KEEP TIME THAT NEVER GOES OUT OF STYLE and fits on walls that wouldn't have space for a full-sized grandfather clock. The Regulator's at home anywhere, from traditional to Steampunk decor!

Product Instructions Hanging the Clock We wish you many years of enjoyment with your clock and hope to help preserve the beauty and functionality of your investment with these simple steps for hanging, winding, regulating, and cleaning your Templeton Regulator Wall Clock. Remember, your Templeton Regulator Wall Clock is a replica of an antique instrument, as opposed to a modern-day precision timepiece. - Hanging: For proper operation, hang your clock on an interior wall away from any heating or cooling vents. Make sure that the wall is exactly vertical and that nothing will obstruct the side-to-side motion of the pendulum or the up and down motion of the chain and weight. Properly install a mounting screw (not provided) in wall at desired height. Attach your clock to the mounting screw using the keyhole slot on its backside. Adjust clock to ensure that it sits level and is flush against the wall. Check to make sure that the pendulum bob is properly aligned with the pendulum stem (not twisted) before starting clock with a gentle side-to-side push of the pendulum. Winding and Regulating the Clock - Winding (pulling up the weight): Hold the clock steady with one hand; with your other hand, pull down on the free end of the chain, gently drawing the weight on the other end up to the bottom of the clock. - Regulating the timekeeping (too fast or too slow): Once your clock is hung where you want it, take some time to get to know its 'personality'. Every clock is a little different, as is every home in which it is installed, so a little patience is required to find the balance necessary to keep the pendulum swinging regularly. At the bottom of the pendulum rod is a round brass weight, called the 'bob'. The nut located below the bob is used to adjust the timekeeping ability of your clock. If you push the bob up, your clock will run faster; if you let it down, the clock will run slower. Start by setting the time to an accurate electric or quartz timepiece. Check the pendulum clock’s time 24 hours later; if the clock runs fast, turn the nut to the left a small amount) to lower the bob and slow the clock. If it runs slow, turn the nut to the right (a small amount) to raise the bob and speed up the clock. Move the minute hand clockwise when it is wrong by more than several minutes. Adjustments and Maintenance - Making Adjustments: Remember, when you regulate the pendulum of your clock, you are attempting to achieve the best timekeeping possible from a mechanical clock. Because the movement is based on gravity and not batteries, you will still need to push the minute hand forward or backward periodically to maintain the correct time. Environmental factors such as humidity, physically moving the clock, dust collection and air flow can all have an effect on the timekeeping of your clock. - Cleaning and Lubricating: Eventually, the oil lubricating the moving parts in your clock will start to dry up. This is especially true for skeleton-style clocks such as the Templeton Regulator because there is no casement to protect the movement from its environment, especially dust. Oil your clock every two years or so to avoid unnecessary damage.
