Fitting Motor
· Fit motor and mounting base on the concrete footing.
· Ensure the motor output sprocket and chain are correctly aligned. Sprocket and chain should
be centered as much as possible.
· Take the motor away from mounting base.
· Leave a space of 30cm from the motor to end of the chain.

Step 6 - Sprocket and Chain & Motor Alignment
· Ensure output sprocket and chain are correctly aligned. Under no circumstances should the
gate opener output sprocket carry any weight of the gate. It is the task of the gate castors or
wheels to carry the weight of the gate.
· If the gate doesn’t slide freely by hand, adjust the height of the chain accordingly until the full
length of gate slides freely by hand.
· Ensure the chain is in proper tightness after installation. (refer to Figure 14)
