Installation of tracks (see Fig.3)
Fix the three nuts (included with the metal tracks) on the rack element.
Lay the first piece of track on the gear and weld the first nut on the gate.
Move the gate manually, checking
making sure the track isn’t resisting movement at the
gear, and weld the second and third nut.
Place the second metal track near the first one. Move the gate manually and weld the
three nuts as per the first track. Repeat until the gate is fully covered.
When the rack has been installed, ensure that it rolls smoothly on the driving gear.
The space between rack and gear should be about 1mm.

Magnets for limit switch
For added safety, it is recommended that limit devices such as a ground stop be placed at
both ends of the gate to prevent the gate from sliding out of its rails. This is only a
precaution; the gate operator actually uses a magnetic limit switch to control the open and
closed positions of the gate.
Install the magnet as shown in Fig.4 and Fig.5.
Release the gear clutch and push the sliding gate manually to pre-determine the
positions of the limit switch magnets.
Fix the magnet brackets to the rack and tighten the gear clutch. The lower bracket is
used as the opening limit switch and should be installed on the rack for the open
position. Similarly, the higher magnet is for the closed position. Adjust the position of
gate operator, the magnet should be 10~15mm away from the magnetic limit switch
to work correctly.
Now open and close the gates via the operator. Make final adjustments to the
position of the magnets to ensure that your open and closed gate positions are
correct.
