Assembling
the Movement
Securing the Click
The click can now be secured by adding the ratchet wheel cock:
◊
Ratchet wheel
*
cock
Compartment (19)
◊
2 x cylinder-head screws M4 x 6
Compartment (19)
In order to ensure the ratchet wheel cock is secured, make sure that
the two cylinder-head screws M4 x 6 are securely tightened.
To avoid damage to the Gear train
*
when the Spring barrel
*
is
tensioned, the front and back plates must be screwed together with
three guard pillars
*
in addition to the four movement pillars. Thus it
is guaranteed that the ratchet wheel cock and click are removed
before the front and back plates
*
are separated. The click may only
be taken apart and removed if the Spring barrel is not tensioned.
Components
Safety Precaution:
Be aware of
possible injury
by the oil syringe.
For this reason,
please make sure
it is out of reach
of children at
all times.
Safety Precaution:
The Spring barrel
may only be
tensioned after
the assembly
of the ratchet wheel
cock and escapement
to avoid danger
of injury.
Only use the oil made espe-
cially for clocks delivered
with this kit in the syringe
—Möbius Microgliss D5—
and follow directions on
how to properly lubricate in
the section »Using the
Tools« on page 29 of this
booklet.
Oiling the Click
The Gear train of your Mechanica M2 runs on ball bearings, which
should not be lubricated.
The click, however, should be lubricated with a small drop of oil in
three spots around the circumference of the ratchet wheel
*
and the
set pin of the ratchet. Be careful, though: too much oil is just as bad
as no oil at all.
