Assembling
the Movement
Putting the Front Plate onto the Frame
Now combine the front plate with the partially assembled movement
and the back plate. To do this, turn the front plate over and lower it.
Carefully guide the pivots
*
and tops of the pillars
*
into the ball
bearings and holes.
Assembling the Click
The click spring
*
is already pre-assembled on the front plate.
Now complete the click
*
by adding the following elements in
this order:
◊
Ratchet wheel
*
Compartment (19)
◊
Ratchet
*
Compartment (19)
When adding the ratchet wheel
*
, please make sure that the side
marked with an O (for the German word »oben,« up) is visible. When
the ratchet
*
is correctly positioned, like in the illustration below,
teeth will mesh and fit tightly with the teeth of the ratchet wheel.
The click spring should securely push the teeth; if necessary the click
spring might have to be correspondingly bent. Please make sure
that the click spring is in the correct position; it should be rigidly sup-
ported and flat on the front plate.
Components
After screwing the plates
*
examine the endshake of the arbors in
order to avoid the bearings sticking. To do this, carefully grasp the
arbors with the tweezers and move them toward the pivots. If you
turn the movement over, you should be able to acoustically hear the
arbors fall onto the bearings.
The three guard pillars are
screwed in using M4 x 10
countersunk-head screws.
Screwing this is very impor-
tant to avoid accidental
opening of the movement!
Now secure the front plate
to the pillars using the four
washers and four knurled
nuts.
