Operating Instructions

1. 

Silent Lever.

 Most River City 

Cuckoo clocks have a “silent” lever 

on the side or bottom of the case. 

Place the lever in the “on” position 

if you want your clock to “cuckoo” 

and play music (on models so 

equipped). In the “silent” or “off” 

position, , both cuckoo and music 

are silenced. Avoid placing the lever 

on “silent” as the cuckoo is sound-

ing; you may, however, move the 

lever to “on” at any time.
