3 Adjustments
Adjustments (Figure 8)
(3/32 Allen Wrench Provided)
Closing Speed Valve (Figure 9)
To adjust speed of door closing from fully
open to a position 2 to 5" from closed, turn
Closing Speed Valve CLOCKWISE to SLOW
closing, COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to SPEED
closing.
Latching Speed Valve (Figure 10)
After closing speed has been obtained, turn
latching speed valve CLOCKWISE to SLOW
latching or COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to SPEED
latching for last 2" to 5" of door travel.
NOTE: Set combination of CLOSING and
LATCHING speeds to between 3 and 7
seconds. Use of door by handicapped,
elderly or small children, may require
even greater closing time.
Backcheck Intensity Valve (Figure 9)
Turn valve COUNTER- CLOCKWISE to reduce
backcheck or CLOCKWISE to increase
backcheck. (Backcheck should be set to give
a soft cushioning action, not a sudden stop).
Delayed Action Valve (Figure 9)
Turn valve CLOCKWISE to SLOW closing,
COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to SPEED closing.
Delayed action may be adjusted from 20
seconds to 90 seconds, depending on degree
of door swing. Delay occurs at the beginning
of the door closing cycle from fully open down
to 70°, where the closing speed valve then
begins its control.
Hold Open Operation (Figure 11)
