As described within these instructions, adjustments to the pendulum to achieve accurate time keeping is easily accomplished. The three weights provide power to the hour strike left weight , time center weight , and chime melody right weight. Without these weights, the Grandfather Clock would not operate. Each weight is different and must be properly hung from the movement left, center, right to ensure proper operation.
Weights are hung from the movement by a cable or chain. The weights must be raised at least every 7 days or the Grandfather Clock will stop. Raising cable driven weights is accomplished through use of a crank. Raising chain driven weights is accomplished by pulling down on the loose end of the chain. The strike and chime sounds are made by a series of hammers hitting various length rods. Each rod makes a different sound when hit by a hammer. Specific chime melodies are achieved by controlling the sequence that each hammer hits a corresponding rod.
Unboxing Your New Grandfather Clock: a Cut the nylon bands around the shipping carton and open the box from both side. This will contain your product manual. Located in the bottom of the shipping carton will be a white styrofoam box. This box contains: a a key to fit your Grandfather Clock door, b a crank which will be used to wind your Grandfather Clock and, c weights which operate the Grandfather Clock movement.
Also, within the shipping carton will be the Grandfather Clock pendulum packaged in a separate cardboard box. Move the Grandfather Clock close to its final location.
Access to the Grandfather Clock movement, chimes and cables is made in three possible ways; through the front door s , through the top side panels or side doors on some Grandfather Clocks , or through the back access panel. The top side panels are held from the inside by tape or a plastic clip. The plastic clip may be turned or tape may be removed permanently. Refer to the General Information section in section 10 for proper instructions to remove and install top side panels. Remove the cardboard sleeve from around the chime rods by first cutting the rubber band with scissors.
Next, grasp the cardboard sleeve as marked and pull straight down and off the ends of the chime rods. See figure 1. Remove the foam pads from between the chime hammers and chime rods by first cutting the rubber band with scissors. Care should be taken to avoid bending the chime hammers. The chime hammers will be free to move allowing easy removal of the foam pads.
Remove the spring clip from the back side of the movement by first pulling one end free. If there is a long cardboard sleeve and no rubber bands, simply pull down slowly on the cardboard sleeve from the front of the clock and the packing will release on it's own. Then pull out the foam behind the chime hammers and you have completed this step.
This is one of the most critical points in the entire set-up operation. Doing so at this time could cause the cables to overlap and bind the movement. You can remove the styrofoam blocks AFTER your Grandfather Clock is totally set up and has been operating for about twelve 12 hours or when they are completely free to remove. Some pendulums have a colored protective plastic film covering the pendulum disk.
Carefully remove this film before hanging the pendulum. To hang the pendulum, locate the pendulum guide through the front door, or any of the side or back access panel locations. While holding the pendulum guide with one hand, slip the pendulum in through the front door with your other hand.
Place the pendulum hook over the pin or through the slot on the pendulum guide, and lower the pendulum until it is hanging securely on the pendulum guide. See figure 3. Reach through the front door of the Grandfather Clock and place your hand on the side of the pendulum disk. Move the pendulum to the far left of center and release.
Let the Grandfather Clock operate a few minutes until the pendulum settles into an even swinging motion. See figure 7. If your Grandfather Clock gains or looses time after twenty-four 24 hours, see General Information Section to regulate the timekeeping of your Grandfather Clock.
