Inductor type of construction, same as our Model Hand HT, assuring an exceed­ingly hot spark at as low a speed as the engine can be run.

Has no moving wires, contacts or collector rings. The winding is stationary, making the simplest form of construction.

Will fire any kind of fuel at all speeds under all weather conditions.

Dimensions conform to S. A. E. Standards.

Enclosed as protection against dirt, water and oil.

For engines which are hard to crank, use Model T equipped with Impulse Starter deai~nated as Model TK.

The Impulse Starter Attachment, illus­trated on end of driving shaft above, allows the motor to be started regardless of cranking speed, as the rotor is held station­ary while the coupling is moving 80 de­grees, then is tripped and thrown ahead at the rate of 500 r. p. m., assuring a very hot spark for starting.

After a predetermined engine speed haa been reached, the starter coupling is auto­matically thrown out of engagement and the Magneto is driven direct.

It also eliminates any chance of a back fire, as the relation of the piston position to the firing point of Magneto is controlled by the Starter until it has thrown out of engagement, when it is controlled by the circuit breaker.

CIRCUIT BREAKER

141

Circuit Breaker

194

The entire circuit breaker is remov­able for inspection and adjustment, a feature which can be more rc.'ldily ap­preciated when the l\Iagneto must be mounted in an inaccessible place.

The same type of circuit breaker is used on all K-W 1\Iagnetos and is pro­vided with 30 degrees of travel for ad vance or retard.

To remove circuit breaker it is only necessary to push aside the contact spring, when the entire breaker box may be withdmwn.

CLEVELAND, OHIO

THE DIRECTION OF ROTATION

Be sure the ~fagncto when installed is run­ning in direction as stamped by arrow on bear­ing cap. This is "Clockwise" or Right-hand, or "Anti clockwise" or Left-hand. ~Jagnetos will not operate in opposite direction to that for which they arc intended.

TO CHAN GE DIRECTION OF ROTATION Take off cam and tum it around end for end. Then remove distributor

block, which will expose the distributor moulding and segment. Remove the screws and set over to the other set of holes and d raw screws up tight. Do not make this change unless you arc a mechanic, as we are not responsible for damage from improper handling.

On magnetos equipped with impulse starter the starter must be changed for one of the opposite direction. as it cannot be reversed.

MAGNETO MOUNTING AND DRIVE Model T Magnetos must be mounted on a brass or aluminum base

or separated from an iron base by at least half an inch of non-magnetic mate­rial. If mounted on an iron base, usc a brass or fibre separator with brass bolts. If l\Iagneto is to be held down by a strap, it should be made of brass.

When bolts are used, be sure they arc not too long, as they should go into l\fagneto only h of an inch; otherwise they will break through the base and strike the rotor.

The most satisfactory mcth<{d of drhing is by gear or Oldham coupling but if neither of these drives is applicable, sprocket and chain may be used, but this method is not recommended if over 9" centers are used, on account of the slack due to the stretching of the chain and so many wearing points to throw the Magneto out of time.

The l\fagncto must be positiYcly driven at engine speed for 1, 2 and 4 cylinder, 4 cycle engines, and 1, 2 and 4 cylinder, 2 cycle engines. For 3 and 6-cylindcr engines the :\tagneto must be driven one and one-half times engine speed.

TO TIME MAGNETO

Set piston on center on firing stroke. Put circuit breaker "A" in full re­tard position. Turn r.fagneto shaft until distributor segment is on brush No. 1, which is the lower left hand terminal post. (The segment can be seen through the window in center of distributor block.) Continue turning shaft until the points in circuit breaker are separating. T~is is the firing point of Magneto and it must be coupled to engine in this position.

When one cylinder is all right, proceed to connect the others as follows: Ascertain the firing order of the motor, then crank engine slowly and connect plug cable from next cylinder that fires to distributor segment No. 2 and so on until all the plug cables are connected. The Secondary connections on the Distributor Block are numbered in consecutive order-!, 2, 3, 4. etc. These numbers do not refer to the engine cylinders, and it is necessary to determine the order in which the cylinders fire and connect secondary cables accordingly. Pin Magneto shaft to gear or coupling with taper pin; do not depend on a set screw. as it will surely work loose in time.

