8000ST Series Slide Track Door Closers

The closing force for Series 8000ST door closers is adjustable from a size 1 to a size 6, as outlined in ANSI Standard A156.4. When these series of door closers are installed and adjusted to conform to ADA reduced opening force requirements (5 lbs max.) for interior doors, they may not have adequate closing

force to reliably close and latch the door. Power adjustments charted on Page 4 are recommended where possible, to ensure proper door control.

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.

NOTE: 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.

• For closers with or without Delayed Action closing suffix "DA".
• Use of an auxiliary door stop is always recommended.

Door Opening Angle and/or Hold Open Angle:

Remove 9/64" hex drive socket head screw from arm. Open door to desired angle and install hex-drive socket head screw into hole in adjusting rod that is aligned with the hole in the adjusting tube.

Closing Power

• 8300ST/8500ST Models come in five different sizes (2 thru 6); each power size can be increased by 50%. Adjust as required, See Figure 2 .
• 8301ST/8501ST Models are fully adjustable. For proper sizing see chart on Page 2 or 3. To adjust closer power – See Figure 2. Increase or decrease power as necessary.

Closing Cycle (hydraulic control) See Figure 3A. Valve "L" controls door speed in Latch range. Valve "S" controls door speed in Sweep range. Valve "D"—Optional—controls door speed in the Delay range. Use 1/8" hex-key furnished and adjust as shown in Figure 4.

Opening Cycle (hydraulic control) See Figure 3B. Valve cushions (slows) door opening in the backcheck range .

Note: Never close this valve completely or damage to closer may occur.

Use 1/8" hex-key furnished and adjust as shown in Figure 5.
