MANUAL RELEASE
To manually release the gates:
1. To disengage the motor,
insert the key into the lock
A
. Unlocking the door will
automatically isolate the
power.
2. With the power safely isolated
it is safe to proceed with the
manual release.
3. To re-engage, ensure the gate
is closed. Now close the door
on the motor
B
and turn the
key to the locked position.
Remove the key.
4. Attempt to manually open the
gate to ensure the system is
fully engaged.
The BKV sliding gate operator has a manual release system found behind a locked
compartment on the front of the motor.
Basic Maintenance: Hints & Tips
