For applications not covered in these instructions, a separate template will be required.
- Prepare door and frame for fasteners. See "Preparation for Fasteners", Page 2.
- Set approximate closer power for door size using Power Adjustment Chart below. Use 1/8" hex wrench supplied to adjust Power Adjustment Shaft (set at 8 turns from factory) ... 20 turns maximum. Turn nut CLOCKWISE to Increase, COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to Decrease power. See Page 6 for the illustration of this step.
- Mount 8148 Dropplate ... only if required (see Page 5).
- Install closer with power adjustment shaft toward hi n ge edge of door. Note: If using full metal cover, cover mounting clips must be slipped under ends of closer when closer is being mounted. Clips should project 1/4" (6mm) beyond each end of closer.
- For suffix "H" only, check that hand of arm matches hand of door. See arm illustration on page 2 for location of arm handing mark.
