Troubleshooting
A properly installed SW470 or SW490 operator will operate for many years with a minimum or service
maintenance. It is important to note, however, that a binding or defective gate can severely reduce the
life of the operator. The gate operation should be checked frequently as recommended by the
manufacturer. All operator bearings are of the lifetime sealed anti-friction or impregnated type. The
motor is factory lubricated and requires no additional lubrication.
Should electrical malfunction occur, consult the troubleshooting chart below
