5.4. Starting and Running Forces
NEW SITE INSTALLATION PREPARATION
SECTION 5
Test the starting force of the gate as per the diagram. Use a pull scale in both directions
to determine the maximum amount of pull force required to set the gate in motion.
Determine the running force of the gate by continuing to pull on the scale with just
sufficient force to keep it running.
Read and note the maximum value in kgf (kilogram-force) shown on the scale.
Where possible, determine the gate mass.
Our warranty will be void if the pull force and / or gate mass exceeds the below operator
specifications:
• Starting force - 30kgf
• Running (rated) force - 17kgf
• Maximum gate mass - 500kg
