3) Move the secondary rail so the ball screw clicks onto the adjustable stop plate. If the two rails; the secondary
and the fixed rail of the basic rail system, do not line up exactly,
slide the adjustable stop plate until they do.
4) Check that the heights of the rails, secondary and fixed, are level. If they are not, the height of the fixed
rail needs to be adjusted through its fixings.
5) Tighten the adjustable stop plate with the screws. Apply pressure on the ball screw and tighten the screws.
6) Setting the ball screw and adjustable stop plate:
The ball screw tension will require setting to give the appropriate
amount of force to open and close the gate. The adjustable stop
plate must be set exactly in line with fixed rail.
The adjustable stop plate can be accessed for adjustment from the
top of the primary rail. The ball screw is accessed from the top of the traverse trolley. Loosen the screw and
move the ball. Make sure the screw is properly secured after adjustment.
7) Perform a final test of all functions including weight testing, see 7: Weight testing procedure.
8) Instruct the user and/or attendant on how to use the system.
