Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Identify the door swing (left or right) and choose the appropriate mounting configuration (regular, top-jamb, or parallel arm).
- Follow the detailed instructions provided in the installation manual, ensuring all screws and bolts are securely tightened.
- Adjust the spring tension (Size 1-6) to match the door's weight and desired closing speed.
- Fine-tune the back-check and sweep speed settings for controlled operation.
Compatibility:
This closer is designed for commercial-grade doors and frames. It is non-handed and suitable for regular, top-jamb, or parallel arm installations. Ensure the mounting surface is structurally sound to support the weight of the closer (7.75 lbs) and the forces exerted during operation. Check local building codes for specific requirements, especially for fire-rated doors.
Care:
- Regularly inspect the closer body, arm, and mounting screws for tightness. Re-tighten as needed.
- Keep the closer mechanism clean and free from dust and debris. Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the sprayed aluminum finish.
- Periodically check the fluid levels within the cylinder. If leaks are suspected, contact a professional.
