must be adjusted to significantly slow opening
of door before arm bottoms on stop.
Closing time of 3-7 seconds is typical.
More time may be needed for ADA/BF access.

4. Adjust BACKCHECK resistance (opening 70°- max.°).
DO NOT COMPLETELY CLOSE VALVE
5. Adjust (optional) DELAYED ACTION (closing max.°- 70°);
Provides additional hesitation for access (ADA/BF) through
