Aligning the Hydraulic Door Closer

6/16/16: The bolt was adjusted to the correct position. It needs to be monitored for slipping.

The door closer has one bolt which governs the length of a variable length arm.

The length of the variable length arm determines the angle at which the door is completely closed.

If the arm is too long or too short, the door will not close completely.

The current mechanism's ideal setting is in the image below.

The ideal length setting for the variable arm / bolt.
