to place shims under the front of the clock to force it to lean back against the wall. If this isn’t done, the clock may sway or worse yet, fall over!

The case must also be leveled side-to-side. Place a bubble level in the bottom of the case and shim one side or the other until the case is leveled.

The case must be back against the wall and level side-to-side before the movement is reinstalled.

Reinstall the movement, weight, and pendulum using the instructions for “Moving the Clock” as a guide.

Setting the Beat

One final adjustment will be necessary once the clock has been relocated and properly set up. The clock must “tick- tock” evenly; like a metronome. This is accomplished by turning the knob on the beat adjuster small amounts (while the pendulum is stopped) until the tick and tock occur on equal sides of the center of the pendulum’s swing. The adjuster is located just behind and below the dial, where the pendulum attaches to the leader.
