IMPORTANT – 

The gearmotor must only be used for the 

automation of manual gates with an efficient and safe mechanical 

structure. It cannot correct defects due to bad installation or poor 

maintenance of the gate. 

•  Check that the mechanical structure of the gate is suitable for 

the installation of an automation system and in compliance 

with current local regulations (if necessary, check the data 

found on the label of the gate).

•  Manually close and open the gate leaf, to make sure that there 

is an appropriate level of constant friction during the whole 

opening or closing movement (no points requiring increased 

effort).

•  Check that when moved to any position between fully open 

and fully closed, the gate leaf keeps its balance, without 

movements.

•  Make sure that around the gearmotor there is enough room to 

easily and safely release the gate leaves by hands.

•  Make sure that the product is installed on a solid surface, so 

that it can be securely fastened.

•  Make sure that the installation position is compatible with the 

overall size of the product.

King Gates declines all responsibility for damage to 

persons or things that occurred due to causes not directly 

attributable to the characteristics of the product and failure 

to comply with the installation procedures in accordance

the harmonized standards provided for by the current 

Machinery Directive, which allow the alleged conformity of 

the automation to be declared.

to the electrical network, testing, commissioning and 

maintenance of the product must be carried out exclusively 

by a qualified and competent technician!

m

CAUTION! Important instructions: keep this manual 

for any possible future requirement for maintenance and 

disposal of the product.

1.2 - Warnings for installation

•  Before installing check if this product is suited to automating 

your gate or door (see chapter 3 and “Technical features of the 

product”). If unsuitable, DO NOT proceed with the installation.

•  Include a disconnection device in the power supply system 

with an opening distance between the contacts to permit full 

disconnection in the conditions dictated by the category of 

surcharge III.

•  All the installation and maintenance operations must occur 

with the automation disconnected from the electrical power 

supply. If the disconnection device of the power supply is 

not visible from the area where the automatism is located, 

before starting the work it is necessary to attach a sign with 

the text “CAUTION! MAINTENANCE IN PROGRESS” on the 

disconnection device.

•  During installation handle the automatism with care avoiding 

crushing, knocks, falls or contact with liquids of any kind. 

Do not place the product near sources of heat, or expose it 

to naked flames. All these activities can damage and cause 

malfunctions or dangerous situations. If this occurs, stop the 

installation immediately and contact the King-Gates Assistance 

Department.

•  Do not make alterations to any part of the product. Operations 

which are not permitted will cause only malfunctions. The 

manufacturer declines any liability for damage caused by 

arbitrary alterations to the product.

•  If the gate or the door to be automated is fitted with a 

pedestrian door it is necessary to include a control system in 

the installation to prevent the operation of the motor when the 

pedestrian door is open.

•  Check there are no trapping points towards fixed parts 

when the leaf of the gate is in the maximum Open position, if 

necessary protect these parts.
