The FAAC recommended maintenance schedule varies 

according to the frequency of use of the operators, 

whether lightly used operators (once or twice an hour) 

or heavily used operators (many cycles per hour). 

Operators used in a humid/ salt air climate should 

follow the heavy duty use schedule. 

 

 Check the oil. 

 

To check the oil level correctly, remove the locking cap 

from the operator. The operator should be at least half 

full. 

 

  

Note: You will not be able to see the oil level. 

Use something flexible (i.e. A piece of stranded 

wire) to act as a dipstick. 

 

 If the operator is too full, it will bleed oil out the vent 

hole. 

 

  

Light duty use: check once per year 

 

Heavy duty use: check every 6 mo 

 

Change the oil. 

 

Changing the oil requires removing the operator from its 

installed position. Remove the locking cap and drain the 

oil out of the hole under the cap. Refill the operator with 

the proper new oil (see page 4). 

 

  

Light duty use: change every 4 yr 

 

Heavy duty use: change every 2 yr 

 

 Check the pressure settings. 

 

  

Light duty use: check once per year 

 

Heavy duty use: check every 6 mo

Keep the control panel free from spider webs, insects, etc. 

Otherwise, the control panel requires no maintenance.

• 

A gate is a potential traffic hazard, so it is important 
that you locate the gate far enough away from the 

road to eliminate the potential of traffic getting 

backed up. This distance is affected by the size of 

the gate, how often it is used, and how fast the gate 

operates. 

 

• 

The operator you choose to install on your gate 
must be designed for the type and size of your gate 

and for the frequency with which you use the 

operator. 

 

• 

Your gate must be properly installed and must work 
freely in both directions 

before 

the automatic 

operator is installed. 

 

• 

An automatic operator should be installed on the 
inside of the property/fence line. Do not install the 

operator on the public side of the property/fence 

line. 

 

• 

Outward swinging gates with automatic operators 
should not open into a public area. 

 

• 

Pedestrians should not use a vehicular gate system. 
Prevent such inappropriate use by installing 

separate gates for pedestrians. 

 

• 

The operating controls for an automatic gate must 
be secured to prevent the unauthorized use of those 

controls. 

 

• 

The controls for an automatic gate should be 
located far enough from the gate so that a user 

cannot accidentally touch the gate when operating 

the controls. 

 

• 

Exposed, reachable pinch points on a gate are 
potentially hazardous and must be eliminated or 

guarded. 

 

• 

It is extremely unsafe to compensate for a damaged 
gate by over tightening a clutch or increasing 

hydraulic pressure. 

 

• 

An automatic gate operator should not be installed 
on a gate if people can reach or extend their arms 

or legs through the gate. Such gates should be 

guarded or screened to prevent such access.