TO WIRE A SWITCH

Sketch Shows W iring for Firing Order 1-2-4-3

Remove nut "A" and fasten wire, which runs to switch. Connect other side of switch to any convenient place on engine frame'•for ground.

When the switch makes connection it short-c1rcuits the magneto and stops engine. When the connection is made or the circuit closed it stops the engine. When the connection is open the magneto is ready for operation. The switch is, therefore, not essential for running, but on!~ for stopping.

Use a good grade of insulated wire for wiring the switch and see that it is not in position to get oil soaked.

TO CONNECT SPARK ADVANCE

Put circuit breaker in full retard position and retard spark quadrant on steering wheel to its limit, and connect in this position.

6 THE K-W IGXlTI01 CO.

IN CASE OF TROUBLE Sec that all nuts are tight; that the retainer spring is making good contact,

and all wires leading to the spark plugs are connect ed or making good con­nections.

Sec that the magneto is revolving in the direction of rotation as stamped by the arrow on the driving end.

Check up the tin1ing to see that the magneto is timed correctly. It may be possible a set screw has been used in connecting the coupling or gear to the shaft and has loosened. After the magneto has been p roperly timed and tem­porarily set with a set screw, a taper pin should be inserted to prevent slipping:

Look at the distributor and sec that it is free from carbon dust. Open up the circuit breaker and see that it is not flooded with oil and no

oil is on the contact points. The proper adjustment for these points is n of an inch apart when they break.

Jf t he magneto fails to start the engine examine the switch and see that . it breaks the ground connection when the switch is in the operating position.

To test the magneto, pull off one secondary wire from the plug. hold it about Vs of an inch away from magnets and turn engine to give magneto one quick turn at the proper cylinder. A good spark should be thrown.

SPARK PLUGS Remove ihe spark plugs, examine them carefully to see that they are not

cracked, short circuited and ihat the spark plug points are not too far apart. The proper adjustment of spark plug points for the K-W Magneto is -h of an inch apart.

See that ihe spark plug points reach down into the cylinder deep enough to get to the good mixture. It sometimes happens that spark plugs a re used with too short a barrel, firing in a chamber ihat pockets some of t he exhaust gas .

CARE OF MAGNETO Once a month clean out the distributor with a soft cloth, removing any

carbon dust ihat may haYe worn off the carbon brushes. Once a month remove the circu it breaker and clean out any surplus oil.

Ma ke sure thai the contact points are clean and thai no oil has lodged on them. Oil on the breaker points is an insulation and will cause hard starting and probable missing at low speed. Replace the circuit breaker box. De sure that the contact spring hu:; been properly replaced, and nut is tight .

Once a month the bearings should be oiled, using a good grade of light oil. One oil hole will be found on top of distributor housing, which oils both the

CLEVELAND, OHIO 7

distributor bearing and front main bearing. The other oil hole will be found on rear bearing cap.

Put a drop of light lubricating oil on circuit breaker roller about once a month. Use care not to get too much on. A good method to apply a small drop of oil is by the usc of an ordinary writing pen.

CAUTION. Keep starter free from gummy oil and any fo reign substance. Clean with gasoline occasionally.

IMPORTANT \Then ordering repair parts always gi\·e ~Iagncto :\fodel and Number, also

number of Cylinders. Pnrts to be replacl.'<l free within limit of guarantee must be returned to us by mail or express, prepaid.

Do not send :\Tagnctos by parcel post. Be sure l\fagnctos arc properly packed to prevent breakage in transit. Put name and complete address of sender on the box, so we can identify it when received, ancl give serial number when writing.

A FEW DON'TS Don't solder new contacts to the old parts as solder spoils the contacts.

In replacing contacts get entire parts direct from us. Don't get busy to adjust the breaker box as soon as trouble develops. The

trouble is very rarely found in the adjustment of the circuit breaker of the K-W l\fagneto and if you take the time to check up the system complete, in nine cases out of ten the difficulty will be located elsewhere.

Don't tinker with the circuit breaker adjustment unless the points either fail to separate or the gap is too great. The proper distance of the points is about lr of an inch.

Don't fi ll the breaker box with grease, vaseline or oil. See oiling d irections under the heading, "Care of Magneto," and follow them carefully.

