* A longcase clock must be set up on a plane and even surface. This sounds uncomplicated but it is vitally important.
When positioning the longcase clock in front of the wall you may see that the rug or surfacing is lumpy and not even. Or it is possible that the floor itself is uneven at the location where it meets the wall.
If the case lists towards one side it is critical to compensate for it.
* Pendulums have front and back sides that are distinguishable. The front end most often is the the side that is polished and more or less flat.
The pendulum of the grandfather clock should swing free of all sides of the case. Should it collide with the walls it could be that the case leans away from vertical.
* The assembly of weights that power the mechanism should stand obstruction free. They should impact upon the pendulum or any part of the casing or mechanism as they come down.
* When you set the pendulum in motion check for a steady tick sound. The tick tocks should be stable and regular.
If the clock makes an uneven sound it is often because the clock is not vertically placed. Try creating a level surface and adjust as needed.
* When modifying the time avoid turning the hands backwards more than just a few minutes. Do not under any circumstances shift the clock hands back across the mid day mark.
It is alright to turn the clock hands forward. When moving across the twelve o clock mark wait until the grandfather clock is through with sounding the hour chime before going forward.
* If the grandfather clock runs too slow or too fast alter the length of the pendulum arrangement.
Increase the length to reduce the clocks speed. Reduce the pendulum length to have the clock pick up pace.
