Fitting Motor

Ensure the motor output gear and gear rack are correctly aligned. Gear and gear rack should
be centered as much as possible.
·
Take the motor away from mounting plate.
Figure 13
Step 6 - Gear Rack & Motor Alignment
·
See Figure 15 for recommended gear rack mounting height.
·
Ensure that the output gear has a minimum clearance of 1-2mm along the entire length of gear
rack fitted to the gate (as per Figure 14)
·
Ensure output gear and gear rack are correctly aligned. Under no circumstances should the
gate opener output gear carry any weight of the gate. It is the task of the gate castors or wheels
to carry the weight of the gate (as per Figure 14).
·
If the gate doesn’t slide freely by hand, adjust the height of the gear rack accordingly until the
full length of gate slides freely by hand.
