Relocating The Clock; Trouble Shooting - F.lli Consonni “Westminster” Bedienungsanleitung

F.lli Consonni
non-silicone liquid or paste wax polish can be used when needed. All brass
components are tarnish proofed with clear laquer and should be wiped with a soft, dry
cotton cloth, only.
{ Never clean plastic components with cleaning agents containing alcohol as this can
result in the development of fine hair fractures in the material.
{ Recommends that your clock movement be oiled
(synthetic oil No. 859 by Etsyntha) every five (5) years by an authorized service center
and thoroughly cleaned every ten
(10) years. Extreme environmental conditions (air humidity and quality,
temperature, etc.) may necessitate more frequent servicing.

10. Relocating the clock

When relocating or moving the clock all weights and the pendulum have to be
removed from the clock. To avoid unneccessary damage, you should ensure that all
accessories like the pendulum and the weights are packed in the original packaging
(see section 2).
Cable movements have to be wound up completely with weights and the styrofoam
blocks inserted. The weights can be removed afterwards. The chains of chain
movements should be secured with wire to avoid slipping off the chain wheels during
transport. To prevent damage to the case the chain ends should be packed
in a plastic bag.
At the new location, repeat the setup of the clock as previously described.

11. Trouble shooting

11.1 Clock does not chime at the proper time
If the clock chimes more than one minute before or after the proper time, the minute
hand should be removed and adjusted. When performing this operation be careful not
to scratch the hand nut, hand or dial.
{ When the clock starts to chime, if applicable stop the pendulum and record the exact
time.
{ Using a special tool or pair of pliers, carefully remove the small nut that holds the
minute hand in place by turning the nut counterclockwise while at the same time
holding the minute hand with your fingers near the small nut.
{ Remove the hand from the hand shaft by pulling the hand straight off. The hand
should come off easily. Riveted to the back side of the minute hand, directly around
the shaft hole, is the hand bushing. Insert a square tool into the bushing or hold the
bushing with a pair of pliers and, with your other hand, turn the clock hand forward or
backward the distance necessary to correct the time (picture 10 - see page 55).
{ Re-attach the hand to the shaft and turn the hand nut finger tight. Make sure the hand
points to the correct location that you recorded in Step 1 plus any corrections you made
in step 3. If the hand does not point to the correct mark, repeat steps 2 and 3.
{ After the minute hand has been adjusted sufficiently tighten the hand nut again with
the special tool or the pair of pliers.
{ If applicable start the pendulum (see section 5) and reset the time as described in
section 4.1.
