INSTALLATION CHECKLIST - PREPARATIONS
Check the carton contents and read the instructions carefully. Make sure your gate equipment operates perfectly. The
gate must run evenly and smoothly and must not stick at any point. Remember that the ground level may be several
centimeters higher in winter. The gate must be stable and as free of backlash as possible in order to prevent any unwanted
to and fro movement. The more smoothly the gate leaf runs, the more sensitive the force adjustment must be.
Note down any materials you still need and obtain them before starting to install. Heavy-duty plugs, bolts, gate stops,
cables, distribution boxes, tools, etc.
GATE TYPES
The gate type determines the location where the drive mechanism is installed. If the gate stop is on the ground, the drive
mechanism must also be installed at a height that is as low as possible so that it cannot twist the gate. Use only parts of
the gate frame for fixing purposes.
For steel gates, the gate fitting must be attached to the main frame. If you are uncertain whether the available support is
sufficiently stable, reinforce it.
In the case of wooden gates, the gate fitting must be through bolted. It is advisable to fit a plate from the outside so that
the fixing brackets cannot become loose over time. Thin wooden gates must also be reinforced in order to withstand the
stresses encountered .
FOR TWO GATE APPLICATION A FIXED GATE STOP MUST BE INSTALLED.
Gate stops save wear and tear on the drive mechanism, gate and fittings. Operating a
gate without fixed limit stops results in poor performance. It is often dangerous, leads
to premature wear in the case of heavy gates often exposed to wind stress.
