Open the back door. Remove carefully all packaging material and securing devices such as rubber, foam, paper, etc. Please cut the rubber band with a pair of scissors. Open the front door and remove the plastic safety bushing (see picture 2). Save the packing in case the clock needs to be returned.

Please wind your clock fully every seven days for optimum performance (the clock will run about 8 - 9 days on one winding). To wind the clock, use the enclosed key. Turn key clockwise until it stops (about 3 1/2 turns on the left winder and about 4 1/2 turns on center and right winder. The center winder is for the timekeeping, the right winder is for the quarter-hour chime, and the left winder is for the hour strike.

If you have a Westminster Chime Clock,  the chime shut-off is located inside the back of the clock case at the right side of the movement (see photo 1)
