To Reset the Clerks' Counters to Zero
Unlock Lock No. 8. Put the small resetting key in the hole on the left side of the register (see cut
in front), and turn key from you until it comes to a stop, and the wheels show zero. Remove the
key and move the lever to the next position. Repeat until all counters are reset. Never attempt
to operate the register while the counters are being reset or while the resetting key is in
position.
To bring any of these counters in position to read the amount recorded, place the lever to the
next lower position on the index plate. For example, When the lever is set at “B”, amounts on
the “A” counter can be read.
On registers built with nine counters the lever must be set at “A” position to read the amount
on counter “ N.”
