IMPORTANT:

• An improperly installed or incorrectly adjusted door closer may cause property damage or personal injury; and will void product warranty.
• To avoid personal injury, DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THIS DOOR CLOSER BODY .
• Door closers must be securely fastened to a properly reinforced door and frame with fasteners provided.

BEFORE INSTALLING:

• The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that doors having door closers have an opening force not to exceed 5 lbf. Use standard templating for regular arm and parallel arm applications. Jamb mounted applications use the template for 140° door opening to achieve the required opening force.
• The door closer's power size adjustment feature may require adjustment to its lowest setting to comply with ADA opening force guidelines.
• ADA compliant closers are: 9500.

HD Regular Arm Template

To obtain extra closing force add 3" (77) to dimensions marked. This will limit degree of door opening to 130°.

NOTES:

• Check hand of door, see page 2.
• Right Hand Application Shown. Left Hand Opposite.
• Dimensions given in inches (mm). Do Not Scale Drawing.
• Closer must be mounted level to ensure proper closer performance.
• Door opening (up to 180°) is dependent upon door, frame, wall and hinge/pivot conditions permitting.
• Maximum Hinge Side Reveal 1/8" (3).

HD Regular Arm Installation Sequence

• Select angle of opening and use dimensions shown in template to locate 4 holes on door for Closer Mounting Bracket (or 4 holes for optional drop plate) and 2 holes on jamb for arm bracket.
• For applications that are different from above, a separate template will be supplied for door and frame preparation.
• Prepare door and frame for fasteners using "Preparation for Fasteners" chart, Figure 2, Page 4.
• Fasten Closer Mounting Bracket to door. Fasten optional drop plate to door, only if it is required for the door conditions.
• Install closer body with tube end away from hinge, with valves: Down for Left Hand door / UP for Right Hand door.
• Position arm on closer. Main arm projects straight out at 90° angle to door. Install and tighten 5/16 Hex Head Arm Screw & Washer assembly.

• Preload and fasten arm to frame. Close door, swing arms so that they form a "V" position. Align holes in arm bracket with pre-drilled holes on frame and install attaching screw.
