* Grandfather clocks always need to be set up on a horizontal surface. This appears to be very elementary but it is essential.
When setting the clock against the wall you might perhaps find out that the rug or carpet is not uniformly thick. Or maybe the the floor surface is at a different height at the location where it meets the wall.
If the clock lists towards one direction you will need to alter the surface so that it stands vertical.
* The Pendulums On Clocks have a distinguishable front side. The front of the pendulum is usually the the polished face.
The grandfather clock pendulum must swing free without touching the sides of the case. If it comes into contact with the case perhaps it means that the case does not stand erect.
* The weight sets that are the clocks power supply should stand free of impediments. They should collide with the pendulum or the sides of the clock casing when they descend.
* When you set the pendulum swinging check it out for a steady ticking sound. The ticking sounds should be unvarying.
If the ticking sound is irregular it might be because the clock leans away from vertical. Do some experimentation and make necessary alterations.
* When correcting the time do not turn the clock hands back further than just a few minutes. Do not ever move them backwards across the twelve o clock mark.
It is okay to shift the hands forward. When shifting across the twelve mark hold on till the clock has completed sounding the hour before moving on.
* If your clock runs too fast or too slow shift the length of the pendulum.
Increase the length to lessen the clocks speed. Trim back the pendulum length to have the clock pick up pace.
