It is extremely important that the gearbox is filled with the oil supplied before the motor is operated.
FILLING THE GEARBOX OIL
As shown above, with the gate in the closed position, the magnet must be mounted 700 mm from the
centre of the motor.
Measure 700mm towards the closed end. If it is not possible to mount the magnet at 700mm, this distance
may be extended slightly. The magnet must not be inverted. If the magnet is moved for any reason after
the motor has been programmed, then the motor will have to be re-programmed.
MOUNTING THE MAGNET
The gap between the motor and the magnet when the magnet passes the motor must not exceed 3mm.
To check this, manually move the gate until the magnet is directly over the pinion gear then measure be-
tween the magnet and the motor lid. If the gap is more than 3mm, place washers behind the magnet until
the correct gap is achieved

Place washers here if gap
is not correct
Maximum gap between the magnet and the motor

Fill the gearbox oil as shown bellow, the complete
bottle needs to be emptied into the gearbox.
The gearbox oil level needs to be checked
periodically. To check the oil level, remove
the oil level screw . Oil should be added until
the oil starts to run out of the hole.
