INSTRUCTIONS FOR
SETTING AND REGULATING
GRANDFATHER'S CLOCK

To set the clock, always use the minute hand which can be turned only to the right, or clockwise.

If the clock is a few minutes slow, it is all right to move the minute hand forward to the correct time. In moving the minute hand forward, if it is necessary to move it past twelve (12) or any of the hours, always wait for the clock to strike off the respective hour.

If the clock is fast, stop the pendulum and wait until the correct time is reached. Then start the pendulum again by moving it slowly to the right and then letting it go. Do not start the pendulum by giving it a hard push as this is liable to cause the pendulum to shimmie.

The clock is regulated by means of a screw at the bottom of the pendulum. If the clock should run too fast, lower the pendulum by turning the screw to the left.

If the clock is running too slow, raise the pendulum by turning it to the right.

Usually it requires only about a quarter of a turn of the screw to make an adjustment.
