Closing and latching speeds:

Turn valves clockwise to slow down or counterclockwise to speed up door movement.

To regulate the intensity of backcheck action turn valve clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease checking.

CAUTION: SET VALVE FOR SLIGHT CUSHIONING EFFECT. CLOSER CAN BE DAMAGED IF THE CHECKING ACTION IS TOO ABRUPT. NEVER USE THE BACKCHECK AS A DOOR STOP. ALWAYS USE A DOOR STOP TO STOP THE DOOR.

"Delayed Action" provides slow door closing through the delayed action range. Turn valve clockwise to slow down or counterclockwise to speed up door movement.
