The rear arms on my soft gloss are hitting really hard when they go back out. I just had a pm done and the form said that he checked it but I'm sure it is hitting too hard. Which valve controls that? What should the pressure be?
I have a new camera inside my auto bay that I am pretty sure is going to give me ulcers! I may have been better off not knowing how bad people drive!
Thanks

You would check the rear arm return gauge pressure should be around 60psi. There is also a brass flow control you could close that a bit until the arms start coming back more slowly..

The pressure seems ok. Maybe I just need to get used to the camera on the wall! It's kind of freaking me out.

You need to adjust the brass flow control for the rear arm return as NJ sugests. It controls the retraction speed of the rear arms.

I got it, thanks! I think most of it was getting used to my new camera in the bay.
