Closing Speed Control

• Valve "S" controls Sweep Range.

• Valve "L" controls Latch Range.

Attention: Adjust Closing Speed Time to between 4 to 7 seconds from 90°. Use of the door by handicapped, elderly or small children may require greater closing time. ADA code requires that door take at least 3 seconds to close from 70° of door opening to within 3" (75mm) of the closed position.

NOTE: By law the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) may require that door closer installation comply with accessability guidelines.

"S"Valve

Opening Door Control • Backcheck ("BC") valve controls the hydraulic resistance to door opening in backcheck range. NEVER close this valve completely – it is not to provide a positive stop. | CAUTION: | Do NOT BACK VALVES OUT OF CLOSER OR A LEAK WILL RESULT | |-----------------------------------
