THE
CHIME
LEVERS
MUST
BE
BENT
to
strike
the
chime
rods
on
the
center
of
the
hammer.
Hold
each
chime

Place
your
forefinger
on
the
hammer,
your
thumb
on
the
chime
lever,
just
above
the
end
of
the
pliers,
Bend
each
lever
back
as
needed
to
make
proper
alignment.
Hold
the
pliers
vertically
to
protect
the
base
of
each
chime

of
bendin:
nF
ossible
breakage.
The
hammer
should
clear
each
rod
approximately
1/8”
for
the
best
tone.
The
closer
to
each
rod
the
louder
the
tone;
by
moving
the
hammer
farther
back
from
the
rod
you
will
lighten
and
soften
the
tone.
Figure
2,
2A
and
2B.
STEP
6:
Release
the
silence
levers
(No.
19
&
No.
20)
away
from
the
chime
levers
and
hour
strikers.
(Fig.
1).
Place
the
Suspension
Arm
Assembly
(No.
38)
on
the
Suspension
Spring
(No.
34)
as
shown.
Make
sure
the
Suspension
Arm
Assembly
fits
without
binding
in
the
slot
provided
for
it
by
the
Anchor
Assembly
(No.
43).
See
Figure
12,
Page
9.
STEP
7:
Insure
that
the
chains
are
properly
threaded
on
the
main
wheels
(Step
No.
2
&
Fig.
1).
Place
the
weights
in
the
brass
weight
shell.
The
preforated
end
on
each
chain
is
hooked
to
the

STEP
8:
Install
the
Pendulum
Bob
on
the
Pendulum
and
hang
through
the
slot
on
the
Suspension
Arm
Assembly
as
shown
in
Fig-
ure
6
and
12.
STEP
9:
From
the
front
of
the
case,
allow
the
Pendulum
to
swing
gently
by
holding
the
bob
against
one
side
of
the
case
and
releasing
it
to
swing
freely,
The
bob
should
not
strike
the
opposite
side
of
the
case,
if
it
does,
this
indicates
the
case
is
low
on
the
side
where
the
bob
hits
the
case.
(This
may
be
corrected
by
raising
the
clock
case
on
that
side,
or
lowering
the
clock
case
on
the
high
side.)
The
Pen-
dulum
must
swing
without
having
the
bob
strike
the
case
when
re-
leased
from
either
side.
Use
the
four
floor
levelers
in
the
base
of
the
cabinet
to
level.

.
.both
side
to
side
and
front
to
back.
If
it
does
not
your
clock
movement
is
uneven.
THIS
IS
IMPOR-
TANT.
After
assuring
proper
leveling,
allow
the
clock
to
operate
for
24
hours
before
any
regulation
is
made
for
fast
or
slow
adjustments.
During
this
period,
the
clock
will
self-adjust
for
proper
hour
chiming.
STEP
11:
The
regulation
of
your
clock
is
finished
simply
by
means
of
the
adjustment
nut
located
at
the
bottom
of
the
Pendulum
Stick.
To
slow
the
clock
down,
move
the
adjustment
nut
(and
the
bob)
toward
the
base
of
the
clock.
To
make
the
clock
run
faster,
move
the
adjustment
nut
upward.
Figure
No.
6.
One
complete
turn
equals
30
seconds
in
24
hours.
STEP
12:
You
may
now
proceed
with
installing
the
back
on
your
clock
case.
In
the
event
you
move
your
clock
from
one
room
to
another,
always
remove
the
weights,
and
the
pendulum,
to
prevent
damage
to
the
working
parts
of
the
movement.
When
leaving
your
home
for
periods
of
over
one
week
we
suggest
stopping
your
clock
by
stopping
the
pendulum.
Should
silent
operation
be
desired,
without
chimes
or
hour
strike,
remove
the
weight
filler
from
the
chime
side
(right
side)
and
replace
the
empty
weight
shell
on
to
the
chain
to
retain
symmetry.
This
must
be
done
only
after
the
clock
has
completed
the
16
note
chime
and
any
hour
strike.
The
time
train
will
continue
to
run
properly
but
the
chime
train,
and
strike
train
weights
will
remain
at
a
constant
level
while
the
center
weight
descends.
Your
movement
has
been
completely
checked
in
our
modern
clock
department.
However,
as
with
all
mechanical
products,
some
maladjustment
may
occur
either
in
transit
or
in
future
years.
For
this
reason,
we
maintain
a
com-
plete
inventory
of
every
part
in
the
Model
100M
movement
at
our
Fairhope,
Alabama
plant.

