Install Body and Backplate Assembly

1. Use dimensions shown on template provided to prepare holes.

For concealed wire applications: Locate and drill 1-1/8" diameter hole in the frame face for 3/4" conduit. (This is normally done at the time the frame is being installed.) Connect conduit to backplate before fastening backplate to frame. (Figure 1)

For surface wire units:

Use conduit bracket attached to backplate. (Figure 2)

• 2. Attach backplate/closer assembly to frame. Position backplate end with terminal strip AWAY from hinge of frame. (Figure 1)
• 3. Make electrical connections as described in Typical Wiring section.
• 4. Make input power connections to power supply board as directed in Typical Wiring section.

NOTE: If electrical connections are to be made at a later date, place cover on chassis now to prevent its loss.

2 Install Arm and Track

Installation of the swing free arm requires preliminary adjustment for hand of door.

• 1. Remove arm screws and rotate hub so that appropriate L.H. or R.H. (hand of door) marking aligns with arm. (Figure 3)
• 2. Re-install screws and spacer before installation of arm on closer.
• 3. To activate swing free arm from any hold open position, simply remove two arm screws (and store for future use). Door should swing freely.
• 4. With appropriate size wrench, rotate closer top spindle approximately 45 degrees. (Figure 4)

NOTE: Closing both valves for door speed and latching speed makes this procedure much easier.

• 5. Install closer arm on bottom spindle approximately parallel to the door and arm length AWAY from hinge.
• 6. Secure arm with screw and washer.
• 7. Remove end cap from track.
• 8. Position track with open side up.
• 9. Insert roller end of closer arm in sliding groove of track.
• 10. With arm engaged in slide groove, slide track into position so that prepared holes on door align with track holes.
• 11. Replace end cap and secure track to door.

3 Final Adjustment and Regulating Procedures

Adjust Spring Power According to Chart (Figure 5)

Turn spring adjustment nut clockwise the required number of turns to match door width as indicated in chart.

NOTE:

• • Where strong drafts exist, increase spring power as needed.
• • 351 Style door closers normally leave the factory with spring adjustment set at eight (8) turns.

Maximum Width of Door Interior Only	Clockwise Turns of Adjusting Nut
2' 8"	8
3' 0"	8
3' 6"	12
4' 0"	16
Max adjustment is approx 20

turns. Do not forcibly extend adjustment beyond limits.

Adjustment Instructions (Figure 6)

Minimum recommended door closing time is 6 seconds for doors opened to 90 degrees.

Using 1/8" hex wrench, turn valve screw clockwise to slow down or counter clockwise to speed up door movement.

Turn backcheck valve clockwise to increase intensity of backcheck action or counter clockwise to decrease checking (as desired).

CAUTION: Set backcheck valve for a slight cushioning effect. It is damaging to the closer if the checking action is too abrupt. Backcheck should never be used as a door stop. Always use a door stop to stop the door.
