Maintenance and Safety
The AGS 2000 Full Systems Capability is designed to be
MAINTENANCE FREE. However, for optimum performance and
safety, the following maintenance procedures should be taken.

m GATE SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENTS FOR SYSTEM PROTECTION
The most important thing to maintain on any gate is the safety equipment. As the gate becomes
older the amount of force necessary to move the gate will vary. When this happens, the gate sensitivity
adjustments may need to be readjusted. Check to see whether the sensitivity may need adjustment at
least once a month. Actuate the gate a few times and observe the amount of force that is needed to stop
or reverse the gate in both directions. This can be done very easily by standing beside the gate and
applying pressure with your hands against the gate while it is moving. Do not stand directly in the path
of the gate while doing this experiment. The gate should stop or reverse relatively easy. If it does not
stop or reverse easily or does not stop or reverse at all, make adjustments as shown on page 17 of Fine
Tuning.

m CONTROL DEVICES
From time to time check to see whether all of the control devices that are connected to the
operator are functioning. This is especially important of anything that was installed in regards to safety.

m GATE
Having a well maintained gate will ensure that the operator runs smoothly and safely.
Occasionally inspect the chain to see whether it is well lubricated and oil the chain if necessary. Use
CHAIN AND CABLE LUBE for best results (Available from the manufacturer). Check the wheels and
grease them if needed. Check the guide rollers and spray oil on their bearings.
