Putting the clock in beat is the responsibility of the clock owner.The slip clutch is operated by pushing the pendulum leader (see illustration 1) slightly past the point where you feel a resistance. There is a slip clutch mechanism in the clock's escapement (the part that makes the ticking sound and operates the pendulum). Putting the clock in beat is an adjustment to make the tic and toc evenly spaced.If the tic-toc is uneven or the clock stops, follow the "putting in beat" instructions that follow next. You should hear an even "tic - toc" sound. Move the pendulum slightly to the left or right and release it gently. Hang the pendulum onto the pendulum leader as shown in the diagram below. The left winder is for the striking and the right winder is for the time. Please wind your clock fully every 7 days for optimum performance (the clock will actually run about 8 - 9 days on one winding). You will find these mainly where the hammers, the pendulum leader, gongs or bells are located, inside the back of the clock. Carefully remove the protective packaging such as foam rubber, corrugated paper, rubber bands, etc. Take the clock, pendulum and key carefully out of the carton.
