CAUTION
An incorrectly installed or improperly adjusted door closer can cause property damage or personal injury. These instructions should be followed to avoid the possibility of misapplication or misadjustment.
With or without suffix "DA" (Delayed Action) closing.
Note:
The closing force for series 7500 door closer is adjustable from a size 1 to a size 6, as outlined in ANSI Standard A156.4. When this series of door closer is installed and adjusted to conform to ADA reduced opening force requirements (5 lbs max.) for interior doors, it may not have adequate closing force to reliably close and latch the door. Power adjustments charted on pages 3,4 and 5 are recommended where possible, to ensure proper door control.
For Special Applications a separate door and frame preparation template is packed with these instructions. Use this instruction sheet for installation sequence and closer adjustments only.
Components: Figure 1
- It is recommended that the door, on which the door closer will be installed, be hung on ball bearing hinges. Door must swing freely.
- A separate door stop, supplied by others, is recommended to prevent damage to the door closer, closer arm; or to the door, frame or adjacent walls.
- Door and Frame must be properly reinforced, or use of special fasteners employed, to prevent the mounting screws from pulling out.
- All dimensions are given in inches with corresponding metric dimensions (millimeters) in parentheses.
- Door closer should never be installed on the exterior of a building.

Installation Sequence
- Select angle of opening and use dimensions shown in template and chart to locate 4 holes on door for closer body (or 4 holes for optional 7786SS backplate) and 2 holes on frame face for arm shoe. For applications that are different from above, a separate template will be supplied for door and frame preparation.
- Prepare door and frame for fasteners using "Preparation for Fasteners" chart, Figure 2, Page 2.
- Fasten optional 7786SS backplate to door, only if it is required for the door conditions.
- Install closer body with tube end away from hinge, with valves:
Down for Left Hand door UP for Right Hand door.
- Remove forearm screw from elbow joint and disassemble arm, see Figure 1, Page 2. Fasten arm shoe (forearm) to frame face.
- Install main arm onto closer pinion shaft, aligning arm mark "S" with the one flat corner of the square shaft "Pinion Flat", see illustration at right. Secure with hex head main arm screw and flat washer.
Close door and adjust forearm length so that the forearm is perpendicular (at a 90° angle) to the door when it is connected to the main arm. Install and tighten forearm screw and washer.
Make closer adjustments, if required, using information below and on Page 6, then install closer cover.

Closing Speed Controls (Figure 4A or 4B and 5.)
- Valve "S/D" Controls Sweep Range on Standard closer (or Delayed Range on Delayed Action closer).
- Valve "L" Controls Latch Range.
- Valve "S" Controls Sweep only on Delayed Action closer.
Closing Power Control Figure 3 Set closer to desired size. For recommended sizes, refer to the Power Adjustment Chart on pages 3,4,& 5. Install closer per instructions with the proper pre-load applied to the arm then adjust spring power. The power adjustment will not work properly if the closer spring is not pre-loaded. To increase power, use 11/16" wrench to turn power adjustment nut clockwise. To decrease power, turn nut counter clockwise. DO NOT use a power drill or driver to turn adjustment nut. This will damage closer and void warranty.
Closing Speed Controls Figure 4
Adjust Closing Speed Time to between 3 to 7 seconds from 90°. Use of the door by handicapped, elderly or small children may require greater closing time.

Opening Door Control (Figure 6.)
- Backcheck ("B") valve controls the hydraulic resistance to door opening. NEVER close this valve completely – it is not to provide a positive stop.
- Backcheck position ("P") valve controls the door angle where backcheck cushioning starts. Valve normally closed.
