G-Force SL2000 User Manual

Mounting the Gate Motor / Gear Rack:
The gate motor should be mounted to the side of the driveway to provide clear passage of travel for
vehicles. The gate motor should be securely bolted down to a solid concrete pad or steel base frame. The
gate motor should be parallel to the gate and there should be no contact between the gate motor and the
gate frame. Ensure there is adequate space for removal of the motor cover and clear access to the
internal components of the gate motor and clear access to the external manual release mechanism.
Mount the gear rack onto the gate at the required height to ensure correct engagement to the drive gear.
We suggest a gap of 2-3mm between rack and drive gear. Temporarily placing a 2-3 mm spacer under
the motor feet can help set the required height. Remove the spacer when finished.
To ensure smooth running of the gate, there should not be any space between the ends of each gear rack
section. Adjust the rack to the required height by running the gate back and forwards with the motor in
‘manual mode’. The gear rack can then be adjusted up or down as required to ensure the correct and
consistent gap. Ensure the rack does not hit, rub or contact any part of the motor cover or motor body.
