Speeds from 1 second to 1/100-1/125 are controlled by the cocking spring tension and the timing delay mechanism, above 1/125 a booster spring is employed with the delay locked out. 1/200 adds about 1/4 of the booster spring tension to force the shutter closed faster, 1/400 applies full tension of the booster.
With the shutter in a released state turn the speed setting ring with as much force as necessary to reach the 400 position. Normal force is 5 to 10 times more than 1 to 200.
A factory service manual for the Graphex is available here:

if you want to open it up, moderate difficulty for experienced repair people, slightly difficult for the inexperienced. The assembly steps for the #1 shutter are in incorrect parts assembly order, the #2 and #3 instructions are in correct parts assembly order. The 135mm is in a #2 shutter.
