7. Ajuste
7.1. Adjusting Closing Speed and Force
Both the V2012WH and V150WH closers allow for adjustment of the closing speed and force. This is done via a screw located at the end of the pneumatic tube (opposite the rod end).
- To Decrease Closing Speed (Slower Close): Turn the adjustment screw counter-clockwise.
- To Increase Closing Speed (Faster Close): Turn the adjustment screw clockwise.
Make small adjustments and test the door's closing action until the desired speed and force are achieved. Ensure the door latches completely without slamming.
7.2. Seasonal Latching Adjustment
The closers include a seasonal latching adjustment option, allowing you to switch between glass and screen inserts. This typically involves adjusting the position of the pin on the door bracket to accommodate the different thicknesses or weights of seasonal inserts. Refer to the specific instructions on the product packaging for detailed guidance on this adjustment.
8. Mantenimiento
Wright Products door closers are designed for durability and require minimal maintenance. However, periodic checks can ensure long-lasting performance:
- Limpieza: Wipe down the closer and brackets with a damp Paño para eliminar el polvo y la suciedad. Evite los limpiadores abrasivos.
- Lubricación: The spring inside the pneumatic tube is fully lubricated from the factory. No additional lubrication is typically required. If the closer becomes stiff or noisy, check for obstructions or misalignment before attempting to lubricate.
- Comprobación del hardware: Periodically check all screws and pins to ensure they are tight and secure. Tighten any loose fasteners.
- Alineación: Ensure the closer remains properly aligned with the door and frame. Misalignment can cause premature wear or improper operation.
