Back check (BC)

Provides a hydraulic cushioning effect to slow the door if it is opened quickly beginning at about 70 degrees.

Note: doesn't replace a door stop.

Main speed (MS)

Controls the door from the opened position to about 10 degrees of being closed.

Latch speed (LS)

Controls the last 10 degrees of the door closing.

Note: DO NOT over adjust to ensure fast closing speed. This could result in a leak in the closer.

Spring force (SF)

Allows you to increase or decrease the closing force of the door.

Note: When you increase the spring force, you also increase the force required to open the door and vice versa.
