Tips regarding reparing howard miller clocks
* A grandfather clock work correctly only if they stand on a plane horizontal surface. This is a very basic point but it is essential.
When setting it next to the wall you may see that the rug or carpet is not uniform. Or it may be true that the floor is uneven where it meets the wall.
If the case is leaning and does not stand vertical you must bring it to vertical.
* Grandfather Clock Pendulums have front and back sides that are different. The pendulum face is usually the the flat highly polished side.
The longcase clock pendulum must swing free without touching the sides of the case. Should it touch the case it could be that the surface on which it rests is not level.
* The assembly of weights that are its driving force should stand free of impediments. They should collide with the pendulum or the sides of the clock casing as they fall.
* When you set the pendulum in motion listen for a steady tick tock sound. The sound should be regularly spaced.
If you hear an uneven sound it is possibly because the clock is not vertically placed. Try creating a level surface and readjust as needed.
* When correcting the time avoid turning the grandfather clock hands backwards further than a few minutes. Never turn the clock hands rearwards past the mid night mark.
It is fine to turn the clock hands forward. When shifting them past the number twelve wait till your clock has completed sounding the hour chime before you proceed.
* If your clock runs slow or fast change the linear dimensions of the pendulum.
Increase the length to decrease the speed of the clock. Decrease the length of the pendulum to to make the clock go more quickly.
