Example installation instructions (model 354 in this example) Secure the flat Check Bracket “B’ on the jamb or gate post. If Angle Surface Top Pivot “N” is used, mount to the surface of the jamb or gate post as shown. Flanged Arm “R” may be placed on the Closer Spindle in a position to hold the door open at 90° or to close the door. The four screws at the bottom of the flanges are for use in centering a double acting door and for pulling a single acting door toward the door stop to insure full closing. THE ARM CLAMPING SCREWS MUST BE TIGHT. Use wrench supplied. The door is then hung, the last operation being to screw the arm tightly to the bottom of the door. Double Acting Doors: If the door does not center properly in the opening, LOOSEN THE ARM CLAMPING SCREW until the door swings free on the knurled bushing on the Closer Spindle. Move the door to the desired position and TIGHTEN THE CLAMPING SCREWS. (BE SURE THEY ARE VERY TIGHT.) Single Acting Door: Adjust the closing speed of the door with the valve located near the bottom of the Closer to allow the door to close quickly without slamming. Double Acting Door: Adjust the valve so door is dampened (no “flip-flop”) at the closed position. Example installation instructions (model 359 in this example) Secure the flat Check Bracket “B’ on the jamb or gate post. THE ARM CLAMPING SCREWS MUST BE TIGHT. Use wrench supplied. The door is then hung, the last operation being to screw the arm tightly to the bottom of the door. Single Acting Door: Adjust the closing speed of the door with the valve located near the bottom of the Closer to allow the door to close quickly without slamming. Where the door is hung on spring hinges, be sure to release the spring power on the hinges. The door rail may be mounted on the bottom surface of the door or mortised flush. Sliding Arm “T” - Using the clamping screw, LOCK ARM VERY SECURELY to the Closer Spindle in a position such that the arm roller is about 1.0” (25.4) past the center line of the door when the door is closed and the Closer is at rest. This will insure the door closing tightly against the door stop. Slide the door rail over the arm roller and screw the rail securely to bottom of door.
