* Grandfather clocks always need to stand on a flat surface. This is a straightforward point but it is quite critical.

If the clock lists to one side or the other it is critical to set it right.
* Grandfather Clock Pendulums have different front and back sides. The front face of the pendulum in most cases is the the side that is flat.
The pendulum bob must swing free without touching the sides of the case. Should it touch the case it could mean that the clock leans to one side.
* The weights that supply power to the clock should be free of obstructions. They should not brush against the pendulum or the sides of the walls as they drop.
* When you start up the pendulum listen for a steady ticking sound. The ticking sounds should be evenly spaced.
If it is not steady it could be because the clock case is not exactly vertical. Try out different positions and make required adjustments.
* When adjusting time do not shift the hands towards the back further than just a few minutes. And certainly never run them rearwards beyond the twelve o clock mark.
It is fine to move the clock hands forwards. When shifting across the mid night mark hold back till your longcase clock has completed sounding the hour before you carry on.
* If the clock gains or loses time vary the linear dimensions of the pendulum.
Increase the length to make the clock go slower. Decrease the length of the pendulum to to speed up the clock.
