VIII. MAINTENANCE & BEST PRACTICES 

 

GENERAL MAINTENANCE 

 

1.

 

Maintain the Gate Opener. Check for misalignment or binding of moving 

parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the 

Opener’s operation. If damaged, have the 

GO-B3

 repaired before use. 

(Accidents are caused by poorly maintained equipment.) 

 

TORQUE OUTPUT THROUGH THE LIFE OF THE BATTERY 

 

Although the torque should be consistent until the last few Openings/Closings 

before the Battery discharges. Change the Battery before the charge drops to 

25% battery life. 

 

CHANGING ACCESSORIES 

 

1.

 

Remove the 

GO-B3 

Opener from the Hopper Car’s Capstan Socket. 

 

2.

 

Disconnect the Battery to the 

GO-B3

 Gate Opener. 

 

3.

 

Remove the Drive Fitting by disengaging the Ret-Ring. 

 

4.

 

When re-installing the Drive Fitting make sure it is properly secured to the 

Opener’s square drive by using the supplied Ret-Ring. 

 

 

 

BATTERY SAFETY, USE, AND CAUSE INSTRUCTIONS 

 

1.

 

Do not expose

 GO-B3 

Opener to rain or wet conditions. Water 

entering the Battery will increase the risk of electric shock and/or 

damage the Opener. 

 

2.

 

Disconnect the Battery from the Opener before changing 

accessories or storing the Gate Opener. This will reduce the risk of 

starting the 

GO-B3

 accidentally and, also, provide an opportunity 

to charge the Battery for next use. 

 

3.

 

Recharge the Battery only with the Charger supplied by 

WORKMASTER

. A Charger that is suitable for one type of battery 

may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.
