shown in Fig. 1. Turn the key all the way to the right and pull
the cover forward. Lift the entire cover straight up and over
the push bar. Remove the packing materials (cardboard tabs
marked remove) from both sides of the inked ribbon spools as
shown in Fig. 2.
1.2. The time clock may be placed on a table or installed on the
wall. To mount the clock on the wall, insert a screw on the

2. Setting the time and date
NOTE: Do not touch the clock hands.
Insert a blank time card before you begin to verify the time, month and date.
2.1 SETTING THE TIME: Pull up and hold the red-tipped lever.
Put your finger on the white wheel and push clockwise to the
desired time as shown in Fig. 4. Let go of the red-tipped
lever and white wheel. Insert a time card to make sure that
the time is correct as shown in Fig. 5.

2.2 SETTING THE MONTH: Press down the brass retainer clip
inserted in the MONTH typewheel. This frees up the wheel.
Turn the wheel counterclockwise using the tip of your pen or
pencil (each groove represents one month) until the desired
month shows on the punch as shown in Fig. 6.
NOTE: The month must be advanced every month.
2.3 SETTING THE DATE (1-31): Turn the DATE typewheel coun-
terclockwise using the tip of your pen or pencil (each click
represents one date) until the desired date shows on the
punch as shown in Fig. 7.
NOTE: If the month has 28, 29 or 30 days, you will need to
change the date typewheel to the first of the month.

3. Adjusting your clock for Daylight Saving Time
3.1 Beginning of Daylight Saving Time: Advance the time one
(1) hour using the method described in Section 2.1 (SET-
TING THE TIME) on the first Sunday in April every year.
3.2 End of Daylight Saving Time: There are two ways to adjust
your clock for the end of daylight saving time. You can take
the plug out for more than one hour and set the clock to the
correct time using the method described in Section 2.1 (SET-
TING THE TIME). Or, you can advance the time 23 hours
using the method described in Section 2.1 (SETTING THE
TIME) and adjusting the DATE using the method described in
Section 2.3 (SETTING THE DATE).
NOTE: The clock and typewheels should only be adjusted
forward. Reversing the direction of the clock hands and
typewheels will damage the clock.
4. Replacing the ribbon
When the imprint becomes too light, replace the ribbon using the
following procedure:
4.1 Remove the old ribbon spool by pushing the ribbon spool in
the direction of the arrow as shown in Fig. 8. The ribbon
winding ratchet gear will come out with the ribbon spool.
Remove the ratchet gear from the spool before you discard
the old ribbon.

ratchet gear marked “L”into the left spool, and the ratchet
gear marked “R” into the right spool as shown in Fig. 9.
