SECTION 13—Opening and Closing Speed
The opening speed is modified by moving the opening spring
adjusting nut on the opening spring assemblies. A change in
opening speed affects the closing speed. Reference Figure 13.
NOTE: Tightening of the opening spring adjusting nut will
decrease the closing time and speed while increasing opening
time and speeds. Loosening will have a reverse effect.
The operating speeds are as follows:
