4) From top of door, screw top rod (B) into inner chassis (A) and from bottom of door, screw bottom rod (C) into inner chassis (A).

Note: If 700 Series ET Control is being used, it must be installed at this point. See installation instructions at the far right.

5) Position chassis (D) over fillister head screw (HH) and

Top rod

attach to door with (4) screws (CC). Do not tighten yet. Use chassis (D) to retract top rod (B) & bottom rod (C) to adjust bolt projection.
