Assembling
the Movement
Put the Intermediate wheel on the Intermediate wheel Pillar
Please heed the correct installation position. By screwing the cylinder-
head screws M1.4 x 3 into the Intermediate wheel pillar, you will
ensure that the Intermediate wheel is in the correct position.
Components
The Allen key with the width of 0.9 mm can be a help to you in
doing this if you put it into the loosely screwed Allen locking screw
M2 x 2—which is directly underneath the hand.
Assembling the Dial train
In order to add the Dial train
*
, you will need:
◊
Canon pinion
*
with counterweight
*
Compartment (22)
◊
Allen locking screw M2 x 2
Compartment (22)
◊
Intermediate wheel
*
Compartment (22)
◊
Cylinder-head screw M1.4 x 3
Compartment (22)
◊
Hour wheel
*
with Hour wheel pipe
Compartment (22)
◊
Minute hand
Compartment (17)
Adding the Canon Pinion with Counterweight
To avoid dynamic imbalance of the Center wheel arbor, the Canon
pinion
*
already comes with the counterbalance matching the minute
hand pressed in. Put the Canon pinion
*
with counterbalance on the
Center wheel arbor.
Aligning the Minute Hand in Relation to the Counterbalance
Before you fixate the Canon pinion
*
with the already screwed-in
Allen locking screw M2 x 2, put the minute hand on the square
of the Minute wheel arbor and align the counterbalance in relation
to the hand (see illustration).
Safety precaution:
Only test the gear
train if the plates
and ratchet wheel
cock are secured!
Don’t put your fingers
between the plates
to grab the wheels.
The quickly moving
wheels can injure you!
Add the Hour wheel
Then slide the Hour wheel pipe with the pressed-on Hour wheel onto
the Minute wheel arbor.
Check the Gear train for Ease of Movement
After having secured the Dial train
*
to the movement within the
Quarter wheel by tightening the Allen locking screw M2 x 2, set the
movement upright. Now, put the winding key on the square of
the core. Test the entire Gear train for ease of movement by
carefully tensioning the mainspring
*
by just one ratchet wheel
*
tooth in a clockwise direction. It is where it should be if it continues
to smoothly and evenly rotate due to inertia.
