mechanism periodically to maintain smooth operation.
