Closer Adjustment

Closing speeds can be adjusted to suit local conditions and requirements. Turn the adjusting screw that projects through the floor plate or threshold, either in or out as the case may be until the desired action is attained. Turn this valve screw to the right, clockwise, to decrease closing speed and to the left to increase the closing speed. FORCING THIS SCREW DOWN WILL IMPAIR ITS OPERATION.

Spring Power Adjustments

There is no spring power adjustment. If the spring power is not adequate a heavier duo-check should be installed. All duo-checks PH10, PH12, 15, 16 are interchangeable.

• 2. Case should be parallel with centerline of door.
• CEMENT CASE SHOULD BE LEVEL. Place levels per illustration.
• 4. Grout in cement case with closer. Cement should not get between closer and case.

D. WOOD FLOOR INSTALLATION:

• Locate center line of closer 2" out from face of frame. Using dimensioned outline of closer locate and bore (8) 3/4" diameter holes. Cut out the floor using these bored holes and the dimensioned outline as a guide.
• 2. Place arm on spindle of closer and set closer into opening, with center of arm on line with center of door. Draw a line around overlapping square top of casting. Mortise for this overlap allowing 1/16" for floor plate thickness. Top of closer case will be 1/16" below finished floor.
