1) To disable the timer, turn off circuit breaker and take wires off of the terminals. Put wire nut over each wire, and circuit will no longer operate.
2) If you want the circuit to operate without timer, then take wires off terminals. Twist black wires together and cover with wire nut. Twist white wires together and cover with wire nut.
3) Buy Intermatic T-101 timer to replace Paragon 4001 timer

Paragon 4001 is 120Volt SPST indoor timer.

I've never seen knock-outs for these timers on top because the timing mechanism is in the way.
Turn timer sideways, the timing mechanism still works.

Open following link to identify timer and download manual

1) Paragon 4000 series uses X2772 tripper.
2) Internet search for tripper reveals some sources selling set of trippers for $50.
Paragon is no longer making timers or parts, except for defrost series timers.
4000 series is not a defrost timer, which explains high price for trippers.
Some sources might still have X2772 tripper at lower price.
3) Other companies are still manufacturing some Paragon timers for niche sales.
Certainly the Paragon line is still active although names and numbers will probably change over next few years.
4) I cannot specifically identify 4001-0g, and the 'g' suffix does not show in sell sheet

SOURCE: i need trippers for timer
1) Paragon is no longer making X2772 trippers for the 4000 series timer.
Some places may still sell the X2772 tripper.
http://waterheatertimer.org/Paragon-timers-and-manuals.html#4000
2) I saw X2772 trippers for $60 spring 2011. And the ad did not say the trippers were new.
3) Buy replacement T101 Intermatic timer for less than that.
Example at Amazon showing T101 indoor timer: For outdoor timer, buy T101R.
