Stopping the Gate
Most models (except SlideDriver 15 and 40) employ a time delay Soft Stop system.
Additionally, brake valves are used to control the stopping of heavy or fast moving
gates. These valves are exclusive to HySecurity operators. They are independently
adjustable to allow the gate to stop predictably and without banging.
Starting the Gate
To accommodate for loads moving beyond one foot per second, it is necessary to
Soft Start the load gently and stop it smoothly. HySecurity accomplishes Soft Start
with another exclusive feature we call an Accumulator With Out Gas (AWOG), which
diverts some of the start-up hydraulic ow, accommodates for the load, and starts the
gate smoothly, similar to letting your foot slowly off a car clutch without any lurching.
The downward facing AWOG (shown right) improves the life and performance of a
gate system and never needs adjustment.
Mechanical Maintenance
Before checking internal mechanisms of operator, turn off all power switches.
SlideDrive mechanical maintenance is not in depth or difcult, but should be performed on a routine basis.
Operator chassis is zinc plated, but some environments may speed corrosion of this plating.
Schedule regular maintenance and look for the following:
• Verify drive belt has proper tension. Check for drive belt wear. Fraying edges or missing teeth indicate
that drive belt needs to be replaced. Refer to “Drive Belt Tension and Alignment” on page XXX.
• Check for signs of rust. If any areas of rust are found, reduce spread of corrosion by treating areas with
a rust inhibitor.
• Check motor. DC motors contain carbon brushes which wear over time and must be replaced. Failure
to replace brushes will result in DC motor damage. Brushes should be inspected every year in high
usage applications or every 100,000 cycles and replaced as needed.
• Replace worn-out batteries. Refer to “DC Battery Replacement” on page 40 of the HyInverter AC
Installation and Programming manual (P/N MX3644) and “ClockBattery Replacement” on page 122 of
this manual.
