This is an excellent video for someone that has never installed a closer before. Our favorite closers are the LCN's. The first thing we do when we open the box is throw away the templates. They take more time than simply measuring and marking. We install 4040's in less than 10 minutes. Closers are the money makers.
6:38 One thing you showed properly but didn't explain, was when you put the arm on, you put it on NOT inline/parallel with the closer, but you put it on the next position past so it appears to be "too far", then pulled it back later. This is correct and very important. It "pre loads" the arm so it will always be under tension, right through the last few inches of closing. The other method is using a wrench to pull it into tension, THEN put the arm on in the correct position. I've had to repair a few (not just this model) where they w ere not preloaded and wouldn't shut properly unless the adjustment speed was set to "fast" so it slams.
Aluminum doors for curtain wall need to consider the arm length and drop plate selections. Below shows the detail ua-cam.com/video/at_nbsO7BxY/v-deo.html

Thank you for the feedback!
