- Hold Open Adjustment
- Open the door to the angle of hold open desired and tighten the holder adjustment nut with the wrench supplied.
Closer Adjustment
- Closing Speed … Controlled by the regulating valve on the end of the closer farthest from the hinge.
- Sweep Speed … Controls the door’s speed in the sweep speed range, see illustration. Full 360° clockwise turns to decrease the sweep speed. Full 360° counter-clockwise turns increase the sweep speed.
- Latch Speed … Controls the door’s speed in the latch speed range, see illustration. A partial turn, up to a maximum of 1/2 turn (180°) in either direction determines the latch speed.
- Backcheck … Controlled by the regulating valve on the end of the closer closest to the hinge.
- Backcheck cushions or slows the door opening speed near the end of the opening cycle. Full 360° clockwise turns to increase resistance to opening. Full 360° counter-clockwise turns decrease resistance to opening.
- Note: If backcheck is encountered extremely early in the opening cycle, rotate the valve 1/2 turn (180°) to eliminate early opening resistance.
- Caution … To avoid damage to the closer, never fully close the backcheck regulating valve.
