To use the TurboDecoder HU198, insert the tool into the Ford HU198 lock, ensuring proper alignment with the lock cylinder. The tool is designed to engage with the lock pins, allowing you to decode the lock without causing damage. Once inserted, apply consistent tension using the Tension Wheel to maintain a smooth operation. This will help keep the lock mechanism in place while the tool works to decode the pins. 

• Tension wheel – with this wheel you apply tension on the tool during the opening procedure. The Tension wheel must be in constant tension while you operate with the Turbo wheel (read below)
• The Gate Wheel plays a crucial role in aligning and decoding the lock’s pin configuration. Slide back the wheel to allow full engagement of the tools’ pins with the wafers of the HU198 lock. If the Gate is not fully opened (pushed back) the pins of the tool cannot engage with the locks’ wafers.
• The Turbo Wheel assists in the self-impressioning process, completing the decoding once the pins are aligned by the Gate Wheel. Turn the Turbo Wheel in small increments to fully engage the lock’s mechanism and ensure precise results. 

Proper lubrication of the lock mechanism can improve the TurboDecoder HU198’s efficiency. Use a small amount of WD40 or any other lock lubricant or graphite powder to prevent the pins from sticking or jamming during the decoding process. 

It’s important to avoid excessive use of the TurboDecoder HU198 on the same lock without checking the lock for wear. By following these steps, you’ll achieve accurate and reliable decoding, ensuring the TurboDecoder HU198 works effectively to unlock Ford vehicles quickly and without damage.