Don't hammer on end of l\Iagneto shaft, nor attempt to force gears or coupling on if too tight, as this is liable to put bearings out o[ adjustment.

While the l\lagneto is as nearly water-proof as we can make it, don't flood it when cleaning the car as any high tension instrument works better when dry.

Don't take off the magnets. When dis-assembling a magneto, a keeper must be placed across the magnets before removal from the magneto. Re­magnctizing K-W l\Iagnetos is not necessary unless a battery cttrrent has accidentally been shunted through them. If for any reason it should be neces­sary to remagnetize or repair a magneto. would advise having the instrument returned to us or one o[ our aULhoriz<.'<.l K-W Scn·ice Stations. A list of which will be sent upon request.

IMPULSE STARTER TO T IME MODE L TK MAGNETO TO ENGINE

Put piston in No. 1 cylinder on center on firing stroke.

Trip ratchet catch TS-l 1

into engagement. Turn im­pulse starter until cam on starter case TS-1 is starting to throw TS-11 out of engage­ment.

This is the proper place to couple magneto to drive shaft.

TO OPERATE STARTER By pressing down on back end of ratchet catch Lock TS-8, Ratchet catch

TS-11 will be released and allowed to engage with notch on Ratchet TS-4, which is keyed to the rotor, holding it stationary while case TS-1 is moving 80° and compressing spring TS-23. When the cam on case TS-1 releases catch TS-11, the rotor is thrown ahead with a rush, causing an exceedingly hot spark to be delivered. This will continue until a pre-determined engine speed has been reached when the starter is thrown out of engagement and the i\lagneto is driven direct through the starter coupling.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING IMPULSE STARTER TO MODEL T NOT ALREADY EQUIPPED

Remove the two screws shown at".\ " and insert two studs TS-14. Bracket TS-10 is mounted against the face of these studs followed by washers TS-12 a~d ratchet catch TS-11 on right side and ratchet catch lock TS 8 on left side, these parts being held in position by screw TS-15 on right side and screw TS-16 on left side for cloch.·wisc rotation, TS-9, 11, 15, 16 are rc\'ersed for anti­clockwise rotation. The starter case completely assembled is slipped on taper shaft and held in position by nut T-76 and cotter pin.

To adjust the speed at which the starter throws out, loosen lock nut TS-20 and turn adjusting screw TS-18 up or down until properly set and then lock with nut.

CLEVELAXD, OHIO 11

TO INSERT SPRINGS IN IMPULSE STARTER Remove nut T 7tl ancl withdraw case TS 2 which will expose spring TS-23

and spring TS-21 which ean then be taken out and replaced easily.

Cut shows Starter for anti-clock:wise magneto. For clockwise rotation, pin "B" and spring "C" will be on opposite side of pin "D."

Spring "C" is placed in groove of Starter Case and against pin "D." Spring "A" is then started in groo,·e against the other side of pin "D" and should be gradually compres.'ied by using a screw driver or some sharp tool until it drops into place between pin"])" and end of spring "C."

The end of spring"A," which is next to spring "C," should be left slightly raised.

Pin "B" is ri\·eted to the ratchet. and when ratchet is inserted in case should rest against the end of spring "A." By gi\'ing a sharp twist to the left, spring "A" will be compressed, so by putting a downward pres.<>ure on ratchet, pin "B" will drop between the two springs, leaving starter completely assembled, as shown in cut.

CAUTION: Do not assemble starter without using spring "C," as this will not only put magneto out of time, hut will also cause the breaking of pins "B" and "D."

The Impulse Starter holds back the rotor of the Magneto until the firing point of the engine is reached, when it is tripped and by means of a spring is driven forward at a high rate of speed, producing a hot starting spark in the cylinder.

It is intended for all large engines that ordinarily have to be started by turning the fly­wheel over with a crow-bar, or where it is impossible to get any speed by hand cranking.

The Type HT (Models !ITS and IITK) are the most powerful Magnetos made. It is the type used as standard equipment by several large stationary engine builders, and starts large 400 H. P. !50-pound compression engines with less than half the compressed air it takes to start on batteries-no other l'vlagneto is strong enough to start on its own power, but requires batteries. The largest marine or auto engine is a mere pigmy compared to these large en~ines, thus demonstrating the hot K-W spark and eaee o! starting.
