FINAL ADJUSTMENT AND REGULATING PROCEDURE Minimum recommended door closing time is 6 Seconds for doors opened to 90 degrees. Use /8 hex (Allen) wrench to adjust valves as needed. Closing and latching speeds: Turn valves clockwise to slow down or counterclockwise to speed up door movement. Backcheck: To regulate the intensity of back check action, turn valve clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease checking. CAUTION: Set valve for slight cushioning effect; closer can be damaged if the checking action is too abrupt. Never use the backcheck as a door stop. Always use a door stop to stop the door. Delayed action feature (Optional feature on some models): Delayed action provides slow door closing through the delayed action range. Turn valve clockwise to slow down or counterclockwise to speed up door movement.
