Troubleshooting

Door closes too quickly or slams shut

Adjust the speed control screw to slow down the closing action. Ensure the door is within the specified weight and width limits for the selected power setting (EN3/EN4).

Door does not latch completely

Adjust the latching speed control screw to ensure the door has enough momentum to fully engage the latch. Verify that the closer is set to the correct power size for the door.

Door is difficult to open

Check that the closing power is not set too high. Ensure the closer arm is not obstructed and that the door hinges are not binding.

Closer arm is loose

Tighten the screws securing the closer arm to the shoe and the main body. Ensure all mounting screws are secure.

Oil leakage from the unit

If oil is leaking, the unit may be damaged and should be replaced. Contact the manufacturer or supplier for a replacement.

  3. Power Adjustment: Adjust the hydraulic power screws to achieve the desired closing speed and latching action. Start with factory settings and make small adjustments.
