Please ensure that the motor power cable is not plugged in at any stage before Step 8
Step 6 - Gear Rack & Motor Alignment:
•
Insert the key and open the manual release bar to put the motor into manual mode,
and check that the motor cog rotates freely by hand (as per fig 15).
•
Ensure that the gate drive cog has a minimum clearance of 1-2mm along the entire
length of gear rack fitted to the gate (as per Fig 13)
•
Ensure cog and rack are correctly aligned. Under no circumstances should the gate
motor drive cog carry any weight of the gate. It is the task of the gate castors or
wheels to carry the weight of the gate. (As per Fig 14)
•
If the
gate doesn’t slide freely by hand, adjust gear racks height accordingly until the
full length of gate slides freely by hand.
At this stage of final assembly, the cover is removed (not shown) and the power cable is still unplugged.
To put the gate motor into manual mode, insert the key and open the manual release bar as shown.
In manual mode, the gear can turn freely, and the gate can be operated by hand.
