CLOSER ADJUSTMENT

CLOSING CYCLE

NOTE:Closing arcs ("CLOSE" and "LATCH") are controlled by two (2) speed adjusting valves adjust the CLOSING speed first, then adjust the LATCHING speed.

• 1."CLOSING"speed adjustment is accomplished by full rotations of the speed adjusting valve.
• -Turn the speed adjusting valve CLOCKWISE for a SLOWER CLOSE arc closing speed.
• -Turn the speed adjusting valve COUNTER-CLOCKWISE for a FASTER CLOSE arc closing speed .
• 2."LATCH"speed adjustment is accomplished by full rotations of the speed adjusting valve.
  • -Turn the speed adjusting screw CLOCKWISE for a SLOWER Latch arc closing speed.
  • -Turn the speed adjusting screw COUNTER-CLOCKWISE foa a FASTER Latch arc closing speed.

CAUTION!! Do not turn speed adjusting more valve than two(2) full turns counter-clockise from its factory set position, as two speed adjusting valves could become dislodged from the door closer body, resulting in the loss of internal fluid and failure of the device.

BACK CHECK CONTROL

To increse back check intensity, turn back check control valve clockwise.

To decrease back check intensity, turn back check control valve counter-clockwise.

SPRING POWER CONTROL

To increase opening force and closing force, turn the spring adjusting nut clockwise.

To decrease opening force and closing force, turn the spring adjusting nut counter-clockwise.

FULLY ADJUSTABLE SPRING

900SERIES CLOSERS ARE SHIPPED AS SIZE 3. ROTATE SPRING ADJUSTMENT NUT COUNTER-CLOCKWISE 3 TURNS TO REDUCE TO SIZE 2. ROTATE SPRING ADJUSTMENT NUT CLOCKWISE TO INCREASE SPRING POWER. MAXIMUM 10 TURNS TO ATTAIN SIZE 6.
