Available Models and Features
Hy-Security manufacturers eighteen different models of hydraulic slide gate operators to suit the
size, weight and desired speed of the gate panel. All of the operator models are derived from the
standard 222 SS, upon which this manual is designed. Take a moment to identify the operator
model you have and note there are some changes in the instructions, especially in regards to final
adjustments. The following chart shows the differences at a glance:

Stopping the Gate
All models employ a time delay Soft Stop system. Additionally,
optional brake valves (shown at right) are used to control the
stopping of heavy or fast moving gates. These valves are exclu-
sive to Hy-Security operators. They are independently adjustable
to allow the gate to stop predictably and without banging.
Starting the Gate
When starting very heavy gates to accelerate faster than one foot
per second, it is necessary to Soft Start the load gently, in addition
to stopping it smoothly. Hy-Security accomplishes Soft Start with
another exclusive feature we call an AWOG, which diverts some of
the start-up hydraulic flow and thereby allows the gate to acceler-
ate over a period of about 2 seconds. This is much like letting your
foot slowly off a car clutch - no lurching when the gate starts. The
AWOG definitely improves the life and performance of a gate
system and never needs adjustment.