If
more
information
is
needed
see
Step
6
and

on
page
two.
.
Install
the
suspension
arm
assembly
(No.
38)
and
the
pendulum
with
the
brass
bob
attached.
Insure
that
the
metal
tab
pressure
against
the
pendulum
stick
does
not
prevent
the
bob
from
sliding
up,
or
down
the
stick
for
time
adjustment.
See
Fig.
6
and
Fig.
12
for
detail.
.
Carefully
place
the
clock
case
where
you
would
like
to
have
it
permanently
situated.
Care
must
be
taken
to
prevent
damage
to
the
suspension
spring
which
the
pendulum
is
attached
to.
Level
the
clock,
as
illustrated,
Fig.
13.
Use
the
pendulum
bob
as
the
leveling
device.
DO
NOT
USE
A
CARPENTER’S
LEVEL.
.
When
your
clock
is
level
as
directed,
attach
all
of
the
weights.
See
Step
7,
Page
2.
Start
the
pendulum
swing.
The
movement
should
tick
at
one
end
of
the
pendulum
swing,
and
tock
at
the
opposite
end
of
the
swing.
If
the
tick,
or
tock
occurs
in
between
the
swing,
the
movement
will
not
operate
longer
than
the
momentum
you
have
given
the
pendulum.
You
must
adjust
the
anchor
assembly.
.
Remove
all
the
weights
from
the
clock.
Mark
the
floor
to
insure
that
when
the
clock
is
moved
from
its
present
location
you
will
be
able
to
return
it
to
the
same
location.
Carefully
pull
the
clock
forward
so
that
you
may
comfortably
stand
behind
it.
Relevel
the
clock,
using
the
pendulum
bob
as
before.
Do
not
change
the
floor
levelers
this
time.
Use
paper,
or
cardboard
shims.
This
will
assure
the
clock
will
be
level
when
it is
moved
back
to
its
original
position
against
the
wall.

To
Raise
§.
Attach
the
center
weight
only.
The
anchor
arm
assembly
(No.
43)
should
move
rapidly
from
side
to
side.
In
the
event
that
No.
43
does
not
move
from
side
to
side,
it
is
an
indication
that
it
has
been
moved
off
center
and
must
be
releveled.
The
driving
force
of
the
time
train
is
transmitted
to
the
escapement
wheel
located
directly
beneath
the
black
anchor.
The
anchor
pallets
are
labeled
‘‘A’’
and
‘’B’’.
The
anchor
shaft,
on
which
the
anchor
is
attached,
is
fixed
to
the
anchor
assembly
arm
(No.
43)
in
a
manner
which
allows
adjustment.
To
change
the
pallet
location,
place
your
thumb
and
index
finger
on
the
split
foot
of
No.
43.
Push
No.
43
to
the
right
and
this
will
force
the
‘‘A”’
side
of
the
anchor
down
into
the
escape
wheel.
Exerting
enough
force
will
cause
the
anchor
arm
to
slip
on
the
shaft
at
Point
‘“‘C’’.
When
you
release
the
foot
on
No.
43,
the
‘‘A”’
side
of
the
anchor
will
then
be
too
high
over
the
escape
wheel
and
the
movement
will
not
run.
Forcing
the
“B"
side
down
will
cause
a
similar
slippage
and
reverse
this
situation.
The
object
here
is
to
have
“A”
and
“B”
level
over
the
escape
wheel
exactly
when
the
anchor
arm
assembly
(No.
43)
is
vertical.
.
When
the
anchor
is
level,
No.
43
will
move
rapidly
from
side
to
side.
Now
attach
the
suspension
arm
(No.
38).
The
added
weight
and
resistance
of
the
arm
will
slow
the
side
to
side
motion.
If
motion
stops,
relevel
the
anchor
as
before,
this
time
with
No.
38
attached.
Try
to
obtain
an
even
sound,
time
lapse
between
the
tick
and
the
tock.

Attach
the
pendulum.
Now
you
have
added
a
lot
of
weight
to
the
time
train.
The
added
weight
means
more
resistance.
The
side
to
side
motion
of
the
anchor
arm
assembly
will
slow.
Listen
to
hear
the
tick
at
the
one
side
and
tock
at
the
other
side
of
the
pendulum
swing.
Adjust
the
anchor
to
give
an
even
sound.

the
escape
wheel,
from
the
rear,
as
it
rocks
the
anchor
from
side

9.
Attach
the
two
remaining
weights
and
observe
the
clock
overnight
before
moving
it
to
its
permanent
location.
Weights
may
be
pulled
to
within
one-half
inch
of
the
bottom
of
the
movement
to
obtain
maximum
running
time.
Take
care
not
to
jam
the
weight
shell
hook
into
the
movement
mounting
brackets.
(See
Fig.

Page

.
Remove
the
weights.
Relocate
the
clock
in
its
original
position.
This
time
it
will
be
level
when
you
place
it
where
you
marked
the
floor.
Relevel
with
the
pendulum
bob
if
necessary.
Install
the

back
panel.
Attach
the
weights
and
