Setup Instructions for Hönes clocks
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Before hanging up the clock, carefully read these operating
instructions.
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT |
|

Unpack with care! When removing the clock from the carton, please
hold it at the roof. Remove the loose accessories such as pendulum, weights
etc... Please do not open the small paper-bag fixed to the bottom of
the clock, this will be done later.
Lay the clock down with the face downwards and turn aside the locking tab
(A) on the back wall. Place a nail or a screw driver into the slot (B) and
gently lift out the back panel.
Remove
the paper strip from the chime spring (5). Remove - depending on the model
- one or two clamps(Pull Out)from the bellows (6). Please be careful that
no wires of the clock will be bent or damaged.
Now hang up the clock (10) on a strong nail or screw which is fixed to the
wall in a HEIGHT of about 2 meters(6-7 Feet) from the floor (11).
Open
the packet (8) underneath the clock containing the chains and pull out the
wire. Possible knots in the chains should be undone very cautiously. Please
notice that henceforth the clock must not be put down or turned upside down
- otherwise the chains will slip off from the chain- wheels.
In case one chain has slid from the chain-wheel please take your clock to
a reliable clock shop,or pay attention to the following remarks:
The chain can be replaced again by fully winding up the other weights and
hooking them off; hereafter the clock must be turned upside down and the
chain has to be balanced upon the chain- wheel; it is advisable to remove
the back panel in order to observe the replacing of the chain on the chain-wheel
through the chain holes in the clock case.
Turn
the wire which locks the cuckoo door (Fig. 7);to the side. In the case of
Music-Cuckoo-Clocks, two wires (= two doors) must be turned to clear the
doors.
Hang
the pendulum in the wire loop in the middle of the case bottom (Fig. 9)
hang the weights on the chain-hooks. The clock must be placed in a correct
vertical position so that the pendulum can swing freely. Now your clock
is ready for operation.
For setting the correct time turn the minute-hand (longer hand) around to
the left. NEVER move the hour-hand (small hand). If you turn the minute-hand
around to the right, always wait for the end of the cuckoo-striking on the
half and full hour; In the case of a music-clock, always wait for the end
of the music.
For starting the clock gently push the pendulum to one side. The clock hangs
in the correct position when the "tick-tock" of the pendulum is even. Listen
for the even "tick-tock" sound, and adjust clock to the right or left as
necessary.
Depending on the model the clock must be wound up each 24 hours or each
8 days by pulling the ring on the end of the chain downwards thereby raising
the weight up to the clock.
The
accurate time of the clock can be regulated by the pendulum. If the clock
gains time push the pendulum-disk downwards on the pendulum-bar; if the
clock looses time push the disc upwards. Several models are available with
the possibility of turning off the striking mechanism - this is indicated
by a stick-on label. (12 or 13). |
