A. PARALLEL ARM INSTALLATION FOR PUSH-SIDE MOUNT
6Set main arm on top closer pinion,
PARALLEL to door slab. Use wrench to
rotate bottom closer pinion approximately
45° towards hinge-side. As bottom closer
pinion is rotated, main arm will slide onto top
pinion. Use the 'L' and 'R' marked on main
arm to determine direction of swing. Main
arm will point away from hinge-side. Refer to
Figure A.3 for illustration of handing. Tightly
secure using (1) 3⁄4" hex screw with lock
washer. (Figure A.3 & A.4)
8For QDC 311, remove the arm shoe from the
forearm. Install and secure the forearm to
the parallel bracket pin using screw provided.
Open door to allow the forearm to slide into
the main arm. Loosely fasten the forearm
to the main arm using (1) 1⁄2" hex screw with
washer. Close door, rotate main arm until 1"
away from door slab. Tighten hex screw to
secure forearm in place.
For QDC 312, Install and secure the arm
assembly to the parallel bracket pin using
screw provided. (For LEFT hand door,
position the hold open nut down. For RIGHT
hand door, position the hold open nut up.)
Open door to allow the main arm to slide into
the arm assembly. Close door, rotate main
arm until 1" away from door slab. Tighten set
screw to secure the arm assembly in place.
