It is very important to know how to move and set up a pendulum clock in the right way.
Open the front door and hang the pendulum on the hook on many clocks the hook is behind the dial give the pendulum a swing and the clock will start ticking.
Once the pendulum is in place give it a gentle push side to side and see what happens.
If it won t turn clockwise your clock.
If a clock is out of beat the pendulum will swing for a few minutes then stop even if the clock case is level.
Give the pendulum a slight sideways push to start it swinging.
Perhaps you have a clock that runs well where it is and you need to move it to a new location.

The pendulum fits at the back of the clock movement and slides through an opening called the fork within the suspended iron rod at the back of the movement which is called the crutch.
It should sound steady and even like a metronome.
If not the crutch at the back of the movement will need to be bent sideways to either the right or the left.
Hold the clock steady with your nondominant hand and use your other hand to turn the key or crank clockwise.
You work toward equal time between the tick and the tock.
