FAAC 750 - Installing the Gate Leaf Shoe

2.6 INSTALLING THE GATE
1) Manual release the system (see paragraph 4).
2) Turn the splined bushing (while on the splined shaft) in the
closing direction until it stops.
3) To prevent the piston in the drive unit from bottoming out in its
cylinder turn the splined shaft 5 degrees in the opening direction
4) Make the gate leaf shoe:
- Construc the U-shaped section of the shoe as shown in
fig.17;
- Position the section on the splined bushing in the “leaf
closed” position;
- Determine the correct position of the bushing by referring
to the position of the leaf with respect to the rotation axis
(fig.18);
- Spot weld the bushing to the U-section
- Check that the system setup is correct by manually
simulating complete opening;
- Carefully weld the bushing to the section (fig.19);
- Close the U-section, on the post side, using a plate as
shown in fig.20.
5) Lubricate the splined shaft with grease.
6) Insert the leaf shoe bracket on the splned shaft in the previous
“leaf closed” position.
7) Place the gate in the leaf shoe and hinge the top part.
The gate must rest on the guide bracket. To increase the drive
unit height, turn the levelling set screws clockwise (fig.2-ref.7).
To avoid compromisng the correct operation
of the automated system, never weld the gate
leaf to the shoe bracket or directly to the splined
bushing.
