2. Important Safety Instructions

WARNING: Risk of Electric Shock or Fire.

• Always disconnect power at the circuit breaker or fuse box before installing, servicing, or removing the motor. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.
• Installation and servicing should only be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with all local and national electrical codes.
• Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated.
• Do not operate the timer with damaged components. Replace any worn or broken parts immediately.

3. Installation Guide

3.1 Accessing the Timer Mechanism

1. Disconnect Power: Turn off the circuit breaker supplying power to the timer. Verify power is off using a voltage tester.
2. Open Timer Enclosure: Open the timer's outer housing.
3. Remove Insulator Shield: Carefully remove any insulator shield covering the electrical terminals.
4. Remove Timer Mechanism: Locate the metal clip holding the timer mechanism in place. Press the clip and gently lift the entire mechanism out of the enclosure.

3.2 Replacing the Clock Motor

1. Locate Motor: Turn the timer mechanism over to expose the clock motor, typically labeled WG1573-5.
2. Disconnect Wires: Unscrew the terminal screws holding the old motor's wires. Carefully disconnect the two wires from the motor.
3. Remove Old Motor: Unscrew the small torx head brass screws securing the motor to the mechanism. Remove the old motor.
4. Install New Motor: Position the new WG1573-10D motor and secure it with the screws. Ensure the motor gear properly meshes with the intermediate gear.
5. Connect Wires: Connect the new motor's wires to the appropriate terminals. Ensure connections are tight.
6. Reassemble: Place the timer mechanism back into the enclosure, ensuring it clips securely. Replace the insulator shield and close the timer housing.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Setting the Time of Day

1. Pull Out Dial: Gently pull the yellow clock dial forward to disengage its gear from the timer mechanism.
2. Turn Dial: Rotate the dial in either direction until the current time of day aligns with the tip of the time-of-day pointer. The dial features 15-minute increments for precise setting.
3. Push In Dial: Once the time is set, push the dial back into place to re-engage the gears.

4.2 Setting ON/OFF Times (Trippers)

The timer uses ON and OFF trippers to automate switching. These trippers attach to the perimeter of the yellow clock dial.

• ON Tripper: The ON tripper has a tab closer to the center of the dial. When the dial rotates and the ON tripper engages the top of the switch, it turns the timer ON.
• OFF Tripper: The OFF tripper has a tab closer to the edge of the dial. When the dial rotates and the OFF tripper engages the bottom of the switch, it turns the timer OFF.
• Adjusting Trippers: To adjust the ON/OFF times, loosen the screw on the tripper, slide it to the desired time on the dial, and tighten the screw.

4.3 Manual Override

The timer includes a manual switch lever for temporary operation. Moving the lever to the left opens the contacts (OFF), and moving it to the right closes the contacts (ON). This manual operation will be overridden by the next scheduled ON or OFF tripper event.

5. Maintenance

• Periodic Inspection: Regularly inspect the timer for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections.
• Cleaning: Keep the timer enclosure clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners.
• Component Check: Ensure the clock dial rotates freely and the trippers engage the switch mechanism correctly.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Motor Not Running

• Check Power: Ensure the timer is receiving power from the circuit breaker.
• Inspect Gears: If the timer is powered but the clock dial is not moving, carefully observe the small plastic gears connected to the motor. If these gears are not rotating, the motor may be faulty and require replacement.
• Verify Connections: Check that the motor's electrical connections are secure.
