Strange Garny combination padlock behavior

It works like a normal combination lock with three wheels. The only difference is that the bolt is pushed into the locking position by a spring.
In my lock I can dial freely CCW, but when I turn the dial CW it starts to get harder to turn until it is stuck after 1 or 2 turns. With some force CCW I can get it loose again. It is set to the default combination 50. I can dial CCW to 50 and then unlock it CW.
Any idea what is happening there?
