NOTES
A.
CAUTION: When servicing, always disconnect operator from electrical power
supply.
B.
Severe or high cycle usage will require more frequent maintenance checks.
C.
Inspection and service should always be performed anytime a malfunction is
observed or suspected.
D.
Limit switches may have to be reset after any major drive chain adjustments.
E.
If lubricating chain, use only a proper chain lube spray or a lightweight motor
oil. Never use grease or silicone spray.
F.
When servicing, please do some “house cleaning” of the operator and the
area around the operator. Pick up any debris in the area. Clean the operator
if needed.
G.
It is suggested that while you are at the site, you take some voltage readings
of the operator. Using a VOM, double check the incoming voltage to the
operator to make sure it is within ten percent of the operator’s rating.
H.
While you are at the site, now would be a good time to let the owner or
manager know about any new items available or any safety items that could
and should be added to the site.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
A clutch that is set too loose will give false,
inherent entrapment and revere or stop the gate.
