Closer Adjustment
PAGE 4
Closing speeds can be adjusted to suit local conditions and
requirements. Turn the adjusting screw that projects
through the floor plate or threshold, either in or out as the
case may be until the desired action is attained. Turn this
valve screw to the right, clockwise, to decrease closing
speed and to the left to increase the closing speed.
FORCING THIS SCREW DOWN WILL IMPAIR ITS
OPERATION.
Spring Power Adjustments
There is no spring power adjustment. If the spring power is
not adequate a heavier duo-check should be installed. All
duo-checks PH10, PH12, 15, 16 are interchangeable.
