Mounting rack to gate
A strong base on the gate is required for mounting
the rack.
1. Manually open the gate and place a rack section to
mesh with the pinion gear on the Drive Unit. Mark
the top of the rack. Move the gate and mark the rack
for the entire length of the gate.
2. Position the top edge of the rack on this line and
mark the centres of the racks mounting slots. The
first section of rack should start 20mm from the edge
of the gate.
3. Drill and tap for 6mm (¼”) screws.
4. Once the first section of the rack is mounted on the
gate, check that it meshes with the pinion gear on
the drive unit.
5. When joining subsequent sections of rack, check the
mesh by placing a spare section upside down (teeth
facing upwards) and putting it into mesh with the
racks being joined
(Fig. 05).
6. Tighten the racks. This will ensure that the drive unit
pinion canrun along the racks without obstruction.
