Do's and Dont's

The Do's and Don'ts of Your Clock!

•  Wind your clock every 7 days . Wind all of the holes on your clock until they are tight. You cannot overwind!

•  Do not turn the minute hand backwards at anytime.

Clock with Pendulums:

•  Never move your clock with the pendulum attached. Always remove the pendulum first.

•  If you just brought the clock home, hang it or set it in its spot before reattaching the pendulum. Then hook the pendulum on very carefully causing as little disturbance to the spring above as possible. Once this is finished give the pendulum a swing.

•  If the pendulum was taped down to the back of the case:

•  Hang it or set it where you want it to go.

•  Carefully pull the tape off while holding the pendulum in place. Do not allow the pendulum to be pulled with the tape.

 

To Regulate for Fast or Slow:

The nut at the bottom of your pendulum is responsible for the rate at which your clock keeps time. Before making any adjustments, gently stop the pendulum from swinging and either:

a.) hold in place

b.) remove from hook

Clock is running fast	Clock is running slow
Turn nut down to the left	Turn nut up to the right

*One full turn for every minute per day*

 

If the hour strike does not match the actual time:

1. Bring the minute hand (longest hand) to the hour and count the number of strikes.
2. Move the hour hand (shortest hand) to the number the clock struck (you may go forward or backward with the hour hand). Example: if the clock reads 2:00 and it strikes four, then move the hour hand (shortest hand) forward to 4:00 .
3. Set the clock to the correct time.
