MOUNTING THE RACK
The rack is attached to the gate using the TEK screws supplied. It is recommended that the rack is
not
welded to the
gate as this prevents any adjustment at a later stage. The rack must mesh with the pinion gear throughout the com-
plete length of the gate.
A 2mm gap between the pinion gear and the rack should be set. This avoids any tight spots.
To mount the rack, complete the following steps.
1.
Open the gate manually. The gate
must
be
fully
open.
2.
Place a length of rack on the pinion.
3.
Insert the first TEK screw.
4.
Roll the gate to the next mounting hole and
insert the next TEK screw.
5. Repeat step 4 until the complete length of
rack is attached to the gate. The rack may need to be cut
if any section is protruding from the end of the gate.
It is important to ensure that the rack stays in full contact
with the pinion gear at all times during mounting
When the process is complete and the rack is attached securely to
the gate, the motor must be adjusted to allow a 2mm gap between
the pinion gear and the rack. The best way of doing this is by
dropping the motor 2mm on the bolts. Push the gate open
and closed by hand to ensure that the rack is adjusted
correctly. Check that the rack is not to tight or to
loose on the pinion gear If it is found to be loose
or tight, the rack must be adjusted accordingly. Failure to do this
may result in incorrect operation of the gate.

MOUNTING THE MAGN ET
Measure 700- 800mm from the motor and mount the mag-
net. This must be done with the gate in the
closed posi-
tion.
Do not invert the magnet.
700MM
Maximum gap between the magnet and
the motor must be 3mm. If the gap is not
correct, place washers behind the magnet.
3mm
Move the gate by hand until the next mounting hole is above the pinion and
then insert next screw.
