Use 4 mm hex key provided to adjust to size on chart. Clockwise (CW) turns increase spring power (+). Counter-clockwise (CCW) turns decrease spring power (-).

5100 Series closers can be adjusted to meet ADA Barrier Free (BF) applications. Compliance with ADA/BF requirements may result with door not fully closing and latching. Check with local AHJ. Closer size may vary due to site conditions.

CONTROL ADJUSTMENTS:

CRITICAL: For closer longevity, BACKCHECK must be adjusted to significantly slow opening of door before arm bottoms on stop.

Closing time of 3-7 seconds is typical. More time may be needed for ADA/BF access. Clockwise (CW) = SLOWER. Counter-clockwise (CCW) = FASTER. DO NOT REMOVE VALVES

• 1. Use hex key provided.
• 2. Adjust SWEEP (closing max.°- 10°).
• 3. Adjust LATCH (closing 10°-0°).
• 4. Adjust BACKCHECK resistance (opening 70°- max.°). DO NOT COMPLETELY CLOSE VALVE
• Adjust (optional) DELAYED ACTION (closing max.°- 70°); Provides additional hesitation for access (ADA/BF) through door.

INSTALL COVER:

• 8 1. Align cover with closer spindle. Slide insert into unused cutout.
  • 2. Slide cover over closer until flush with door face.
