1. When the clock starts to chime, stop the pendulum and record the time.

2. Using pliers, carefully remove the small nut that holds the minute hand in

place by turning the nut counterclockwise while at the same time hold the minute

hand with your fingers near the small nut.

3. Remove the hand from the hand shaft by grasping it with your fingers at the

point where it attaches to the shaft. Pull the hand straight off. This hand is not

screwed on and should come off easily. The minute hand has a small raised area

on the back side directly around the shaft hole, this is the hand bushing. Using

pliers, grip the bushing firmly by its sides so that it cannot slip in the pliers. With

your other hand, turn the clock hand forward or backward the distance necessary

to chime at the correct time. (See figure 19).

4. Re-attach the hand to the shaft and turn the hand nut finger tight. Make sure

the hand points to the correct location that you recorded in Step 1 plus any

corrections you made in step 3. If the hand does not point to the correct mark,

repeat steps 2 and 3.

5. Snug up the hand nut with the pliers. Do not over tighten.

6. Start pendulum.

7. Re-set the time by moving 

ONLY THE MINUTE HAND

 counterclockwise

(backwards) as described in Step 5 of the set-up operation.

EXAMPLE: Clock chimes at 1:10 but should chime at 1:15.

Step 1: When clock chimes at 1:10 stop the pendulum and record the time of 1:10.

Step 2: Carefully remove the small nut. Step 3: Remove the minute hand. Grip the

bushing by its sides and turn the hand forward 5 minutes. Step 4: Reattach the

hand so it points to 1:15. Attach the hand nut finger tight. Step:5 Snug up the

hand nut. Step 6: Start pendulum. Step 7: Reset clock to current time.

CLOCK DOES NOT STRIKE THE CORRECT HOUR

If after several hours of operation your clock does not strike the correct hour, 

grasp the 

HOUR HAND ONLY

 and move it forward or backward to line up with 

the correct hour on the dial indicated by the number of times the hour strikes. 

Rotating this hand independently will not damage the clock. If the minute hand 

needs to be reset (to correct time), move the minute hand counterclockwise 

(backwards) as described in Step 5: Setting Time.

CLOCK WILL NOT CHIME OR STRIKE

1. Make sure that the selection lever is not in the “silent” position or halfway

between two chime melody positions?

2. Make sure that all the packing material is removed from the movement area.

3. Make sure that the weights are hanging in the correct location Check the label

on the bottom of each weight to ensure proper location.

4. For models with nighttime silencing, make sure that the clock is not in the

nighttime silence mode. (Reference: See AUTOMATIC NIGHTTIME SHUT OFF

OPTION in General Information Section).

5. Check hammer adjustment and correct chime tone as necessary.

6. Move the chime selection lever to a different melody or to “silent”.

7. It is possible that the styrofoam blocks located above the cable pulleys are

binding the cable. Carefully remove the styrofoam blocks by lifting the blocks

straight up until they clear the cable pulley. Then gently push them back through

the cables. Do not use tools to remove the blocks. Do not permit the cable to

overlap on the drum.

CHIMES HAVE THE INCORRECT TONE

DO NOT ADJUST CHIME HAMMERS,

 unless the chime tone is incorrect. Chime

tone may be affected by the hammers resting on the chime rods or striking the rods
