Installation Instructions
- Select angle of opening and use dimensions shown on Page 4 and Dimension Chart below to locate 4 holes on stop side of door for closer body (or 4 holes on stop side of door for 1688 drop plate, only if required, see Page 5), and 5 holes on stop and/or rabbet for Soffit Plate (or 4 holes on face of transom for 2019L bracket). For applications not covered in these instructions, a separate template will be required.
- Prepare door and frame for fasteners. See "Preparation for Fasteners", Page 2.
- 1601 closers only: Set closer power for door size using Power Adjustment Chart below. Use 1/8" hex wrench supplied to adjust Power Adjustment Shaft ... 18 turns maximum. Turn nut CLOCKWISE to Increase, COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to Decrease power. See Page 6 for the illustration of this step.
- Mount 1688 Drop plate ... only if required (see Page 5).
- Install closer with "S" and "L" valves away from hinge edge of door. Note: If using cover, thread in screws before mounting closer. Leave enough gap between the head of the screw and the closer to slide the cover on.
Install Main Arm: Close valves - 'S' and 'L', then turn pinion shaft more than 50° to permit proper alignment of arm mark with pinion flat -
'L' for Left hand door.
'R' for Right hand door.
See "Main Arm Installation Instructions" below.
Make closer adjustments (see page 6) before installing cover ... CAUTION: Do not back valves out of closer completely or a leak will result.
Caution: Closer arm is under spring tension and may be difficult to rotate.
- Reopen valves by turning counter clockwise.
- With door closed, align soffit plate with mounting holes in frame. Fasten soffit plate to frame with oval head screws provided.... use spacer blocks 2019S or 6891, if required.
- If being used, slide the cover over the closer and secure the mounting screws after the closer has been mounted and adjusted.
