Inputs on 1972 howard miller grandfather clock
* A pendulum clock work fine only if they are set up on a horizontal surface. This is a very basic point but it is vitally important.
When setting it in front of the wall you may notice that the carpet or floor covering thickness is not uniform. Or it may be that the flooring lacks evenness towards the wall.
If the clock leans towards one side you must first bring it back to vertical.
* The Pendulums On Clocks have a distinguishable front side. The front of the pendulum most often is the the flat highly polished side.
The pendulum of the grandfather clock remain without touching any side of the case. Should it hit the walls it could be that the clock leans to one side.
* The weight sets that drive the mechanism should be free and clear of obstructions. They should not touch the pendulum or the clock casing as they come down.
* When you start the pendulum moving listen for a steady tick tock sound. It should be regular and even.
If it is not regular it might be because the case is not vertical. Try to level the surface and make necessary alterations.
* When adjusting time avoid turning the hands of your clock back more than a few minutes. Do not under any circumstances shift them rearwards across the mid day mark.
It is ok to run the hands of the clock forward. When moving over the twelve o clock mark wait until your antique clock has finished sounding the hour before carrying on.
* If your longcase clock runs too slow or too fast shift the length of the pendulum arrangement.
Add to the pendulums length to diminish the clocks speed. Decrease the pendulum length to to quicken the pace.
