Notes on new haven longcase clock
* A longcase clock must stand on a level ground or surface. This is a straightforward point but it is vitally important.
When positiioning the grandfather clock flush against the wall you may observe that the floor covering is lumpy and not even. Or it is possible that the the floor surface is at a different height at the point where it meets the wall.
If the case leans towards one direction it is critical to bring it back to vertical.
* The Pendulums On Clocks have front and back sides that are distinguishable. The front end most often is the the flat side.
The grandfather clock pendulum remain free of the sides of the case. Should it collide with the walls perhaps it means that the case tilts away from vertical.
* The arrangement of weights that power the mechanism should be free of the pendulum. They should not come into contact with the pendulum or the sides of the clock as they drop.
* When you set the pendulum swinging check for a constant ticking sound. The tick tocks should be stable and regular.
If it is not regular it is quite likely because the case is not standing up straight. Try creating a level surface and make required alterations.
* When adjusting time do not turn your clocks hands towards the back further than just a few minutes. Never run the clock hands backwards by the mid night mark.
You can safely move the hands of the clock forward. When turning them past the number twelve hold on till the grandfather clock is through with striking the bell at the hour mark before you continue.
* If the grandfather clock gains or loses time decrease or increase the length of the pendulum arrangement.
Add to its length to slow down the clocks pace. Reduce the pendulum length to to speed up the clock.
