7. Fix the deer head on the attachment and mount it onto the front of the roof of the clock (Hunters Style

8. Select a place for your clock (approx. 1.8-2m / 6-7 feet above the floor).

Use a strong screw with a rawl plug and fix with small angle into the wall. Position it far enough

from the wall to secure the clock properly. Make sure that the clock is hanging horizontally

straight and flush on the wall to make sure the pendulum will not touch the case!

The clock must be straight in a perpendicular way.

  • 1-Tages clocks: Pull the chain down slowly to raise the weight.
  • 8-Tages clocks: When pulling the chain down slowly assist the weight with your hand.

Care and maintenace

Cuckoo clocks do not need very much regular care. The modern movements are sophisticated, easy to maintain and durable. For cleaning the clock please use a soft dry paint brush. Please have the movement checked and oiled at regular intervals of approx. 2 years by a clockmaker nearby.
The avoid reducing the lifetime of the cuckoo clock please use the clock in standard room temperatures. Temperatrures below 5C (40F), high humidity of the surrounding air, much dust or dampness may damage your clock. Please do not hang the clock directly above a heater or above an open fireplace as the dry and warm air might distort the wooden parts and the oil in the bearings of the clock movement might run dry.
Minor damage on the wooden parts and carvings due to transport may happen sometimes and can not be avoided. Please repair such minor damages yourself by using wood glue and felt-tip pen in the appropriate colour.
