Tips and facts about pulaski furniture grandfather clock
* Pendulum clocks always need to stand on a flat surface. This sounds simple but it is crucial.
When setting the longcase clock adjacent to the wall you might discover that the carpet or floor covering is not uniform in thickness. Or it is possible that the flooring is non uniform near the wall.
If the case is standing at a slight angle to one side or the other you should make up for it.
* Clock Pendulums have distinct front and back sides. The front of the pendulum in most cases is the the side that is flat.
The pendulum and bob should hang free from all sides of the case. Should it collide with the walls maybe it means that the case stands at an angle.
* The weight sets that are the clocks power supply should be free of obstructions. They should not touch the pendulum or the clock walls as they drop.
* When you set off the pendulum swinging check for a steady ticking sound. The tick tocks should be stable and regular.
If the sound is not even it is probably because the case tilts to one side. Try to straighten it out and make necessary alterations.
* When you correct the time do not shift the clock hands back more than a few minutes. Never shift the clock hands backwards beyond the twelve o clock mark.
It is okay to shift the hands forward. When moving them past the mid night mark hold back until the grandfather clock is through with sounding the hour before continuing.
* If the grandfather clock gains or loses time shift the pendulums length.
Add to the pendulums length to slacken the pace of the clock. Decrease the pendulum length to to quicken the clock.
If you are not sure of setting up the longcase clock get help from the dealer you bought it from. Relish the ambience of gracefulness your antique clock brings to your interiors!
