* Grandfather clocks work well only provided they stand on a plane and even surface. This sounds basic but it is very important.
When positioning the longcase clock flush against the wall you might perhaps find out that the floor carpeting thickness is irregular. Or maybe the flooring lacks evenness at the wall junction.
If the case tends to tilt towards one side you should correct it.
* Pendulums have distinct front and back sides. The front side is generally the the flat part.
The longcase clock pendulum should swing free of all sides of the case. If it collides with the case it may mean that the case stands at an angle.
* The arrangement of weights that power the clock should be free of obstructions. They should not brush against the pendulum or the casing as they drop.
* When you start up the clock by swinging the pendulum check for a steady ticking sound. It should be stable and regular.
If you hear an uneven sound it might be because the clock case does not stand up straight. Try out some experiments and adjust as needed.
* When you correct the time do not turn the hands of the longcase clock backwards further than a few minutes. Do not ever run them back past the twelve mark.
You are safe in moving the clock hands forwards. When shifting them past the mid day mark hold on till the grandfather clock has finished sounding the hour chime before you go on.
* If the clock runs too slow increase or decrease the length of the pendulum arrangement.
Add to its length to slacken the pace of the clock. Decrease the length of the pendulum to to accelerate the clock.
