Installation Sequence

Read Front Page.

Installations and component identification are on this page. Arm assembly must be correct for width of door, see chart.

Select Correct Door and Frame Template Combination.

Follow "Template Information" on Page 2 or Pages 2 and 3.

Mark Location of Mounting Holes.

Use dimensions for hold-open or door stop angle desired. Mark position of 4 holes on door for closer (or drop plate) and 6 holes on frame for soffit plate (or 4 for 589L angle bracket).

• Prepare Holes for Fasteners.

See "Preparation for Fasteners" chart on Page 2.

UNI51 or UNI51BF Models Only. Set approximate closing power using "Power Adjustment Chart" at bottom of Page 2.

Mount Closer to Door.

Drop Plate first, if used. Place end with "S" and "L" valves toward the lock edge of the door. If using optional cover see "Cover" instructions at bottom of Page 4.

• Mount Arm to Frame.

Fasten soffit plate (or 589L angle bracket if flush partition) to frame. Mount 6190 bracket or 6191 clamps to reinforce soffit plate.

Install Arm on Pinion Shaft.

Close valves "S" and "L". Rotate pinion over 45° to align main arm letter "R" (right hand) or "L" (left hand) with pinion flat. Fasten with arm screw. See "Typical Installation" figure above right. Re-open valves "S" and "L".

Screw pinion cap onto the pinion shaft by hand or with a Phillips screw driver - DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. Skip this step if optional cover is used.

Adjust Closer.

See "Unit Adjustment" on Page 4.

Unit Adjustment

Closing Speed Control

Valve "S" controls Sweep Range.

Valve "L" controls Latch Range.

Attention: Adjust Closing Speed Time to between 4 to 7 seconds from $90^\{\backslash circ\}$ . Use of the door by handicapped, elderly or small children may require greater closing time. ADA code requires that door take at least 3 seconds to close from 70° of door opening to within 3" (75mm) of the closed position.

Closing Cycle

NOTE: By law the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) may require that door closer installation comply with accessability quidelines.
