UNPACKING AND HANGING INSTRUCTIONS FOR RIVER CITY CUCKOO CLOCK
1. Gently unpack your clock, locate the pendulum weights and headboard. Your clock may or may not have a headboard and it may have two or three weights, depending on the model. Be sure to save the original box and packing material for future use.
2. Place the clock face down. Open the back of the clock by turning the small metal latch. Remove the back panel and pull the paper out from behind the spiral gong wire on the inside of the back panel.
3. Gently slide out the two bellow clips at the upper inside of the clock and save them with the original packing material. Replace the back panel.
4. Turn the clock onto its backside. Push aside the wire lever to unlatch the cuckoo’s door, allowing the door to swing freely. The wire latch should remain affixed to the clock body.
5. At the bottom of the case, you will see a paper packet which secures the clocks chains. Loosen and remove the paper packet, allowing the ends of the chains with the round brass washers to extend fully. If there are knots in the chains, untangle them gently. Once the chains are untangled, keep the clock in an upright position to avoid their sliding inside the clock and off the sprocket wheels.
6. For maximum running time, hang your clock approximately 6ʼ offthe floor on a secure, strong nail or hook. At this height, the round chain ends should hang about 6” off the floor. Running time will be a full day or week depending on the clock mechanism. If there is no stud behind the wall where the nail is to be driven, use a wallboard anchor (molybolt) or heavy duty fastener of the correct type for your wall.
Picture hooks will not provide the necessary level of safety.
Make sure the clock hangs flush on the wall and does not lean forward.
Hang clock at 6 feet or higher
7. Attach the pendulum to the “U” shaped wire pendulum leader at thebottom of the clock (7a). Then attach the weights to the hook ends of the chains.
8. Now mount the headboard if there is one.
