Maintenance and repair of the gate operator must be preformed by a qualified professional gate operator technician.
The following services need to be periodically performed:
• Turn ON the Gate Shut-Off Switch BEFORE performing any maintenance.
• Check and adjust the gate operator’s force, speed, and sensitivity.
• Make sure all power (AC/DC) connections are corrosion free.
• Check all batteries for proper voltage.
• Check the incoming line voltage and confirm it is within 10% of its rating (115 or 230 volts).
• Verify battery backup functionality by turning off the power source (115 VAC and 230 VAC). Restore power after
testing.
• Check that chain is not too loose and remove chain links if necessary. DO NOT make chain too tight.
• Check wheels, guide rollers and chain and lubricate with heavy-duty, high-performance lubricant where needed.
• Check V rail for signs of cracking or separation from ground.
• Test all contact and non-contact sensors, in-ground vehicle loop detectors, keypad, telephone entry system or any other access
control devices that are used to control the gate operator.
• Test the manual release feature.
