1 - MAINTENANCE WORK
Maintenance work must be carried out by the installer or a qualified individual to guarantee the installation’s
operation and safety.
The number of maintenance and upkeep operations must be proportional to the frequency the motorised
gate is used.
For use of about 10 cycles per day, it is necessary to provide:
• maintenance of the mechanical parts every 12 months: tightening screws, lubrication, checking the hinges,
stops and gate balance, etc.
• maintenance of the electronic parts every 6 months: engine operation, photocells, control devices, etc.
Warning: The warranty may be voided if the motor drive and gate are not checked regularly.
Important: All the installation or maintenance operations must be performed with the motor drive
disconnected from electrical power supply.
If the disconnection device is not visible where the motor drive is located, before starting work, you must
attach a sign to the disconnection device. The first check must be carried out 1 month after installation, to
check that all the instructions have been followed.
Points to check:
• The water inputs (the product is intended for outdoor use, however, incorrect positioning of the lid, the
holes made to run the cable, or an incorrectly positioned grommet... can damage the product). Any trace
of infiltration must be eliminated (if silicone is used, do not use an acetic acid-based silicone (smells like
vinegar)).
• Traces of external items (Insects can sometimes find refuge in the fixed parts. Their presence must be
eliminated and the possible entrances closed off).
• The 1st month of use already gives a good idea of the motorised gate’s operation.
The following checks must be performed each time the season changes:
