All gate operators require periodic checking and adjustments of the control mechanism for force (load),
speed and sensitivity. All accessories and secondary safety devices must be checked. Secondary safety
devices need to be checked at least once a month for proper operation.
Periodic checking is also advised for the following:
1. Battery terminals for corrosion, clean with baking soda solution.
2. Hinges and pivot points need to be greased.
3. Mounting bolts for correct tightness.
4. Inspect weld points for cracks or other defects.
5. Inspect wiring for cuts, nicks or other defects.
6. Inspect hinge post to ensure it is not moving or twisting.
7. Verify proper operation of charging system, refer to charge controller operation check.
8. Verify monthly that the inside of the control cabinet remains clean and free of insects. Do not spray
control board with bug spray or oil based products.
9. Opening or closing time should be approximately 12 seconds. If the time begins to increase and the
gate begins to slow down, the battery needs to be tested.
