STEP 3
HANGING WEIGHTS
DO NOT REMOVE THE STYROFOAM BLOCKS until after your clock has been
operating. You can remove the styrofoam blocks AFTER they become loose
through normal operation, which typically occurs after eight (8) hours of run time.
Most clocks use three weights. The bottom of each weight is labeled as to its
proper hanging position as you view your clock from the front. The total weight of
each weight is slightly different and each WEIGHT MUST BE INSTALLED IN ITS
CORRECT LOCATION FOR THE CLOCK TO OPERATE PROPERLY. Check the
weights to ensure that they are tightly assembled.
Check to make sure that the cable is in the cable pulley. Hang the weights on the
pulleys. (See figure 4).
STEP 4
SETTING MOON DIAL (available on some models)
With your fingertips, apply slight pressure to the front of the moon dial and rotate
the moon dial clockwise until the moon is directly below the #15 lunar day mark
(each mark represents a lunar day) on the lunar arch (See figure 5).
If the moon dial will not rotate, see the Trouble Shooting Section.
Refer to an almanac or calendar and determine the date of the last full moon.
Count the number of days past the last full moon.
Rotate the moon dial clockwise 1 lunar day for every day past the full moon.
Example: If the last full moon was 3 days ago, rotate the moon dial clockwise 3
lunar days so that the moon is centered at lunar day 18 on the lunar arch.
The moon dial is now set and will indicate the proper moon phases as long as the
clock operates continuously. If the clock stops the moon dial will also stop and can
be reset when the clock is started again.
STEP 5
SETTING TIME (moving the hands)
CAUTION ON MOVEMENTS WITH AUTOMATIC CHIME SEQUENCING:
The chime selection lever should not be in the "Auto" position when moving the
hands. Moving the hands in either the clockwise or counterclockwise direction
while the automatic chime sequencing is in operation could damage the chime
mechanism.
CAUTION ON MOVEMENTS WITH DAY/NIGHT SHUT-OFF FEATURES:
The Day/Night lever must be in the strike position (all the way up) when moving
the hands.
To set the time, move ONLY THE MINUTE HAND counterclockwise
(backwards) until hour and minute hand are at the correct time. (See figure 6).
DO NOT MOVE THE HOUR HAND WHEN SETTING THE TIME. The hour hand will
move automatically when the minute hand is moved. By moving the minute hand
counterclockwise it is not necessary to wait for the clock to chime as the minute
hand passes each quarter hour. (See figure 6). The movement has a self correcting
feature which synchronizes the chimes with the time. If after setting the clock on
time, it does not chime properly, permit it to operate 2 hours to correct itself.
STEP 6
STARTING CLOCK
Reach through the front door of the clock and place your hand on the side of the
pendulum disk.
Move the pendulum to the far left of center and release. Let the clock operate a
few minutes until the pendulum settles into an even swinging motion.
(See figure 7).
If your clock gains or looses time after twenty-four (24) hours, see General
Information Section to regulate the timekeeping of your clock.
AFTER the styrofoam blocks become loose through normal operation, which
typically occurs after eight (8) hours of run time, you can remove the styrofoam
blocks. 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.
