Installation Instructions

ASSA ABLOY

• Select angle of opening and use dimensions shown on Page 4 and Dimension Chart below to locate 4 holes on stop side of door for closer body ( or 8148 drop plate, only if required, see page 5) and 5 holes on stop and/or rabbet for Soffit Plate. 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.

• With door closed, closer valves 'S' and 'L'. Then with a wrench, turn pinion shaft 50° or more to permit proper alignment of arm mark with pinion flat -
  • 'L' for Left hand door.
  • 'R' for Right hand door.

See Arm Mounting Detail and Main Arm Installation at right below. (Caution: Closer arm is under spring tension and may be difficult to rotate.)

• Reopen valves 'S' and 'L' by turning counter clockwise.
• With door closed, align soffit plate with mounting holes in frame. Fasten soffit plate to frame with flat head screws provided.... use spacer blocks 2019S or 6891, if required. (Caution: Closer arm is under spring tension and may be difficult to rotate.)
• Make closer adjustments (see page 6) before installing cover ... NOTE: DO NOT back valves out of closer or a leak will result.
• Install cover (see page 6).

Hold-Open Feature

The hold-open mechanism is controlled by the hex nut feature located on the secondary arm underneath cap. Remove the cap by pulling straight down. Use a 7/16" wrench to adjust. Turning hex nut feature clockwise will increase the hold-open force. Turning hex nut feature counterclockwise will reduce the hold-open force. Holdopen mechanism can not be disengaged.

Unit Adjustment

Closing Power Adjustment (8X01 closers only – Using "Power Adjustment Chart" from Page 3, select the correct number of turns for power adjustment shaft that corresponds with the installation. With 1/8" hex-key provided, rotate adjustment shaft full 360° clockwise turns to desired setting. After closer has been installed and proper adjustments made to the sweep and latch, it may be necessary to readjust spring power for good closing action.

Control Valve Adjustments

(See Figure 2.)

Closing Speed Controls (Figure 1A or 1B and 2.)

• Valve "S" Controls Sweep Range.
• Valve "L" Controls Latch Range.
• Valve "D" Controls Delay Range (optional).
