2. Handing

To change hands remove (4) screws and vertical lifter assembly.

Rotate device to oppsite hand (180 degrees).

Insert lifter assembly under lift block and re-install screws.

3. Maintenance

• 1. Periodically remove covers and coat mechanisms with a silicone base lubricant. This is particularly required in corrosive environments for proper product function.
• 2. Check mounting fasteners periodically. Retighten if found loose. Apply screw locking compound (available at automotive part stores) or change part fasteners if screws continue to back out.
• 3. Periodic checks (and adjustments) of strikes are required to compensate for changes in the opening (e.g. door sagging).

4. Pre-Installation

Unreinforced Doors or Frames

Doors and Frames with walls having a structural thickness (metal skin plus reinforcement or solid hardwood) to engage less than (3) full screw threads are considered unreinforced.

Unreinforced Doors: Use SNB (sex nuts and bolts).

Unreinforced Frames: Use Blind Rivet Nuts.

Recommended fasteners for unreinforced openings are not necessarily supplied by ASSA ABLOY ACCENTRA™.

Size Device

Determine device length

• 1. Close door. Measure 2-1/4" (57mm) from the stop surface on the hinge side of the door. Mark horizontal reference at this point.
• NOTE: This dimension must be 3/8" (10mm) minimum from edge of the stile on the door.
• 2. Open door. Align mounting holes in device with mounting holes in the door. Mark device where it crosses the mark from Step 1. If mark is less than 1-3/8" (35mm) min. from dogginghole, a shorter device is required.
• 3. Before cutting, make sure the end cover is in place and there is no gap between it and the pushpad. Cut device on mark from Step 2.

5. Installation, continued Rod Preparation & Assembly

NOTE: Below listed instructions are based on a device mounted 39-15/16" (1014mm) from finished floor or threshold. Any deviation on device mounting height must be accommodated to insure proper device function.

A. Top Rod Sizing

1. For openings under 7' (2134 mm), subtract the actual opening height from 7' (2134 mm).

Example:

6'8" (2032mm) opening

7'0" (2134mm) - 6'8" (2032mm)

= 4" (102mm)

Top Rod must have 4" (102 mm) cut from end with 1/8 " (3mm) thru hole. Use attached drill fixture to locate and re-drill 1/8" (3mm) dia. hole thru the top rod. Make sure rod bottoms out inside drill fixture prior to drilling. (See Figure 5A ).

2. For opening over 7' (2134 mm), subtract 7' (2134 mm) from the actual opening height.

Example:

7'6" (2286mm) - 7'0" (2134mm)

= 6" (152mm).

Top Rod must have a 6" (152mm) extension added to length (See below for available rod lengths).

B. Assemble Top Rod

Insert Top Rod Connector into sized Top Rod and Install 1/8 " (3 mm) x 1/2 " (13mm) Roll Pin thru both pieces until flush on both sides. (See Figure 5B ).

Figure 5A: Drill Pin Hole

Figure 5B: Top Rod Assembly

Rod Extension Options

Bottom Bolt Assembly

A. Thread Bottom Bolt into Bottom Rod Assembly. B. Leave 1/2 " (13mm) for adjustment.

5. Installation, continued Complete Installation

A. Install Top Rod and 791 Strike

1. Thread Top Rod Assembly onto Top Latch. Lift rod to fully retract Top Latchbolt. Depress Pushpad and hold depressed. Adjust top rod length until Rod Connector seats into the Slide Assembly in latch case.

NOTE: For 7170 devices, skip section (2a) and 2(b). See the installation instructions for the 726 strike on page 9.

• 2a. Position the Top Strike Roller between the Tripping Lever and the Bolt on the Top Latch. Verify hole positions and prepare holes per Installation Instruction Template.
• 2b. Install Top Strike and Strike Plate using (2) #10-24 x 3/4 " (19mm) PFHMS thru outer slots. Adjust and shim strike as needed for zero door rattle. Add third screw (#10-24 x 3/4 " (19mm) PFHMS) after final adjustments.
• 3. If Top Bolt does not remain retracted when door is opened, Top Rod is too short. Pull rod out of the guide and the slide then rotate rod to increase length. Upper Bolt should retract flat.
• 4. If upper latch will not deadlock, Top rod is too long. Pull rod out of the guide and the slide and rotate to decrease length.
• * If 7170 LBR, skip section B.

B. Install Lower Rod and 790 Strike

• 1. With door open, actuate Pushpad to retract upper latch. Hang Lower rod from bottom of Slide and adjust bolt so that it clears the finished floor by 1/4 " .
• 2. Verify location of pipe strike template. Prepare the strike hole and install the pipe strike. Set in place with appropriate bonding material.
• 3. With the door open, actuate pushpadt o retract upper latch. Adjust bolt height by pulling the rod out of the guide and slide and rotating until the bolt clears the pipe strike by 1/8 " .
• C. Test device action by Touchbar, by Trim, by Dogging.

D. Install covers.

NOTE: Bottom Bolt will retract to 1/8 " (3mm) above Floor Strike. Floor covering in the door path must be laid out accordingly.

NOTES:

• 1. For 7170 series devices omit the 791 strike and use this template with the 726 strike template (page 17).
• 2. Mark rods line on door face. Note that the centerline of the rods and strikes, used to install top and bottom bolts, is not the vertical reference centerline.
• 3. For LBR devices, omit bottom latch and strike installation steps and see separate instructions for top latch and strike.
• 4. Unreinforced frames require that #10-24 blind rivet nuts (by others) be used to bolt strike. Frames are considered not reinforced when strike mounting screws cannot engage (3) full threads.
• 5. Dimensions are given in inches (mm).
