automatically close. Beyond this position, the
door will stay open.

3. Insert a small screwdriver into the retaining
clip at the bottom of the shock absorber and
lift up (see photo).

absorber off the pivot ball as shown.
5. Remove the door closer assembly by pulling it
forward. Make certain to retain the white nylon
shock absorber support.
To install the door closer:

easier, secure the white nylon support to the
cylinder body with electrical tape .
