Most factory specs are that the clock chimes within 45 seconds either way of the top of the hour. DO NOT MOVE THE HOUR HAND WHEN SETTING THE TIME. If the chimes start to playlet them complete and then go to the next quarter hour until you get to the correct time. As I was correcting the time, I accidentally went past a 15min mark without letting it chime. Adjust the clock manually for Daylight Savings Time.

Hi JerryThe instructions you need are on the following page: Remove the spring clip from the back side of the movement by first pulling one end free (See figure 8). Pull down on the loose end of the chain until the weight is approximately 2 from the bottom of the wood movement mounting board (See figure 16).
