1. If the largest “Tenor” bell is mounted to swing, then see that its chiming rod is DISCONNECTED at the Console before swinging the bell; a failure to do this may cause breaking the Chiming Hammer of this bell.

                2. All bolt-nuts should be examined and screwed up tightly every year.

                3. All wood-work should be painted with some good paint at least once in three years. All iron parts, chains etc. should be painted once in two years with black asphaltum paint.

                4. Apply a few drops of lubricating oil on the pins that go through the top ends of clappers inside the bells about once in three months. Don’t waste oil. A half teaspoon at a time is enough. Apply the same quantity to the journals and roller bearings of the largest bell and pinions of the large bell’s Chiming Hammer and of the iron pulleys over which the chains run.

                5. If oil accumulates anywhere to a gummy deposit, scrape it off and clean it with a little kerosene oil; then apply a small quantity of lubricating oil to the necessary parts.

                6. Should a chain link break, - a remote possibility – remove the broken link and connect the ends by using one of the “S” hooks, a quantity of which we leave with every chime.

                7. Should a strap break, which very seldom happens, then take out the entire strap by unclasping both Snap Hooks from the connections, take it to a harness maker, get him to file off the rivets, pry open the flat iron bands, insert therein the SAME LENGTH of new strap made of double harness leather and re-rivet as they originally were.

                8.  If the tension of any Spring becomes weak, so as to let the Playing Lever at the Console hang down an inch or more, then unscrew the connection at the Console, go up to the bells and wind up each weak spring just one or two notches by means of the lever to which the chain is attached, directly under the bell. Wind just enough to make the playing lever go up to its proper position. Keep the connections EVENLY ADJUSTED AT THE CONSOLE so that in playing there will be about 9 inches of stroke at hand end of Lever. More stroke is of no advantage and less is hardly enough for a proper stroke. Adjust by means of Adjusting Screws at Console and by taking up a link or two with the upper snap-hook of the Strap above.

               9.  A proper observance of above care and directions will keep everything in proper shape for many years and not exceed a cost of $10.00 per year for all time. If anything more serious should occur than above referred to, then WRITE US IMMEDIATELY AND FULLY.
