Battery Powered Clock Movement Diagram

To be sure you get the correct replacement, measure the length of the threaded shaft on your old movement.

Mount the movement to your clock case by inserting the shaft through the center hole at the back of the dial face. Two small strips of double sided tape between the dial and movement will keep it from twisting in relation to the dial.

Put the brass washer in place on the shaft then secure the movement to the dial with the hex nut. (do not over tighten)

Before mounting the hour hand, place the minute hand on the "I" shaft (the end of the shaft will be oblong as will the hole in the minute hand)

Use the time setting disk in the back of the movement to turn the minute hand exactly to the 12:00 position.

Remove the minute hand and press the hour hand onto it's shaft making sure it is pointing to any hour.

Install the minute hand by securing it with the brass nut that fits over the end of the shaft.

Install a fresh battery and set the time.
