Option A instructions: 1. Using the measurements from diagram A, mark screw hole center locations. Mark four (4) location on door to mount door closer and
two (2) locations on door frame to mount arm shoe. 2. Drill pilot holes in door and frame, 7/32” (5.5mm) diameter for wood, or #7 (.201” diameter) for all purpose screws
or 1/4-20 machine screws. 3. Install adjustable forearm/arm shoe to frame using screws (a) or (b). 4. Mount closer onto door using screws (c) or (d). SPEED ADJUST-
ING VALVES MUST BE POSITIONED TOWARD HINGE SIDE. 5. Install main arm to top pinion shaft, perpendicular to door. Secure tightly with arm screw/washer (e).
6. Adjust length of forearm so that forearm is perpendicular to frame when assembled to preloaded main arm.S ecure forearm to main arm with screw/washer (f).
7. Adjust door’s closing speed and power, see page 4 for reference. 8. Snap pinion cap over shaft at bottom of closer or install (optional) cover with small screws (j).
Option B Instructions: 1. Using the measurements from diagram B, mark screw hole center locations. Mark four (4) location on frame to mount door closer and
two (2) locations on door to mount arm shoe.
2. Drill pilot holes in door and frame, drill 7/32” (5.5mm) diameter holes for wood screws or drill and tap #7 (.201” diameter)
for 1/4-20 machine screws.
3. Install adjustable forearm/arm shoe to frame using screws (a) or (b). 4. Mount closer onto frame using screws (c) or (d). SPEED ADJUST-
ING VALVES MUST BE POSITIONED TOWARD HINGE
SIDE.
5. Install main arm to bottom pinion shaft, perpendicular to door. Secure tightly with arm screw/washer
(e). 6. Adjust length of forearm so that forearm is perpendicular to door when assembled to preloaded main arm. Secure forearm to main arm with screw/washer (f).
7. Adjust door’s closing speed and power, see page 4 for reference.
8. Snap pinion cap over shaft at bottom of closer or install (optional) cover, using small screws (j).
Option C Instructions: 1.
Using the
measurements from diagram C, mark screw hole
center locations. Mark four (4) location on door to
mount door closer and four (4) locations on inside
frame to mount parallel bracket.
2. Drill pilot holes in
door and frame, drill 7/32” (5.5mm) diameter holes for
wood screws or drill and tap #7 (.201” diameter) for
1/4-20 machine screws.
3. Install Parallel Bracket to
frame using screws (g) or (h). 4. Mount closer onto
door using screws (c) or (d). SPEED ADJUSTING
VALVES MUST BE POSITIONED AWAY FROM
HINGE
SIDE.
5. Place main arm on closer pinion
shaft, indexing main arm mark “L” or “R with pinion flat
as shown in figure 1. Secure tightly with screw/washer
(e). 6. Remove arm shoe from forearm (see figure 2).
Install ROD end of forearm to bracket using the screw
(i). 7. With door closed, adjust length of forearm so
that the tip of the main arm is approximately 1-1/2”
(38mm) away from being parallel with door, when
connected to the forearm. Secure with screw/washer
(f).
8. Adjust door’s closing speed and power, see
page 4 for reference. 9. Snap pinion cap over shaft at
bottom of closer or install (optional) cover, using small
screws (j).
