make sure that the gate has been properly installed, is straight and slides freely
throughout its entire length without any grabbing from the guides or track any
where along the gate. the
gate tRack must be in a stRaight line
any sudden dips or rises may prevent the gate operator from working properly.
repair or replace all worn or damaged gate hardware prior to installation. gate
posts less than 150mm wide should be made from steel not timber. replace
posts where necessary. a freely moving gate will require less force to operate
and will enhance the performance of the operator and give a long working life.
the operator should be well drained and not be submersed in water or have
water running past it in heavy rain.
