adjustment pin to extend beyond the hinge barrel

tension on the tension adjustment pin at any

time during the adjustment.

c.) Following the indicators on the + or - symbol on

the hinge barrel, turn the tension adjustment pin

loosen. DO NOT adjust by more than 1/4 turn,

unless you want to disable the self-closing feature

(Fig. 10).

- Self-closing feature can be disabled by

loosening the tension adjustment pin

one full turn.

- Do not over-tighten or over-loosen the

tension adjustment pin, as this may

damage the tension spring.

down on the head of the tension adjustment pin to

lock it back into the hinge barrel. Tabs on pin head
