4. Installation Guide
The ABUS Door Closer 2603 is designed for quick and easy installation without the need for tools.

- Position the Door Closer: Open the door. Place the main body of the door closer onto the top edge of the door frame, ensuring the L-shaped arm extends over the door. The small lever arm should rest against the door itself.
- Secure Placement: Gently push the door closer down onto the door frame until it sits firmly. The design allows it to clip securely without additional fasteners.
- Test Functionality: Slowly close the door to verify that the door closer engages correctly and provides a smooth, controlled closing motion.

5. Operating Instructions
The ABUS Door Closer 2603 features an adjustable closing speed to suit your preference.
5.1 Adjusting Closing Speed
The closing speed can be adjusted to one of three settings. Locate the adjustment mechanism, typically a small dial or set of holes on the side of the closer's main body. Use a small tool (e.g., a screwdriver or a pen tip) to select the desired speed setting. A higher setting will result in a faster closing speed, while a lower setting will provide a slower, more gentle close.

- Check for Obstructions: Periodically ensure that no objects are obstructing the door closer's mechanism or the door's path.
