On the model that I have you set the time by pulling the dial out and turning it to the current time. If it does not "seat" fully when you release the dial it will not engage teh timer gear. Make sure it is seated by trying to move it slightly in both directions. If it turns frely it is not seated. If there is some resistance (don't force it) then it is seated and should keep correct time. If you have moved the manual lever to the ON position and the lights still do not work you need to make sure the power to the time clock is live. The timer motor (and the lights) will not work if the power supply is off. If the power is on and the lights still aren't working on Manual then there is a problem beyond the time clock (broken wire, burned out bulbs, etc.).

How do I set it and can I use it indoors?

I see nothing in the manual that says 'outdoor use only' EXCEPT timer runs on photoelectric eye.
Timer turns ON automatically at dusk, so if timer is inside, and indoor lights are ON, then timer stays OFF.

http://www.intermatic.com/products/timers/consumer%20outdoor%20timers/electromechanical%20timers/hb51rc.aspx

To use timer outdoors.
Plug timer into wall.
Timer turns ON automaically at Dusk.
Rotate dial to set how long timer will stay ON.
Set timer to turn OFF 2 4 6 8 Hours after dusk
Set timer to turn off at dawn
Set timer to ON so lights are ON full time
Set timer to OFF so lights are off full time.

Timer does not activate setting wheel. Stays on or off all the time.

1) If wheel is not turning, then replace motor

http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/wwg/search.shtml?searchQuery=Wh40&op=search&Ntt=Wh40&N=0&sst=subset
There are numbers printed on clock motor. Also look inside door to see model number of timer. If you have a T101 or T103, T104 the T100 motor will work.

2) If manual override is not working, then replace whole timer.

3) You can buy same timer, and then swap insides without replacing box. For example if you have T101R, the R stands for rain-tight box. Buy T101 and swap insides. Keep in mind T103 and T104 and T101 are not interchangeable due to wiring differences.

Describe your Intermatic &amp;amp;amp;

Is the time clock rotating through the off tripper? If so, and the pump stays on, it's not wired right. Check the wiring at the clock for the pump.

Intermatic pool pump timer, time clock won't turn

Check your wiring, it sounds like it's not right. The clock needs 120 volts to run.
