The Ulma gate operator, much like a car, will provide many years of excellent service if a service schedule is
carried out at regular intervals. Follow these basic checks and do repairs in me to get the most out of your
operator.
WEEKLY
 Clear away any dirt, sand, stones or foliage collected on the gate rail.
 Clear away any branches, shrubs or grass that might interfere with the movement of the gate.
MONTHLY
 Check for damage or cracks to the motor lid. Although the operator lid is designed for outside condions,
stones and severe hail may damage it. A cracked lid should be immediately replaced as water and dirt will dam-
age the operator.
 Check for insect and reple infestaons.
It is recommended that moth balls be placed inside the operator housing to discourage these infestaons
which can cause damage.
EVERY 6 MONTHS
 Check for oil leaks.
If the motor was overlled during commissioning, it is possible that some oil might leak out within the
rst few months aer installaon. If oil is visible during this period then clean it away and check again
within the a weeks to see if more oil is leaking.
 Test the gate pull and running forces (see pg. 8/9). Compare these values with those previously recorded. If the
values are signicantly dierent from when originally installed it might be me to change the gate wheels.
 Check for baery leaks, these can cause damage to the wiring.
 Check that the controller and other accessories are rmly in place and are not hanging loose.
 Check that the Marker Magnet on the gate is ght and not moving. (If it is moving, it must be ghtened and the
gate limits must be reprogrammed).
