Remove the cardboard sleeve, from around the chime rods
and pendulum guide, by holding the cardboard sleeve at
points 'A' and 'B' and pulling straight down. Pull straight
down and off the ends of the chime rods and pendulum
guide.
Remove the foam pads from between the chime hammers
and chime rods. Care should be taken to avoid bending the
chime hammers. The chime hammers will be free to move
after the cardboard sleeve has been removed, thereby
allowing easy removal of the foam pads.
DO NOT REMOVE THE STYROFOAM BLOCKS
from above the cable pulleys. This is one of the most critical
points in the entire set-up operation. Removing the
styrofoam blocks at this time could cause the cables to
overlap and bind the movement. You can remove the
styrofoam blocks AFTER they become loose through
normal operation, which typically occurs after eight (8)
hours of run time.
D. CHAIN: (Figure 3B)
Remove the foam pads from between the hammers and
chime rods. Care should be taken to avoid bending the chime
hammers and chime rods.
The chains have been packed for shipment in a bag and are
located near the clock movement. Pull the bag free and cut
the string with scissors. Allow the chains to hang.
Remove the retainer(s) by sliding the retainer(s) down off
the chains.
Remove the spring clip from the back side of the movement
by first pulling one end free.

HANGING THE PENDULUM
(Figure 4)
Using the diagram in Figure 4, you will be able to see how
to attach the pendulum to the pendulum leader correctly.
MAKE SURE THE FRONT OF THE PENDULUM
BOB IS FACING TOWARD THE FRONT OF THE
CABINET.
