Manual for tork s5703za

I can't find a Tork S5703ZA timer. Home Depot has a Tork SS703ZA Smart timer manual here: https://images.homedepot-static.com/catalog/pdfimages/e5/e58965ff-c4da-4d2c-b62d-accd1249d990.pdf . To reset the clock, simply press the Reset button. To clear all of the settings in the timer, press Enter, then press Del, followed by pressing Enter again. See page 2 of the manual for these directions.

I hope this helps.

Tork 651 timer is dawn-dusk that automatically turns on at dusk.
Open following link to identify timer and download instructions:

If you want ordinary 24-hour on-off timer for outdoors, instead of dawn-dusk timer, then select Tork 611A or Tork 601, or Tork 611 timer shown on same link above.

I do not know how to set timer have tork 1011 24 hour timer

Open following link to identify timer, with information for trippers and replacement clock motor:
http://waterheatertimer.org/Tork-timers-and-manuals.html#1101

The clock motor rotates analog timer dial clockwise as time passes.
Trippers on the dial move lever that rotates a cam that opens and closes electric circuit.
To set current time, manually rotate timer dial until current time lines up with the word Timer located near the 5 o'clock position.
If the dial is not rotating oe keeping good time, then clock motor is bad.
If trippers don't move the lever, then trippers are worn down.

Tork timer "time clock motor"kaput...someone set

You posted under Tork 8601 timer:
I don't think that clock motor is sold separately.
New timer costs 115 at Chapman:
http://shop.chapmanelectric.com/tork-8601-minute-120v-spdt-p-2361-l-en.html

120Volt Tork clock motor that fits some models is sold at frontier for $43:
http://www.frontierlighting.com/product.jsp?part=10431&process=search&show=&ID=,Photo.Cells...Time.Controls,Replacement.Motors

Usually the clock motor is held with 2 screws and then wires attach to screw terminals.
Look close at your screw terminals to see clock wires.
Normally timer mechanism snaps out of box and clock motor is on back of mechanism.
