(This is the zero minute.) 2. Set the Hour Wheel Figure 4.2 to the current Hour. 3. Rotate the Clock Face Setting Wheel Figure 4.3 to set the hands to match the time set on the wheels. 4. Rotate the Main Setting Wheel to advance both the Clock Face and Print Wheels together. Rotate until you pass the actual time by one minute (each “click” indicates one minute.) For example, at 10:05, rotate 5 times = 5 clicks = 5 minutes past ten o’clock. 5. Hold the corner of the Clock Face and release the Release Latch by pushing it to the left. Slowly let the Type Section down and press it firmly into the Type Section Headlock. 6. Make a sample registration and verify the time and date or day is correct. 7. Replace and lock the case cover Page 7 Mechanical Time Recorder User’s Guide Set the Time on the Analog Clock Face Figure 5 1. Make a sample registration on paper. 2. Rotate Clock Face Setting Wheel 5.1 until the clock face displays the same time as shown on the sample registration. DO NOT TURN CLOCK HANDS EXCEPT BY USING SETTING WHEEL. Page 8 Mechanical Time Recorder User’s Guide Set the Time on the Digital Clock Face Figure 6 1. Make a sample registration on paper. 2. Use the Hour and Minute buttons to set the display to the time shown on the sample registration. 3. To synchronize the display with the type wheels, listen for the type wheels to click. At the click, press the minute button to advance to the next minute. Seconds are now synchronized. Always set the display to regular minutes. Refer to Figure 3, “dial of decimal equivalent” if using hundredths or tenths. Page 9 Mechanical Time Recorder User’s Guide Changing the Ribbon Lathem time recorders have self-reversing ribbons. With normal use, a ribbon should last for many months or even years….and when the time comes, it is easy to change. Figure 7 1. Remove the top cover and raise type section (see “Raise the type section” on page 3.) 2. Remove the cotter pins 7.1 that retain the ribbon spools and slide off old spools. 3. Lift ribbon hold-down guide 7.2 – use pencil to support in up position. 4. Remove ribbon and replace with new Lathem ribbon. Make sure the ribbon feeds from bottom of spools and runs BETWEEN reversing fingers 7.3, the red side aligned with date wheel(s). 5. Install cotter pins, remove pencil, and lower type section into place. Page 10 Mechanical Time Recorder User’s Guide Replacing the Type Section If your type section needs servicing, you can easily remove and replace it without sending the entire machine for service. Figure 8 1. Remove the top cover. 2. Remove Type Section Retaining Ring – 8.1. 3. Unplug connectors if type section has digital time display (not shown). 4. Lift type section slightly and move it to the right to release Hinge Pins – 8.2 from their sockets. Unit will lift out. Page 11 Mechanical Time Recorder User’s Guide Install / Replace Batteries in BATT Figure 9 The 2000-BATT requires four “D” size batteries and should operate for six months before replacement. An internal beeper sounds momentarily each minute when the battery supply discharges below 4.5 volts. Replace batteries as follows when this occurs: 1. Pull and remove the front two rubber feet underneath the unit. 2. Loosen, 1 to 2 turns, the two phillips-head screws located 1.5 inches directly inside the rubber feet mounting holes. 3. Slide the bottom battery compartment outward (to front) and down, to get to the batteries. (See Figure 9.) 4. Replace the four “D” size batteries. Be sure the batteries are installed with proper polarity (+/-) as marked on battery holder. 5. Re-install the battery compartment on the bottom of the recorder, aligning the holes with the screws. Press the compartment firmly to the back (inward), tighten the two Phillips-head screws, and re-insert the two rubber feet. Page 12 Mechanical Time Recorder User’s Guide Changing the Motor Figure 10 1. Unplug cord from wall outlet (except 2100BATT). 2. Remove type section from main frame (see “Replacing the Type Section”). 3. Figure 10 shows a close-up of cam block terminal. 4. Disconnect Motor Wire Leads – 10.1 by turning each Screw – 10.2 one-quarter of a turn counterclockwise. 5. Remove the Motor Clutch – 10.3 from its shaft. The shaft has LEFT HAND threads – remove clutch by turning clockwise. 6. Hold Motor Bracket – 10.4 and loosen Motor Mounting Screws – 10.5. Remove and retain screws and bracket from old motor. 7. Install motor clutch on new motor. Turn counterclockwise to tighten. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN OR BEND – YOU MAY DAMAGE INTERNAL MOTOR GEARS. 8. Install new motor. 9.
