Tips about 30 hour longcase case only
* A grandfather clock always need to be set up on a level ground or surface. This sounds basic but it is very important.
When placing the longcase clock adjacent to the wall you may ascertain that the rug or carpet is not uniformly thick. Or it may be that the the floor surface is at a different height at the point where it meets the wall.
If the case tilts away from vertical it is important to set it right.
* Pendulums have a distinct front side. The pendulums front is commonly the the side that is polished and more or less flat.
The pendulum of the clock should hang free from all sides of the case. If it brushes against the case it could be that the clock does not stand vertical.
* The weights that supply the clock with power should stand clear of the pendulum and walls. They should not touch the pendulum or the clocks sides when they fall.
* When you start up the pendulum check it out for a steady tick sound. The ticking sounds should be regular and evenly spaced.
If you hear an irregular sound it is possibly because the surface is not horizontal. Try to make the case stand right and do whatever adjustments are needed.
* When adjusting time do not shift the clock hands back by more than a few minutes. Do not ever run them backwards past the twelve mark.
It is ok to run the hands forwards. When running them past the twelve o clock mark hold back until your antique clock has completed striking the hour before continuing.
* If the grandfather clock loses or gains time decrease or increase the linear dimensions of the pendulum.
Step up the length to step down the pace. Reduce the pendulum length to to quicken the clock.
