    Default A

    Also when I do start to put the combination in should I go by the dot above 3 or the line above 0

    Try 4l, 3r, 2l. Then turn back to the right.

    By that stage you have aligned the discs in their correct position, You then turn the dial slowly in the direction opposite to the final combination rotation, and if I am correct, you will feel the dial pick up the action and withdraw the bolt. As it withdraws the bolt it will come to a dead stop and the lock will be unlocked.
