SITE EVALUATION
Mount the motor above the flood level or a flood proof wall must be built in order to retain any water from
entering the motor
Ensure that the rail is kept clear of all debris,
The site should be evaluated before the installation begins. The following items should be checked.
•
Flood level. The motor should be above flood level to avoid any damage to the motor.
•
The rail must be level and should be above ground level, this will assist with keeping debris out of
the path of the wheels. Any debris lying on the rail may cause the motor to over current.
•
Trees and bushes must be cleared to allow for smooth operation.
.
The rail should be above ground level
It is important to ensure that the rail is above the ground level, as this
reduces the chances of stones and other debris blocking the track and
jamming the wheels of the gate.
Keep all trees, bushes and other growth
clear of the gate. Failure to do this may lead
to the gate jamming.
