5.6 Manual Operation of the Arm
When a power failure occurs in an operator WITHOUT the convenience open feature with the arm (3-piece arm for the 1602) in
the down position and the pathway needs to be open, the arm MUST be unbolted from the hub with 4 bolts and removed to
clear the pathway. A manual release kit is offered from DoorKing to physically crank the arm up if desired (See below).
Operators WITH the convenience open feature can be set to automatically open the arm during a power failure.
Note: Unplug wire
harness from inside
the operator and
remove wire guard
from operator housing
BEFORE unbolting
arm from hub.
Wire Harness Note: Unplug wire harness inside
operator and remove wire guard from operator housing
BEFORE unbolting arm from hub when necessary.
“Optional” Manual Release Kit
DoorKing offers a kit designed to be installed on the 1601 or
1602 barrier gate operators WITHOUT the convenience open
feature. It provides a crank tool to manually move the arm up
or down. DO NOT install on convenience open models. For
further information about this kit, refer to the instruction sheet
provided with the kit (P/N 1601-270) or go to DoorKing’s web
site at: www.doorking.com
