Choose the proper size wood screw typically a 8 10 or 12 to fit the hanger at the top back of the clock and long enough to go securely through the wall into a stud.
Adjusting the pendulum shorter will cause your clock to run faster while lengthening it causes it to run slower or simply put speedup slowdown in the pendulum regulation diagram below look for the rating nut at the base of the pendulum which is what raised or lowers the pendulum disk or bob.
Turning the front of the nut to the right speeds up the clock and turning it to the left slows it down in other words move the nut up to speed up or down to slow down.
Secure the screw into the wall angled upward at a 45 degree angle and hang the clock.
Move the hour hand backward and forward between the hour positions until the clock chimes the correct hour then adjust to the correct time.
The clock can be made to go faster or slower by means of the nut at the bottom of the pendulum.
On clocks without a pendulum just move the time adjustment lever.
