CONDITIONS OF OPERATION
Adjusting the LightRail 5.0 Commercial Drive variable time delay will be up to you, as all gardens are different. We suggest first setting the delay to 30 sec-
onds. Then after observing your plant growth you may want to change the length of delay. A longer delay would dictate more light on the ends and less in
the middle. A shorter delay would have the opposite effect.
The first few weeks of operation will be the Drive Motor’s break-in period. The Trolley Wheels will turn gray as well as shed some nylon. The Drive Wheel’s
O-Ring may turn silver, and it too will shed some skin. These are both normal conditions as the moving parts of the Drive Motor conform to their respective
grooves of the Rail.
After several weeks of operation you may notice a slight pause as the Drive Motor starts up after changing direction, this is normal. It is the D Hole of the
molded Drive Wheel showing some wear and loosening up upon the Drive Motor’s shaft. Again this is normal and is a good thing as it will allow the Drive
Wheel to self adjust upon the Motor’s shaft. As for the pause when the Drive Motor changes direction, this also is normal and beneficial. It will reduce the
load on the gear train while changing direction.
It is a good idea to use a timer on the Drive Motor. After all, the lamp need not be moving when the lights are out. This period of off time adds up, and
will greatly reduce wear on the Drive Motor.
You should wipe the Rail off with a dry cloth from time to time. If cleaning the Rail becomes necessary use rubbing alcohol or window cleaner. Never use
any petroleum or wax based substance on the Rail or the rubber Drive Wheel.
If Drive Wheel slippage should ever become an issue, it is OK to clean the Drive Wheel’s rubber tires. Again use rubbing alcohol or window cleaner. Never
use any petroleum or wax based substance on the Rail or the rubber Drive Wheel.
