• 1. See reverse side of this sheet to machine door & frame.
• 2. Dimensions based on 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" full mortise butt hinges with 5/8" stop and 1/8" door gap.
• 3. Confirm door & frame are properly reinforced.
• 4. Sex nuts required for un-reinforced or composite fire doors.
• 5. Do not install closer on the exterior (weather) side of building.

TOOLS REQUIRED:

• 1. Power drill
• 2. 10mm box/combo wrench
• 3. Phillips screw driver
• 4. #7 or 13/64" drill bit and 1/4-20 tap (metal screws)
• 5. Tap handle
• 6. 5/32" drill bit (wood screws)
• 7. 3/8" drill bit (sex nuts)

PREPARE DOOR AND FRAME:

• 1. Determine proper opening angle.
• 2. Determine door hand (LH or RH).
• 3. Using template (see reverse side), mark holes on door & frame.

INSTALL CLOSER AND ARM:

• 1. Attach closer body to frame face. Sweep and latch valves point toward hinge.
• 2. Attach foot to door.

• 3. Secure main arm to closer spindle 90° to door/frame.
• 4. Connect adjustment arm with foot assembly: Rotate main arm until adjustment arm is 90° to door & frame. Tighten arm screw or bolt.

ADJUST SPRING POWER:

1. 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 (-).

5300/5500 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:

• 1. Slip cover over closer until flush with door face.
• Wide Cover Orient cover so cutout is at bottom of closer body. Secure to closer with screw on each end. Narrow Cover - Cover will snap into slots on closer body. Install dust cap over top closer pinion.

NOTE: Sweep, latch, backcheck, and optional delayed action valves are all accessible after cover installation.
