MECHANICAL MAINTENANCE ITEMS
In order to ensure safe and trouble free operation of your gate operator system, we recommend
that you perform periodic maintenance and inspection of the system. As a minimum, we
recommend the following on a continuing basis:
Gate and Structure:
1.
Inspect the rack teeth for uneven wear, or tooth damage. Misalignment of the drive
system will show up quickly in the wear pattern on these teeth, and can cause tooth
breakage. Replace worn or broken teeth immediately.
2.
Inspect the rack support structure attachment to the gate, making sure the welds and/or
bolts are tight and sound. Tighten bolts and/or repair welds as required.
3.
Check the clearance between the pinion and the gate structure through the entire range of
gate motion to ensure no interference exists. Make adjustments as required.
4.
Manually slide the gate back and forth through the full range of motion to ensure smooth
operation. Adjust as necessary for smooth operation.
5.
Inspect the v-track (or other track) for wear, misalignment, or material buildup. Make
adjustments or replacements as necessary.
6.
Grease or oil the gate rollers and any other moving parts in the system requiring
lubrication.
7.
Check all guards to ensure that they are tight and in place on all exposed moving rollers
and at any pinch point areas.
8.
Inspect the screening system to ensure that all openings in the gate structure and adjacent
fence that would allow a 2-1/4” diameter sphere to pass through are covered.
9.
Clean all components of the system, including warning placards.
Hydraulic Operator:
1.
Inspect the hydraulic pump and motor for damage or leakage. Check the torque on the
mounting bolts that secure the motor and pump to the frame. Tighten as necessary.
2.
Inspect all hydraulic hoses and fittings for tightness, leakage, damage or age cracking.
Replace as necessary.
3.
Check the hydraulic fluid level in the hydraulic reservoir. If low, add fluid, using ISO 15.
