108 Under number 8411,
oouches S.A. Neuen, SwitertandDISASSEMBLING :
Release mainspring by pressing on click indicated by arrow.
Remove balance wheel and pallet fork,
Remove reverser 8146, then mounted operating lever 8140 and fly-back lever 8180 (the
screws of both of these have left-hand threads).
Remove winding stem.
IW the pushers are grooved, remove them before taking the movement out of the case; ifthe
pushers are of the spring or lug type, remove the movement first and the pushers afterwards
Then, in either case, remove hands and dial
Remove mounted hammer 8220 by unscrewing the large screw and cam jumper 8356.
Remove chronograph bridge 8500, minute-recording runner 8020 and chronograph runner
2000.
Remove mounted sliding gear 8100, mounted coupling clutch 8080 and, by means of a fork:
shaped lever, driving wheel 8060.
Remove minute-recording jumper 8270, leaving its rest 8271 on the barrel bridge
Remove coupling clutch spring 8320, sliding gear spring 8325 and friction spring 8290,
Remove plate 8281 of chronograph mechanism and operating lever spring 8335.
Disassemble the movement and clean all its parts in the ordinary way.
CHECKING A:
Check condition of finger and teeth of chronograph runner, coupling wheel and driving wheel. Remove bridge of coupling
wheel, clean the bushings of the latter and see that it runs freely. Do the same for the sliding gear wheel, if necessary,
‘Also clean center wheel tube and see that the inner bushing is in position.
Reassemble the watch movement proper, oil all runners and wind mainspring one turn and a half to check the
running,
It is advisable to remove the balance wheel and pallet fork before reassembling the chronograph mechanism.
ASSEMBLING :
41, Fit operating lever spring 8335 and screw on plate 8281 of chronograph mechanism
2. Screw on friction spring 8290.
3. Fit mounted sliding gear 8100 and its spring 8925,
4 Replace minute-recording runner 8020 and chronograph runner 8000, after oiling the long
pivot of the latter (make sure that friction spring 8290 exerts normal pressure under runner
£000), then replace chronograph bridge 8500.
5. Screw on minute-recording jumper 8270; see that it is under slight tension.
6. Fit mounted operating lever 8140 and fly-back lever 8180 (screws with left-hand threads),
then screw on reverser 8146,
7. Fit mounted hammer 8220, remembering to grease the tube, then screw on cam jumper 8356.
8. Check position of the end of reverser 8146 by looking through the hole in hammer 8220,
Each time operating lever 8140 is pressed, the rotary motion of hammer 8220 is reversed.
9. Oil short pivot of chronograph runner 8000 and both pivots of coupling wheel; then ft
mounted coupling clutch 8080, with its screw, and screw on coupling clutch spring 8320
(Never oil pivots of minute-recording runner or of sliding gear wheel.)
40. Fit driving wheel 8060, which should be flush with the coupling wheel.
41, Make sure that all runners are perfectly free-acting, then replace pallet fork and balance
wheel
CHECKING B:
‘Check depth of gears (driving wheel - coupling wheel; coupling wheel ~ chronograph wheel) and penetration of finger
into sliding gear toothing.
When operating the fly-back action through pressure of the hammer on the hearts, see that the chronograph runner is
blocked; on the other hand, the minule-recording runner should have slight side-shake (the hammer is not pressing
fon the heart). Also make sure thatthe sliding gear wheel is away from the finger, that he hammer arms do not foul the
wheels or the bridge, and that the uncoupling eccentric of the coupling clutch keeps the coupling wheel disconnected from
the chronograph wheel. Slightly grease the hammer where it comes into contact with the fly-back lever pin, withthe un-
‘coupling eccentric of the coupling clutch and with the cam at its point of contact with the sliding gear and cam jumper.
CASING
Spring or lug pushers should be placed in position before casing the movement, but grooved pushers should be placed in
position after casing, the operating lever and, if necessary, the fly-back lever having been unscrewed. Then, in ether case,
Feplace the winding stem, ff the 2 case screws and check the working by means of he pushers. Fitthe dal and the hour
minute and second hands, hen, wth the hammer pressed agalna the hearts by the zerovacton pusher, ft the sweep second
fand minuterecording hands.
