CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Use only a soft and dry cloth to clean the clock. Dust and
particles contained in the cloth could scratch parts. Do not
use any kind of cleaning products to wipe the clock (except
for the caterpillar tracks). It is recommended to keep the
clock distant from any source of heat or vibrations. To pre-
serve the longevity and functionality of Sherman, do not
permanently expose the clock to direct sunlight or in a
humid or dusty place.
Our clocks are developed to ensure optimal accuracy and
reliability. It is well accepted for a fine mechanical clock to
have a few seconds’ variation per day and our clocks are set
so as not to delay. However if you should notice a bigger
variation, please contact an authorized dealer who will
advise you, or a L’Epée 1839 technical support center which
will proceed with the necessary adjustment.
As for all Horological pieces of art, it is recommended to
periodically service your clock. A mechanical masterpiece
requires fine oils for the lubrication of the movement.
These oils deteriorate over the years. We therefore advise
having the movement serviced every 3 to 5 years. Be aware
that the optimal period between servicing times can vary
depending on the surrounding environmental conditions.
It is recommended not to hold Sherman only by the helmet
or the arms.
Do not roll Sherman too quickly forward or backward, which
could result in the caterpillar tracks disengaging from the
rollers.
