Main risks

• Finger entrapment at the closing edge and hinge due to automatic closing.
• Impact injuries from sudden closing or unexpected door return, especially in draughts.
• Pinching in the articulated arm or sliding track during opening or closing.
• Damage to frames, walls or glass door panels due to excessive force or an inappropriate opening angle.
• Falls or impacts during installation at height or when handling tools.
• Loosening of fixings with use, with a risk of misalignment or detachment of the mechanism.
• Oil or grease leaks that stain and create slippery surfaces.
• Obstructions in the door's path that may be dragged along or cause jamming.

Safe use

• Choose a model compatible with the door's size, weight and type; confirm the opening direction before fitting.
• Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the fixing position and the mechanism's initial adjustment.
• Support the door during installation and work in a clear area; use a stable ladder and, where appropriate, gloves and safety glasses.
• Use suitable fixings and anchors for the door leaf and frame materials; ensure a solid base.
• Adjust the closing speed and final latching for a controlled close without slamming; test operation several times.
• Keep hands and objects away from hinges, the closing edge and the door closer arms.
• Use compatible stops or limiters to prevent impacts against walls or furniture and to avoid exceeding the maximum angle.
• Do not force the arm or the door; do not use the door for support or to hang objects.
• After installing or readjusting, verify that the door opens and closes with reasonable force for users.

Storage and maintenance

• Store the mechanism and its fixings in its packaging, in a dry, clean place protected from impacts.
• Avoid stacking heavy objects on the product to prevent deformation of arms or housings.
• Periodically inspect screws, pivots and arms; retighten if necessary and correct misalignment.
• Check and, if appropriate, readjust the closing speeds when temperature or usage conditions change.
• Clean with a soft cloth; avoid aggressive solvents and lubricants not specified by the manufacturer.
• Monitor for possible fluid leaks; in case of leaks or irregular operation, replace the mechanism.
• Keep the door's travel path and swing area clear of obstructions.
• Replace worn components only with compatible spares from the manufacturer.

Usage restrictions

• Do not use the door closer on door leaves outside the weight or size range specified for the model.
• Do not install outdoors or in very humid or saline environments unless the product is designed for it.
• Do not fit to glass doors without suitable fittings compatible with this type of door.
• Do not block the door with wedges or objects; if you need to keep it open, use compatible hold-open devices or stops.
• Do not modify, drill or open the door closer body; do not force the adjusters beyond their travel.
• Do not hang from the door or allow children to play with it.
• Avoid use in areas with very strong winds without suitable limiting or retaining accessories.
• In environments with children, older adults or people with reduced mobility, supervise use and adjust force and speed to avoid strain or impacts.
