• Screw closer body to the door using (4) 1/4-20 x 1 1/2" screws.
The speed regulating valves on the closer must face lock stile
of door.
• Screw arm bracket to frame soffit using (5) 1/4-20 x 1 1/2"
screws. Do not tighten screws all the way to make mounting
the arm to the closer easier.
The fifth hole spacer shown above can be used when a narrow
soffit prevents normal mounting. Drill/tap a 1/4-20 hole in the
frame rabbet. Place the spacer between the bracket and frame
and tighten using a 1/4-20 x 2” screw.
• If using a drop plate, screw the drop plate to the door using
1/4-20 screws. Screw closer to the drop plate using 7/16"
long machine screws.
• Use an adjustable wrench to rotate the bottom pinion shaft
about 45 degrees in the direction away from the door.
• Place arm on the top pinion shaft so that the “R” or the “L” is
in line with the pinion flat as shown in the picture below.
• Attach the arm securely to the closer with the pinion screw.
Tighten bracket to the frame if it was left loose during arm
installation.
