OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Unpack and remove protective packaging from the clock and key.

a. Remove both the black plug from the back of the case and the

rubber band that holds the hammer arm during shipping. No
need to replace the black plug (Note: e Anniversary Clock is
not secured with the plug or rubber band).

b. Remove plastic tube inserted in the main spring key hole

located on right side of the clock face. e tube keeps the
minute hand from rotating during shipping.

3. NOTE: your clock was wound at time of assembly at Weems &
Plath, so do not wind at rst set up. Over winding will void the warranty.

ere are two key holes to wind once a week, preferably on the same day
each week. e bell spring is located on the left, and the main movement
spring is on the right. In each case, insert the key and turn clockwise
ONLY with a smooth motion, stopping when the spring won’t wind
any further. Never let the key snap back in your hand. Always release it
gently after each half turn. Make sure the clock is fully wound. Do not use
excessive force as over winding will damage the mechanism.

4. Bell chime on/o switch is located on the left side of the face between
10 and 11 o’clock. e bell is turned o when it leaves Weems & Plath. To
turn the bell on, push switch towards the bell icon. To turn o, slide switch
to the down position. Note: Mechanical clocks’ chimes may vary slightly from

the time by a few seconds.
