2.2 Gong rod protection
For clocks with gong rods, remove the protection sleeve from around the chime rods by pulling it
straight down and off the ends of the chime rods.
For clocks with coil gongs, remove the transport protection inserted between the coils depending on
case design by pulling it straight down or out sideways.
2.3 Preparing the cable pulley(s)
If your clock is cable driven the cable pulley(s) is/are usually prepared for setup in the factory.
Please check that the cable(s) are attached correctly and run within the guides of the cable pulley s).
Should the cable pulley(s) not be preinstalled, guide the cables through their pulleys and hook the
cable ends with the end-tab into the cable hanging plate mounted underneath the movement seat
board or to their respective tabs underneath the movement (picture 2 - see page 23).

Preparing the chains
If your clock is chain driven the chains have been packed for shipment in a bag located underneath
the clock movement and are secured with a wire. Pull the bag free and cut the string with scissors.
Allow the chains to hang. Remove the plastic retainer by sliding the retainer down off the chains.
Take off the safety wire last.

Hanging the pendulum
Remove the pendulum from its box. Some pendulums have a colored, easy to pull off protective
plastic film covering the pendulum disk. Carefully remove this film before hanging the pendulum.
Prior to hanging the pendulum, check that the pendulum extension is correctly positioned.
Depending on the model this can be done through the front door or any of the side door(s) or access
panels. M ake sure that the pendulum extension is attached to the two pins of the suspension spring
and that the verge pin locks into the
upper guide slot of the pendulum
extension (picture 3 - see page 23).
First check the suspension spring. If it
is damaged or bent, it must be replaced.
While holding the pendulum extension
with one hand, slip the pendulum
through the slot on the pendulum
extension, and lower the pendulum
until it is hanging securely on the
pendulum extension (picture 4 -
Fig.4
see page 23).
