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.
Old and exhausted batteries is the primary cause for the movement to malfunction while keeping time playing a melody or swinging the pendulum on some models.
Simply start the pendulum swinging and move the case gently until the tic and toc are in good balance.
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.
