Maintenance and repair of the gate operator must be preformed by a qualified professional gate operator technician.
The following services need to be periodically performed:
• Check and adjust the gate operator’s force, speed, and sensitivity.
• Make sure all power (AC/DC) connections are corrosion free.
• Check all batteries for proper voltage.
• Check the incoming line voltage and confirm it is within 10% of its rating (115 or 230 volts).
• Verify battery backup functionality by turning off the power source (115 VAC and 230 VAC). Restore power after
testing.
• Cycle gate system and lubricate with heavy-duty, high-performance lubricant where needed.

control devices that are used to control the gate operator.

lubricant.
• Make sure there are no vehicles or pedestrians in the path of the gate while performing maintenance.
