Question
My grandfather clock from Germany runs slow. I adjusted the pedal all the way up and it still runs about 30 minutes slow over night. How do i adjust it or what do i have to do to fix it, tks

Answer
Your clock is trying to tell you that he needs some serious care.  Excessive time lose, such as you describe indicate a dire need for at least cleaning, adjustment and fresh lubricants.  Contact a qualified clock repair person, in your area, for evaluation.  Regards WJP
