4. Making Adjustments to the Holder

  • A. Closer spring force should be as low as possible. (Closer should arrive at lowest setting).
  • B. Turn OFF Power (using ON/OFF switch).
  • C. To set Hold Open:
    • 1. Door should be in CLOSED position.
    • 2. Raise or lower cam until the word "Push" is displayed from the UNDERSIDE of the unit (Fig 4a).
    • 3. Open door to desired Hold Open position.
    • 4. Raise or lower cam and ROTATE until pocket of cam is in position next to Roller A shown in Fig 4b
    • 5. Release cam to re-engage teeth.
    • 6. Turn ON power (using ON/OFF switch).
    • 7. OPEN DOOR. Door should stay in Hold Open position–if not, repeat Steps 3 and 4.
    • 8. Pull door OUT of Hold Open–door should close freely.
    • 9. OPEN DOOR . If releasing force needs to be increased, turn adjusting nut IN. If lesser holding force is desired, turn nut OUT .

Trouble-Shooting Tips:

  • 1. Turn ON power.
  • 2. Can door swing far enough to engage hold open? Minimum opening is 85°.
  • 3. Make sure closer is at lowest spring setting.
  • 4. Put piece of metal against the magnet to make sure it is receiving current.
  • 5. If not, double check wiring instructions.
  • 6. If so, with door in closed position look up at holder mechanism. Word PUSH should be visible, if not, adjust cam.
  • 7. Turn adjusting nut.
  • 8. Check arm indexing.

5. Closer Adjustments

  • A. Manually pull door out of Hold Open.
  • B. If closing force is too weak, turn adjusting nut on end of closer (Fig 5a) clockwise.
  • C. Put door in Hold Open position.
  • D. If door does not stay in Hold Open, re-adjust closing force until door latches but the force of the closer does NOT pull door out of Hold Open.
  • E. Adjust closing speed. (Fig 5b)
  • F. Adjust latch speed. (This speed should be slightly faster than closing speed.)
  • G. Attach covers to closer and holder with screws provided.
