SYNCHRONIZATION OF HOUR STRIKE
If the hour strike and the time do not correspond you will need to make this adjustment. Example: The clock shows 4:00 and
it strikes three times. Follow these instructions for correcting.
1. IF YOUR CLOCK IS SET IN THE SILENT POSITION, MOVE IT TO CHIME.
2. Move the hour hand (shortest) clockwise or counterclockwise to the hour the clock actually struck. (In the example
given above you would move the small hand to point to the "3".) You will notice the hour hand moves
independently of the minute hand.
3. Turn the minute hand (longest) clockwise or counterclockwise to re-set the clock to the correct time.
4. The chime and strike will re-adjust themselves to the proper sequence within one or two hours after you make this
adjustment.
YOUR CLOCK WAS SYNCHRONIZED CORRECTLY PRIOR TO BEING SHIPPED. YOU WILL NOT NEED TO
MAKE THIS ADJUSTMENT UNLESS THE HOUR HAND IS ACCIDENTALLY MOVED WHILE SETTING
THE TIME.
YOU CAN NOT USE THIS ADJUSTMENT TO SET YOUR CLOCK WHEN CHANGING TO DAYLIGHT
SAVINGS TIME OR BACK TO STANDARD TIME.
CORRECT HOUR AND YOU MADE THIS ADJUSTMENT, THE CLOCK WOULD THEN STRIKE THE WRONG
HOUR. SEE STEP 7 ON PAGE 5 FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO SET THE TIME.
MINUTE HAND ADJUSTMENT
The first question you need to answer, is my clock chiming exactly 15 minutes off? Or is my clock chiming less than 15
minutes off?
IF THE ANSWER IS EXACTLY 15 MINUTES OFF
1. Stop the pendulum.
2. Note the position of the minute hand. This will be very important when it is time to replace the minute hand
on the clock. There is no need to remove the hour hand.
3. Remove the small nut holding the hands on the hand shaft. Be careful in doing this as you don't want to scar the
finish on the hands. (Needle nose pliers are good) As you turn the hand nut to the left to loosen, if you will hold the
minute hand still it will be easier to loosen.
4. Grasp the base of the hand (where the hand nut was attached is the base) with your finger tips and pull toward you.
The hourhand will remain on the hand shaft, there is no need to remove both hands.
5. Look at the back of the hand. You will see a square bushing or collar. If your clock was chiming 1 /4 hour off, replace
the hand back on the shaft exactly 1 /4 turn either backward or forward to correct. Replace the hand nut and reset the
time.
IF LESS THAN 15 MINUTES OFF
FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS 1 THROUGH 4 ABOVE AND THEN CONTINUE AS FOLLOWS
5. Turn the minute hand over and look at the back. You will see a bushing or
collar which can be grasped with the pliers. With the hand being held in this
position you will turn the minute hand very slightly. Remember to make
small adjustments. (1 minute is a very short distance on the dial). See
Fig.21 for help in making this adjustment.
6. Replace the hand on the shaft in the same position you removed it. The hand should now be pointing to the corrected
minute. Example: When the clock chimed and you removed the minute hand it was pointing at 7:02. With the
adjustment you just made, the minute hand should now be pointing directly at the 12, making the clock say 7:00. If
it doesn't try the adjustment again until you are satisfied it is correct. Replace the hand nut. As you tighten the nut
if you will hold the minute hand still it will help you tighten the nut correctly.
7. Reset the time by moving the minute hand clockwise or counterclockwise.
