DOOR CLOSING CYCLE

CLOSING SPEED

Closing arcs are controlled by two separate speed adjusting valves. Adjust the closing speed first then adjust the latching speed.

Turn the speed adjusting valve a full rotation clockwise for a slower closing speed.

Turn the speed adjusting valve a full rotation anticlockwise for a faster closing speed.

LATCHING SPEED

Turn the speed adjusting screw a full rotation clockwise for a slower latching speed.

Turn the speed adjusting screw a full rotation anticlockwise for a faster latching speed.

CAUTION: Do not turn speed adjusting valve more than two full turns anticlockwise from its factory set position, as two speed adjusting valves could become dislodged from the door closer body, resulting with the loss of internal fluid and failure of the device.
