INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLING YOUR DOOR CLOSER USING FITTING JIG AST9003 (Not Supplied)

the door leaf with the lip
on the knuckle side of the
door just below or above

be 22mm from the
knuckle side of the door.

to house the fixing plates
on both the door leaf and
the door frame.

Prior to installation
The closer latching is factory set to give 5° of snap action.
Remove the small locking nut on the threaded rod at the
end of the body.
Using a small flat screwdriver turn the threaded rod
anti-clockwise to decrease or clockwise to increase the
'snap action'.
After adjustment always replace the locking nut prior to
installing the closer in the door.
ADJUSTING THE DOOR CLOSING SPEED
Once installed, the closing speed may be adjusted.
A closing speed adjustment pin is located inside the body of the closer, above or below the fixing link.
The closing speed can be altered by opening the door to 90˚ and turning the adjuster pin with a
small flat screwdriver clockwise to decrease speed or anticlockwise to increase speed. When
adjusting the closing speed, please be aware that very slow settings may effect the performance of
the closer. It is recommended not to set a closing speed of less than 6 seconds.
