After each turn on a toy crane machine, the claw resets automatically. Once your play session ends—whether you successfully grab a prize or not—the claw will automatically return to its starting position above the prize pool. This is a fundamental part of the machine's design to ensure fair play and readiness for the next player. You do not need to manually reset it. Simply insert your coins or press the start button for your next turn, and the machine will be ready. The mechanism involves the claw dropping, attempting a grab, releasing if commanded, and then retracting back to the home position. For consistent operation, ensure the machine is properly powered and free of jams.
