12. If the clock runs a few minutes and stops, you may have to physically move the bottom of the clock a little to the right or left on the wall until your clock has an even “tic tock” beat.

13. When setting the time, use the minute hand only and stop every half hour and let it cuckoo and play music if equipped, and every hour and let it cuckoo and play music if equipped until you set the correct time. Always go clockwise and never go backwards.
