NOTE:
y Make necessary mechanical adjustments
so unit functions as a standard surface
mounted door closer before adjusting spring
force, applying power, adding accessories
or making electrical/programming
adjustments.
y Valve location S/D is not adjustable.
Do not remove valves from closer.
Hydraulic oil will escape.

y Valve "B" controls strength of cushioning

completely – it is not to provide a positive
stop.
y Valve "P" adjusts angle that backcheck
is felt in open cycle. Factory preset is
typically acceptable.

NOTES:
y The amount of effort to manually open or close a door is called
force and is controlled by the operator's closer spring.
y Make necessary mechanical adjustments described in "A" above.
y A closer set to ADA required 5 lbs opening force may not be
strong enough to close door due to latching hardware, air
pressure, or frame issues.
