Installation Instructions
2980 Hold-Open Swing Free Arm/Pull (Hinge) Side Mounting
1 Install Body and Backplate Assembly
1. Use dimensions shown on template
provided to prepare holes.
For concealed wire applications:
Locate and drill 1-1/8" diameter
hole in the frame face for 3/4"
conduit. (This is normally done
at the time the frame is being
installed.) Connect conduit
to backplate before fastening
backplate to frame. (Figure 1)
For surface wire units:
Use conduit bracket attached to
backplate. (Figure 2)
2. Attach backplate/closer assembly to
frame. Position backplate end with
terminal strip AWAY from hinge of
frame. (Figure 1)
3. Make electrical connections as
described in Typical Wiring section.
4. Make input power connections to
power supply board as directed in
Typical Wiring section.
NOTE: If electrical connections are
to be made at a later date, place
cover on chassis now to prevent
its loss.

Installation Instructions
2980 Hold-Open Swing Free Arm/Pull (Hinge) Side Mounting
2 Install Arm and Track
Installation of the swing free arm requires
preliminary adjustment for hand of door.
1. Remove arm screws and rotate hub so that
appropriate L.H. or R.H. (hand of door)
marking aligns with arm. (Figure 3)
2. Re-install screws and spacer before
installation of arm on closer.
3. To activate swing free arm from any hold
open position, simply remove two arm
screws (and store for future use). Door
should swing freely.
4. With appropriate size wrench, rotate closer
top spindle approximately 45 degrees.
(Figure 4)
NOTE: Closing both valves for door speed
and latching speed makes this procedure
much easier.
5. Install closer arm on bottom spindle
approximately parallel to the door and arm
length AWAY from hinge.
6. Secure arm with screw and washer.
7. Remove end cap from track.
8. Position track with open side up.
9. Insert roller end of closer arm in sliding
groove of track.
10. With arm engaged in slide groove, slide
track into position so that prepared holes
on door align with track holes.
11. Replace end cap and secure track to door.

3 Final Adjustment and Regulating Procedures
Adjust Spring Power According to Chart
(Figure 5)
Turn spring adjustment nut clockwise the
required number of turns to match door
width as indicated in chart.
NOTE:
• Where strong drafts exist, increase
spring power as needed.
• 351 Style door closers normally leave
the factory with spring adjustment
set at eight (8) turns.
Adjustment Instructions (Figure 6)
Minimum recommended door closing
time is 6 seconds for doors opened to
90 degrees.
Using 1/8" hex wrench, turn valve screw
clockwise to slow down or counter
clockwise to speed up door movement.
Turn backcheck valve clockwise to increase
intensity of backcheck action or counter
clockwise to decrease checking (as
desired).
CAUTION: Set backcheck valve for a slight
cushioning effect. It is damaging to the
closer if the checking action is too abrupt.
Backcheck should never be used as a
door stop. Always use a door stop to stop
the door.
Install Cover (Figure 7)
1. Assemble three (3) short cover
screws (#8-32 x 5/16") into bottom of
closer body cover mounting bracket
approximately one (1) turn.
2. Slide cover onto backplate and closer
assembly. Secure with three (3) cover
screws.
CAUTION: Avoid interference with
electronics and wires during installation
of cover.
