VENT PLUG INSTALLATION
Gear reducers used in OSCO gate operators will have solid plugs installed prior to shipment in order to keep the oil inside from
spilling out during shipping. A vent plug has been provided to replace this plug during installation. This plug will look similar to the
ones shown below. Some models may have a vent plug with a breather pin. This pin should be removed after installing the
operator.

Before adjusting the torque limiter, make sure the gate is in
good working condition. One person should be able to move
the gate by hand. Be certain the gate moves freely and with-
out binding throughout its travel. Torque limiters are set light
at the factory. They must be adjusted during installation, pref-
erably after limit cams have been manually set (see page 9).
Adjust the torque limiter tight enough to keep it from slipping
during normal operation.
To adjust the torque limiter in model SWG:
1. Bend the locking tabs away from the adjustment nut.
2. To increase the output, turn the adjustment nut clock-
wise one flat, or 1/6 turn, at a time until desired output is
obtained.
To reduce the output, turn the adjustment nut counter-
clockwise one flat, or 1/6 turn, at a time until desired
output is obtained.
3. Bend the locking tabs up to lock the adjustment nut in
place.
