Closing speeds can be adjusted to suit local conditions and

open to 65° closed position. (Optional)
B. The Closing Speed valve allows adjustment from full
open to 15° on units without the Delay Action feature.
C. The Closing Speed valve allows adjustment from 65°
to 15° closed position on closers with Delay Action
feature.
D. Latch valve allows adjustment from 15° to closed
position.
E. Important: Backcheck adjustment must be adjusted to
vary resistance from light to firm at 60° of door open.

This closer is one of three types as follows:
1. Non hold-open factory set. No hold-open adjustments.
