Troubleshooting Kiefer
Pace Clocks
Battery Clocks:
If the clock will not start.
• It may need a fresh battery.
• The battery may be installed incorrectly. When inserting the
battery, make sure to place it into the battery compartment
positive end rst (left-hand side) and “shoe horn” the Copper
switch plate into position.
• If the motors gears are not turning properly, making noise or
are erratic check them by looking through the translucent
window on the back of the motor casing. The gears should be
spinning smoothly; if they are not, the motor is defective and
should be replaced.
• The on/off button could be worn or defective. It is replaced by
snaking the wire through the top hole and screwing the on/off button ush with the clock body.

• To check for motor movement the red second hand must be attached, since it is not possible to visually detect
shaft rotation.
