Using "Power Adjustment" chart below, rotate power adjustment shaft with 1/8" allen wrench supplied: Turn CLOCKWISE to increase power. Turn COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to decrease power. See Page 7 for the illustration of this step.
  • Make adjustments to closer before installing cover. See Page 7 for closer adjustment instructions. CAUTION: Do Not back valves out of closer body or a fluid leak will result.

Closing Power Control Figure 1

For 7500 Series Only

Set closer to desired size. For recommended sizes, refer to the Power Adjustment Chart

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 2

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 Cycle

"Backcheck" valve controls the strength of cushioning in Backcheck Range. NEVER close this valve completely – it is not to provide a positive stop. (see Figure 4 and Figure 5).

Hold-Open Feature

The hold-open mechanism is controlled by the hex nut feature located on the secondary arm underneath cap. Remove the cap by pulling straight down. Use a 7/16" wrench to adjust. Turning hex nut feature clockwise will increase the hold-open force. Turning hex nut feature counterclockwise will reduce the hold-open force. Hold-open mechanism can not be disengaged.
