Insert the feeler just to the LEFT of
one of the thumbwheels, as shown in the above pictures. Turn the
thumbwheel one position at a time, and check the depth that the feeler
inserts at each position. Find the position where the feeler inserts
deepest. In the above picture on the right, the feeler inserted deepest at
3. Repeat for each of the other three thumbwheels.
Now, turn each
of the thumbwheels 5 positions, in either direction. In the picture on the
right, the thumbwheels read 3325. After turning each thumbwheel 5
positions, the thumbwheels read 8870. Now, push the lever, located to the
left of the thumbwheels, down to open the lock in the normal
way.
Note the differences from using the feeler gauge to recover
the combination for the Master Thumbwheel Padlock. The feeler is inserted
to the left of each thumbwheel, instead of the right. The feeler inserts
deepest at a number, not half way between numbers. The thumbwheels must
turn half a turn to reach the correct combination, not a quarter
turn.
