Maintenance
WARNING!
Turn the main power to the operator off before performing any maintenance or repair
operations. The manufacturer recommends that only qualified personnel check and maintain the
equipment.
The FAAC recommended maintenance schedule varies
according to the frequency of use of the operator,
whether lightly used (once or twice an hour on average)
or heavily used (many times an hour on average).
1. Check the oil.
To check the oil level, remove the plastic oil filler cap
inside the cover of the operator (see Fig. 1) to verify the
oil covers the copper coil of the motor. If more oil is
needed, add it through the oil filler cap. Be sure to use
only FAAC XD 220 or Shell/Tellus #15 oil.
Light use: check once every other year
Heavy use: check every year
2. Check the clutch adjustment and Manual Release.
You need to periodically check that the clutch
adjustment still meets safety standards. Also, be sure
that the Manual Release mechanism works and the key
is handy for emergencies.
Light use: once per year
Heavy use: every 6 months
3. Check all reversing devices.
Once every six months you check that all reversing
devices installed on the gate work properly.
