Resetting a toy crane machine after a game is typically straightforward and ensures it's ready for the next player. First, wait for the current game to completely finish—this means the timer runs out or the player collects their prize. Most modern machines reset automatically, returning the claw to its starting position. If automatic reset doesn't occur, locate the reset button on the main control panel or inside the service door; press it briefly to initiate a manual reset. For persistent issues, power cycling the machine by turning it off and on can help. Always refer to the manufacturer's manual for model-specific instructions, and perform regular maintenance to prevent malfunctions.
