1. For top jamb and corner bracket

applications: The door closer foot

will be attached to the door in a

manner similar to that shown for

mounting the closer body.

2. The appropriate mortise nuts

and screws will be suppled based

on door thickness.

Door construction must provide a

bridge type reinforcement to prevent

the door rail from collapsing when

through-bolts are tightened.

Adjustment hold open arm

Slight tightening or loosening of hold

open nut changes holding position of door.

Note: To protect wall, trim and closer, use a door stop

located 10°beyond hold open position but not beyond

Minimum recommended door closing time is 6 Seconds for

doors opened to 90 degrees.

Use 1/8” hex (Allen) wrench to adjust valves as needed.

Closing and latching speeds:

Turn valves clockwise to slow down or counterclockwise to

speed up door movement.

Backcheck:

To regulate the intensity of back check action, turn valve clockwise

to increase or counterclockwise to decrease checking.

CAUTION: Set valve for slight cushioning effect; closer can be

damaged if the checking action is too abrupt. Never use

the backcheck as a door stop. Always use a door stop to stop

the door.

Delayed action feature (Optional feature on some models):

“Delayed action” provides slow door closing through the

delayed action range. Turn valve clockwise to slow down or

counterclockwise to speed up door movement.
