FINAL ADJUSTMENT AND REGULATING PROCEDURES

Adjust Door speed, and Latching speed valves to achieve the desired closing time. Recommend 6 seconds minimum from 90° to the closed position.
If Backcheck is required, adjust valve to achieve a slight cushioning effect. Auxiliary stop required.
If closer is equipped with Delayed Action, regulate valve to achieve the desired delay.

8 ADJUST CLOSING POWER TO THE MINIMUM REQUIRED TO RELIABLY CLOSE AND LATCH DOOR

If door is hard to open, decrease power slightly
If door does not latch, increase power as required
