Grandfather Clock FAQ's:
1. How do you wind it?
Cable-driven (wound) clocks need to be wound once a week with the crank that fits into the dial of the clock at the winding positions.
Chain-driven clocks are also wound once a week by pulling down on the chain and gently supporting each weight with your opposite hand as it is pulled up.
Note: Avoid contact with weights, as oils and chemicals can
tarnish the weights, leaving marks. Be sure to use a soft towel or non abrasive glove when handling.
2. What does the moon dial do?
It takes 29 1/2 days (lunar month) for the moon to go around the earth.
This dial, once set, will keep track of the moon revolution.
The full moon occurs on the 15th day.
3. How accurate is it?
It can be as good as within a few minutes per month by adjusting the length of the pendulum.
Turn the screw on the bottom of the pendulum bob to adjust
To speed up, move it up
To speed down, move it down
4. Why are my weights going down at different speeds?
Each weight has a specific purpose. If you turn the chime off at any
point, the weights will lower at different rates.
5. How do I maintain it?
It needs oil every 2-4 years
It should be professionally cleaned every 10 years
6. I don't think it is chiming anymore!

manually by the hour and see if it chimes. (Also make sure that any nighttime feature is not enabled.)
