Hold Open Nut Adjustments
To adjust the hold open nut, loosen the nut and then open the door to the desired hold open position. This is where you will tighten the hold open nut securely. Some styles of hold open arm will require slightly different adjustments.
Closer Adjustment
CLOSING speed adjustment is accomplished by full rotations of the speed valve adjuster. – Turn the speed valve screw CLOCKWISE for a slower close arc closing speed. – Turn the speed valve screw COUNTER-CLOCKWISE for a faster close arc closing speed.
1: Use a rope, power cord, or belt to tie the doorknob to a nearby heavy object. 2: Tape a broom handle perpendicular to the door frame, tying the handle to the doorknob to hold the door shut. 3: If applicable, secure a belt around the top of the door hinge.
A hold open closer is designed to hold the door open when the door is opened past 110 degrees. Simple pushing of the door towards the closed position, activates the closer and it also commences the closing action of the door.
Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to slow the closer down, counter-clockwise to speed it up. Open the door and watch it close. If it closes right the first time, check it 10 more times. If it closes correctly every time, you`re done.
The second technique requires that you remove the door pin from the bottom hinge. Then bend the pin slightly by striking its head gently with a hammer on a hard surface such as concrete. Then tap the pin back into the hinge. The bent pin supposedly creates enough resistance to keep the door from closing by itself.

Chain saw won’t start – pull starter pulley hard to pull?
ANSWER : If it worked fine the last time you used it, then pull the spark plug and try pulling the rope. See if it’s easier or if gas shoots out of the plug hole. I’ve seen this happen when the diaphram in the carb goes bad from sitting over winter. It loads up the cylider with fuel and makes it very difficult to pull the rope. If there is no fuel in the cyliner and it’s still hard to pull, make sure there is nothing binding the clutch/sprocket. I’ve had chucks of wook lodged in there that caused it to bind the crank output, which resulted in a hard pull on the rope as well.

When the door opens it slams into the unit I did adjust it almost all the way out and it still slams
ANSWER : Are you sure you are adjusting the limit controls and not the force controls.. depending on the age of the opener the limits controls are on the side and the force controls are on the back and they are blue. If you are adjusting the limits and nothing is changing you then either have a bad limit rack or circuit board. I just changed out a rack a little bit ago.

Hard to pull starter rope. It doesn’t pull smoothly. hard to pull.
ANSWER : Take the spark plug out–does it pull smoothly now? If not, the pull cord may be the wrong size or it is damaged and/or doesn’t rewind correctly. Does the machine have a compression release? If so, it may be plugged with carbon. With the spark plug out, pull the engine through several times briskly with the throttle open and the choke off to expel any excess fuel from the crankcase. Hope some of this helps!

When I pull the cord, the string is hard to pull and recoils out of your hand about half way through the pull
ANSWER : Sounds like you have two problems. One the flywheel brake is not being released completely and second the flywheel key has been sheared. It is why the rope is being jerked out of your hand. The mower is out of timing and when the spark plug fires before it is suppose to, it jerks the rope out of your hand.
