Hermle Striking Mantle Clock Instructions

note: These clocks have a balance wheel and Hermle 130 Series Movement

Take the clock and key carefully out of the carton.
Carefully remove the protective packaging such as foam rubber, corrugated paper, rubber bands, etc. You will find these mainly where the hammers, gongs or bells are located, inside the back of the clock. Open the front door and remove the plastic safety bushing. 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. The left winder is for the striking, and the right winder is for the time.
If striking is not required, do not wind up the left winding square (some models have a strike shutoff lever located inside the back of the clock).
Move the minute hand (long hand) clockwise or counterclockwise to set the clock to the correct time. The clock will strike the number of each hour and will strike once on the half-hour.
If the clock is striking the wrong hour, move the hour hand (short hand) to point to the hour that the clock just struck.
To make the clock go slower or faster, turn the regulating screw that is shown in the upper left of the picture below. To make the clock go more quickly: turn the screw at the very top left clockwise. To make the clock go slower: turn the screw counterclockwise. The screw is turned with a screwdriver. Make only a small adjustment each time (about 1/16 of a turn).
