Check each cable on each drum to see if it is overlapped. As a result, the cable(s) have overlapped on the drum(s). If the clocks are cable-driven and were previously run or the white styrofoam blocks were removed from the cable pulleys, it is possible that the cables were wound up without weights left on the pulley. If the clocks have a moving moon, ensure that the moon is not caught on the click spring. Ensure that the clocks are wound and the weights are up. The proper position of the weights as you are facing the clock is labeled on the bottom of each weight. For weight-driven clocks, make certain that the weights are in their proper location. Retighten the thumbscrew.Įnsure that the verge pin is properly located in the slots of the pendulum guide. Did you check the suspension spring? If it is not hanging straight down, loosen the thumbscrew and straighten the suspension spring.

Do the hands operate without interference? Do not let the hour hand hit the second hand. Is the pendulum hitting the weights? If so, check the stability and level of the clocks. For pendulum clocks, it is important to give the pendulum a full swing.
If the clocks are a pendulum type, ensure that the spring clip or rubber band has been removed from the back of the movement. What if my mechanical clocks will not operate?Įnsure that all of the packing material has been removed.
