Why is my pool pump timer not working?

Why is my pool clock not working properly?
As the hours of swimming pool use increase during the peak swimming season, you may need to adjust these pins periodically. Keep the pool timer clock dial free of the on and off pins. If the dial hand gets bent, it may snag on the pins keeping the pool timer from operating properly. You can easily straighten the dial hand.
