The closing force for these series of door closers is adjustable from a size 1 to a size 6, as outlined in ANSI Standard A156.4. When these series of door closers are installed and adjusted to conform to ADA reduced opening force rerequirements (5 lbs max.) for interior doors, they may not have adequate closing

force to reliably close and latch the door. Power adjustments charted on Page 5 are recommended, where possible, to insure proper door control.

• have 50% power increase capability. Closer size 4 has the weakest power, closer size 6 has the strongest power. Sized Door Closers 8340/8540 & 8350/8550
• can be adjusted from size 1 thru 6. Multi-Sized Closer 8341/8541 & 8351/8551

CAUTION

An incorrectly installed or improperly adjusted door closer can cause property damage or personal injury.These instructions should be followed to avoid the possibility of misapplication or misadjustment.

• Minimum frame face for pull side is 1-3/8" (35 mm).
• All components are non handed.
• The use of ball bearing hinges is recommended for the door on which the closer will be installed. Door must swing freely.
• Where severe or abusive conditions are expected a separate door stop, supplied by others, is recommended to assist in preventing damage to the door closer, closer arm; or to the door, frame or adjacent walls.
• Door and frame must be properly reinforced, or the use of special fasteners employed, to prevent door collapse or the mounting screws from pulling out.
• All dimensions are given in inches with corresponding metric dimensions (millimeters) in parentheses.

Installation Sequence Pull or Push Side Mount

• from illustrations on Page 1. • Determine hand of door and type of installation
• on Page 2 or Page 4 to locate fastener holes on door and frame. See "Preparation for Fasteners" chart. • Use template dimensions

Prepare the frame for mounting track. Drill and tap holes for 1/4-20 machine screws or #14 wood screws. Frame:

Prepare the door for mounting closer. Drill and tap (4) Door:

holes for 1/4-20 machine screws, #14 wood screws, 3/8 diameter sex-nuts, or through bolts and grommet-nuts.

If drop plate is used (see Page 4), prepare holes for Note:

8148/8548/8158 drop plate instead of closer.

Secure drop plate before mounting closer.

Position closer with: - power adjustment shaft from hinge - power adjustment shaft hinge Secure mounting screws. • Fasten closer to door or drop plate. Pull side away Push side toward

If using full metal cover, mounting clips must be slipped under ends of closer when closer is being mounted. Clips should project 1/4" (6 mm) from each end of closer. Note:

• Insert flat arm rod into arm tube with the counterbore screw hole facing up. Align counterbore with the 3rd hole in the arm tube and secure with 8-32 x 1/4 long hex socket cap screw. See illustration on Page 2 or 4. • Assemble Slide Arm.
• Install arm on closer pinion -see arm indexing illustrations below.

Pull mount: Position slide arm with counterbore facing up and align with pinion flat as

illustrated. Install onto pinion.

Push mount:

With "S" & "L" valves closed, place arm on closer pinion shaft with arm at a 45° angle to frame face. Rotate arm toward hinge at least 50°. Remove arm and reinstall on pinion with arm almost parallel to frame face, before pinion shaft can rotate far enough to create interference with door.

• Secure arm with washer and flat head phillips drive arm screw with thread lock.
