Clocks For All Motorcycles, Snowmobiles, Bicycles and Jetskis

General Care, Installation and Operation Instructions

IMPORTANT - READ THIS FIRST!
DO NOT push on the glass face when inserting the clock or thermometer into the holder / mount.
Push on the chrome ring or bezel to insert. Make sure clock or thermometer is inserted all the way into holder / mount before riding or loss and / or damage may result.

When the clock or thermometer has been installed in the holder/mount for a long time and you remove it from the holder/mount to change the time or other reason, the rubber compression ring may stay compressed. To avoid a loose fit put a fresh compression ring on the clock or thermometer ( a spare should have been supplied with the purchase of your new Marlin’s item ). Note the compression rings position before removing it, the wide part of the nub molded into the ring should face up and to the out side of the clock or thermometer. To rejuvenate or expand the used compression ring back to it’s original size, place it in very hot water for a minute or two, then put the ring in cold water and it will bring it back to shape for the next time you need to switch compression rings.
It is recommended when you take the clock or thermometer out of the holder/mount to use some isopropyl alcohol and clean the inside rim of the holder/mount were the clock or thermometer goes to eliminate any dirt or oils that could reduce the gripping power of the compression ring.
*The holder/mount and bezel can be polished and cared for with a quality chrome polish.*
Your new clock or thermometer is waterproof, shock resistant and the numbers may glow in the dark if so equipped. The face must be exposed to a light source before you ride to charge and activate the glow in the dark feature.
SETTING THE TIME: The crown to adjust the time is located behind the rubber ring at the 3 o’clock position. To set the time, carefully pull the crown out and turn it until the desired time is show. Push crown back in to the normal position to restart clock.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT: CAUTION: DO NOT LIFT THE MOVEMENT OUT OF THE CASE
When the clock loses time or stops the battery is due for replacement. The battery is accessible from the backside of the clock. Our clocks are manufactured with a screw on/off back cover. For your convenience we have supplied a tool to easily remove and replace the back cover. If you did not receive the tool for any reason just call or email us. The battery is retained in position by a tiny metal plate. Move the plate sideways to remove battery. Be sure when replacing battery to use the same number or equivalent button cell, with positive pole (+) facing outward. Make sure that it is retained securely in position by the metal plate. Replace cover making sure the O ring is properly in position and will form a satisfactory seal.

TO RE-INSERT YOUR CLOCK OR THERMOMETER INTO THE HOLDER/MOUNT:
You can moisten a paper towel with Windex or similar product, then wipe it on the rubber ring around the clock to help you slide the clock in to the holder. ( Allow the Windex or other product to dry completely before riding. ) Turn the clock in the position you like and push it in place, stem section first, push inward on the chrome edges or bezel of the unit, making sure that the rubber ring is not stuck on the edge of the holder/mount, ( you may use your fingernail or similar object to make sure the rubber ring is in place properly ) and there is no gap so that the unit is firmly in place.

TALON
The TALON Handlebar Mounted Clock or Thermometer fits on 1" bars or may be used on 7/8“ bars utilizing the included clear plastic spacer and cup point set screw.
The TALON comes with either a clock or thermometer, one extra rubber compression ring, one plastic tipped set screw, one cup point tip set screw for use in 7/8” bar installation, one clear 1/16” plastic spacer for use in 7/8” bar installation, one battery replacement tool and billet mount.
1) Carefully remove the billet mount and parts bag from its package.
2) To remove the clock or thermometer pry slowly under the bottom edge of the unit (at the six
    o’clock position on the clock face) with the long flat side of a knife or similar object in a
    screwdriver style motion or use the “Pull Here” tab if so equipped. Make sure that the clock
    does not fall and become damaged.
3A) For 1” handlebar installation Place TALON mount on 1” bars in the position of your choice,
     making sure the mount is sitting down, in contact completely with the handlebars.
