Closing speed can be adjusted to suit local conditions and requirements. With a screw driver turn the adjustment screw that projects through the floor plate or threshold, either in or out as the case may be until the desired action is attained. Turn this valve screw to the right, clockwise, to decrease

closing speed and to the left to increase the closing speed. FORCING THIS SCREW DOWN WILL IMPAIR ITS OPERATION. Important: Spindle centerline must be maintained.
