For applications not covered in these instructions, a separate template will be required.
• y Prepare door and frame for fasteners. See "Preparation for Fasteners" on page 2.
• y 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 , COUNTERCLOCKWISE to Decrease power. See Page 6 for the illustration of this step.
