MAKE SURE IT IS SITTING SQUARE AND FIRM ON THE FLOOR SO
THAT IT WILL NOT FALL OVER.
2. Unpack the pendulum, weights and chime tubes. Located within the weight box will
be the door key and winding crank.
3. Open the side doors. Remove the spring clip that secured the pendulum guide during
shipment (FIGURE 1 ). Save this clip; it is reusable if the clock is later
transported. Cut and remove the security band stretched around the chime
hammer assembly.
4. Do not remove the foam blocks from between the cable pulleys and wood shelf, at
this time. After your clock is fully set up and running approximately 12 hours the
blocks can easily be removed. The blocks are reusable if the clock is later transported.
5. Position and level the clock. Levelers on the bottom of the clock case can be screwed
in (up) or out (down) to level clock.

REFER TO YOUR INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR FLOOR CLOCKS.

2. CHIME TUBE ASSEMBLY

TO PROCEED, YOUR CLOCK SHOULD BE IN ITS FINAL LOCATION AND
PROPERLY LEVEL
Assemble a hanger clip on each chime tube. Open the front and side clock access doors.
As you face the clock, the chime tubes should be positioned shortestest to longest, right
to left respectively. Begin hanging the chime tubes by starting with the shortest tube to
the far right of the case. Each tube can be brought through the front door opening and
guided from the side door opening until it hangs from the hanger hook as shown in
(FIGURE 2). Tubes must hang free.

3. HANG PENDULUM

Locate the pendulum guide (FIGURE 3). This is accessible through either of the side
doors. While holding the pendulum guide with your left hand, bring the pendulum
through the front door opening with your right hand. Place the hook on the top of
the pendulum, over the pin or through the slot of the pendulum guide, and lower the
pendulum until it is hanging.

4. HANG WEIGHTS

Most of our clocks use three weights, and the amount of weight required varies
depending on the function. We label the bottom of each weight as to its proper
hanging position as you view your clock from the front. Check the weights to see that
they are still tightly put together. The weight of the fillings can unscrew the end cap nuts
as they hang. Check to make sure that the cable is in the pulley. Hang the weights on the
pulley sling (FIGURE 4).

5. SETTING MOON DIAL

If your clock has the moving moon phase dial feature, follow these instructions. To set
moon dial, apply slight pressure with your hand to the front of the moon disc (FIGURE
5). Rotate the disc clockwise until the moon is directly below the #15. Using an almanac
