Features

• One type of Ridgeway mantel clock is battery-operated. This unit is virtually maintenance-free, requiring only periodic battery changes to keep the time as accurate as possible. If the clock has a pendulum, note that the clock must be level for free movement of the pendulum.
  
  

Types

• Key-wound mantel clocks require a bit more operational maintenance. The face of the clock has one to three keyholes that need to be wound to tighten the internal springs, which power operation of the clock.
  
  

Considerations

• Some Ridgeway mantel clocks use weights. In these units, a crank is used to raise them, at least weekly. It is recommended to use only the crank; never push the weights upward with the hands, as this can damage the internal movement.
