Closing speeds can be adjusted to suit local conditions and
requirements. Label on closer face designates the purpose
of each adjustment screw. Adjustments are for speed
control.
A. The Delay Action valve allows adjustment from full
open to 65° closed position. (Optional)
B. The Closing Speed valve allows adjustment from full
open to 15° on units without the Delay Action feature.
C. The Closing Speed valve allows adjustment from 65°
to 15° closed position on closers with Delay Action
feature.
D. Latch valve allows adjustment from 15° to closed
position.
E. Important: Backcheck adjustment must be adjusted to
vary resistance from light to firm at 60° of door open.
Do not use Backcheck as deadstop. This is an intensity
valve not speed control.
This closer is one of three types as follows:
1. Non hold-open factory set. No hold-open adjustments.
2. Automatic hold-open factory set. No hold-open adjustment.
3. Selective (on-off) hold-open label will indicate position of on-off selector screw. When turned “on”, closer has automatic hold-
open: turned “off”, hold-open will not function. Turn full 180°.
This closer can be adjusted for increased or decreased spring power.
These adjustments if required should be done by an authorized repair agency.
Repairs, parts replacement or internal adjustments must be done by a Rixson authorized repair agency.
