Closing Power Adjustment–
Using “Power Adjustment Chart” from Page 3, select the
correct number of turns for power adjustment shaft that
corresponds with the installation. With 1/8” hex-key provided,
rotate adjustment shaft full 360° clockwise turns to desired
setting. After closer has been installed and proper
adjustments made to the sweep and latch, it may be
necessary to readjust spring power for good closing action.
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.
Closing Speed Controls Figure 2.
