Understanding majestic radio sherwood grandfather clock
* Pendulum clocks always need to be set up on a plane surface that is even. This is a very basic point but it is also very important.
When positioning it in front of the wall you might perhaps notice that the surfacing or carpet thickness is not uniform. Or perhaps the floor is uneven at the point where it meets the wall.
If the case tends to lean to one side you will need to get the clock vertical.
* The Pendulums On Clocks have an identifiable front side. The front of the pendulum most often is the the flat polished side.
The pendulum of the clock should swing free of all sides of the case. If it strikes against the walls of the case it could be that the case lists to one side.
* The group of weights that actuate the clock should be free and clear of obstructions. They should not come into contact with the pendulum or the clocks sides when they drop.
* When you start up the clock by swinging the pendulum check for a steady tick sound. The sounds should be regular and even.
If the sound is not even it is quite likely because the clock case is not exactly vertical. Try out different positions and make changes as necessary.
* When you change the time do not shift the hands of the clock towards the back more than just a few minutes. Do not under any circumstances run the clock hands back by the number twelve.
It is okay to turn the clock hands forward. When moving past the mid day mark pause till the clock has finished striking the bell at the hour mark before carrying on.
* If your clock goes too fast increase or decrease the length of the pendulum arrangement.
Lengthen the pendulum to step down the pace. Shorten the pendulum to to make the clock go more quickly.
If you find it difficult to set up the long case clock request the dealer to set it up. Enjoy the aura of grandeur your clock brings to your living room!
