Gate Drive Installation
Correct attachment and alignment of your gate drive will greatly re-
duce the maintenance required over the life of your backing gate.
Mounting the Gate Drive
Position the assembled gate drive under the backing gate, within 1m
of the moving end with the drive wheels behind the gate away from the
cows being crowded. Position the gate across the centre of the mount
saddle and align the rear wheel shaft with the center post with the aid
if a string line (see figure 1). Double check alignment before welding
the mount saddle securely to the gate. The mount saddle is 255mm
above ground level.
Front Wheel Alignment
Next align the front shaft with the center post. Do this by lifting the gate
in a safe manner, until the front wheel is just clear of the ground.
Loosen the front shaft mount bolts and using a string line from the cen-
ter post as a guide, align the front wheel shaft so it points directly to-
wards the center post (see figure 1). Tighten the front shaft bolts and
lower the gate to the ground again.
Lubrication
All gate drives are shipped without oil.
Please fill the gear casing to the sight glass with
(approx. 4 litres) SAE EP 90 grade gear oil before use.
The filler plug is located on top of the gear casing.
