Adjusting Pendulum Length
:
At the base of the Pendulum is an adjustable nut on a long thread.
The length of the Pendulum can be varied by turning the nut in one direction or the other. It is best
to make small adjustments (a few turns only) when starting, and to reduce the number of turns used
as the accuracy of the timepiece improves from minutes to hours and on to days and weeks. It may
be necessary to make this adjustment every few weeks to maintain accurate time keeping.
Note
: The length of the Pendulum determines the speed of the clock..
(Longer = Slower / Shorter = Faster)
Installation
:
To locate the exact position for mounting,
use the Center of the case width as a reference
for the
center of the Dial
. Adjust the position of the dial up or down to suit case height or door position.
Follow the instructional diagrams in this booklet to locate the positions.
Provided you were successful in following the instructions and procedure outlined in this booklet
you will now be familiar with the operation of your timepiece.
Install the movement to you completed timber case and repeat (if necessary), the steps already
practiced for ensuring the correct and accurate operation of your Timepiece
Maintenance
:
Provided with your clock movement is a small bottle of special High Grade Superfine Synthetic
Clock Oil.
Oiling is a simple matter but it cannot be done without removing the dial and taking the movement
out of the case. Every pinion hole must be oiled with one drop of oil, and any excess of oil must be
wiped away when finished.
It is recommended that your movement be oiled and if necessary cleaned every 4 / 5 years, (More
often for Coastal Areas due to salt build up and corrosion) regularly service movements will
function perfectly for many years......
Note
: Check the operation of your timepiece at regular intervals, inspect all
surfaces and pinion bearings for dust, dirt, corrosion and wear.
