Resetting a directional padlock typically involves a specific sequence of actions performed with the shackle. Here's a general process based on the provided information, though specific models may vary:
- Keep the shackle open. This is crucial for the reset process.
- Insert the shackle into the padlock body.
- Move the shackle up to the "R" (or a marked reset position, if applicable). This step likely engages the resetting mechanism.
- Close the shackle.
- Pump the shackle twice. This action likely sets the new combination.
- Open the shackle. The padlock should now be reset.
Important Considerations:
- Specific models vary: The exact steps might differ slightly depending on the brand and model of the directional padlock. Always consult the manufacturer's instructions if available.
- Shackle position: The reference to "R" likely indicates a specific point or position where the shackle needs to be moved to initiate the reset. Look for markings or labels on the padlock body.
- Trial and Error: If the above steps don't work, try varying the number of pumps or the position of the shackle when closing it.
