The hour strike and quarter chime (depending on model)
mechanisms of your clock can be operated independently.
When
switching
from
chimes/strike of the movement families A and S for technical
reasons will take between minimal 1 to maximal 2 hours to
synchronize.
For movements with a single selector lever for the chime and
automatic night shut-off, the night shut-off is activated in the
top lever postition («SILENT/NIGHT ON») and deactivated in
the bottom lever position («NIGHT OFF»). Depending on the
lever position used last, the respective chime and the hour
strike will then run with or without the automatic night shut-off.
The automatic night shut-off can be deactivated during the
day phase (see section 10), only.

Winding the clock
The weights or springs of your clock should be wound
regularly and evenly. Leaving the strike mechanisms unwound
can lead to jamming of the time mechanism. As a general
rule, silencing the chime mechanisms should be done by
using the function(s) of the chime selector levers, only (see
section 7).
When winding clocks without maintaining power the automatic
beat adjustment can shift out of alignment. The clock should
therefore be re-started (see section 6) and the time be re-set
(see section 5.1) after winding is completed.
When winding the clock, and if possible, use your free hand to
stabilize the clock case.
8.1 Cable movements
Insert the crank key provided into the crank holes located in
the dial face as far as possible. Depending on movement the

to
«STRIKE»
time, (if available) melody chime and hour strike mechanisms
are wound clockwise or counterclockwise until the respective
weight stops or is approximately 2" from the bottom of the
wood movement mounting board (picture 12 - see page 25).
Refer to the winding directions for Your movement (check
product identification on page 48) in the following table:

S-Series
Never wind the clock without having weights attached or lift the
weights by hand while cranking. This could result in the cables
becoming tangled and jamming of the movement.
8.2 Chain movements
Pull the loose end of the chain down until the weight stops or
is approximately 2" from the bottom of the wood movement
mounting board (picture 13 - see page 26).
The chain should be pulled straight, slowly and evenly. Do not
lift the weights by hand as this could cause them to come
unhooked from their chain.
8.3 Cable-key wind movements
Insert the crank key provided into the crank holes located in
the dial face as far as possible. The time mechanism is
wound counterclockwise until the weight stops or is
approximately 2" from the bottom of the wood movement
mounting
board.

Never wind the clock without having weights attached or lift the
the
weights by hand while cranking. This could result in tangling
up the cables and blocking of the movement.
8.4 Key wind movements
Insert the winding key provided into the winding holes located
in the dial face as far as possible. All key wind mechanisms
are wound clockwise until a noticeable resistance develops
9.
Adjusting the pendulum
The length of the pendulum determines the running speed
(timekeeping) of your clock. The longer a pendulum the
slower is its swinging speed. To change the running speed,
move the pendulum bob up or down and, thus, shorten or
lengthen the effective length, that is the distance between
center of gravity of the pendulum and pendulum hook. The
pendulum bob can be moved up and down by turning the
adjustment nut. Depending on pendulum type, this adjustment
nut is above or below the pendulum bob.
Before you make any change, observe and note the
timekeeping of your clock over a longer period of time, for
example 12 or 24 hours.
9.1 Lyre and Wooden pendulums
The adjustment nut is located below the pendulum bob.
Turning
the
adjustment
counterclockwise will shorten the effective pendulum length
and the clock will run faster. Turning the adjustment nut
clockwise will lengthen the effective pendulum length and the
clock will run slower (picture 14 - see page 26).
