WALL AND MANTEL CLOCK

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

FOLLOW THESE STEPS TO SET UP

WALL AND MANTEL CLOCKS.

• SETTING UP YOUR CLOCK

Located in the shipping carton with the clock will be a key to wind the clock. If provided

on your model, the shipping carton may also include a pendulum and finial that are

separately packed. Please keep all of the original packaging material.

WARNING: KEEP PLASTIC BAGS AND SMALL PARTS AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

Access to the clock movement and chimes is made through the back of the clock.

Howard Miller uses a combination of rubber bands, foam, styrofoam, metal, and

cardboard to secure the movement and chimes during shipping.

Cut rubber bands with scissors and discard.

DO NOT PULL ON THE RUBBER BANDS TO BREAK.

Remove foam, styrofoam, and cardboard from around the movement and chimes.

When possible, pull in the direction shown to remove. (See figure 1 & 2)

For clocks with a pendulum, cut the rubber band or remove the metal spring clip from

the back side of the movement by first pulling one end free. (See figure 2).

Open the front door and remove the white plastic insert holding the minute hand at the

3:00 location (this insert is not used on all models).

Follow the remaining instructions as they apply to your clock.

• FOR CLOCKS THAT HAVE A PENDULUM -

Follow these instructions for hanging pendulum.

NOTE: To perform the following steps, Howard Miller suggests wearing cotton gloves

or using a soft cloth when handling parts.

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 back

access panel. While holding the pendulum guide with one hand, slip the pendulum

through the front door with your other hand. Place the pendulum hook over the pin or

through the slot on the end of the pendulum guide, and lower the pendulum until it is

hanging securely on the pendulum guide. (See figure 2).

• FOR CLOCKS THAT HAVE HANGING WEIGHTS -

Follow these instructions for hanging weights.

Do not remove the styrofoam blocks until after your clock has been

operating for at least eight (8) hours.

Check the weights to ensure that they are tightly assembled. Check to make sure

that the cable is in the cable pulley. Hang the weights on the pulley. (See figure 3).

• FOR ALL CLOCKS - SETTING TIME (moving the hands) To set the time, move ONLY THE MINUTE HAND counterclockwise (backwards) until the hour and minute hand are at the correct time. (See figure 4). DO NOT MOVE THE HOUR HAND WHEN SETTING THE TIME. The hour hand will move automatically when the minute hand is moved. By moving the minute hand counterclockwise it is not necessary to wait for the clock to chime as the minute hand passes each quarter hour.
PAGE 3
CHIME SELECTION HOOK Selecting the chime melody is accomplished by moving a lever on or next to the clock dial. Some models play only the Westminster chime, while others give you a selection of three melodies. If the dial states "WESTM-SILENT" or "STRIKE-SILENT", your clock has only the Westminster chime. If your clock has a triple chime movement, the chime lever identifies the melody choices. Never change the selection while the clock is chiming or positioned near the release points.

CLOCK DOES NOT STRIKE THE CORRECT HOUR If after several hours of operation your clock does not strike the correct hour, grasp the HOUR HAND ONLY and move it forward or backward to line up with the correct hour on the dial indicated by the number of times the hour strikes. Rotating this hand independently will not damage the clock.
