MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT
A. Power supply must be of correct voltage and phase.
B. Always disconnect power from operator before servicing.
C. Keep clear of gate during operation.
GENERAL
Linear gate operators are designed for many years of trouble-free operation and, under normal operating conditions, will
require only minimal maintenance.
To ensure that your unit is ready for operation at all times — and to preclude serious damage or failure — inspect the unit
systematically. Proper adjustments and lubrication should be made as recommended.
LUBRICATION
BEARINGS.
Pillow block bearings are equipped with fi ttings and should be lubricated twice each year.
MOTOR.
Motors have sealed ball bearings and do not require further lubrication. If bearing noise develops after several
years of operation, bearings should be replaced.
DRIVE CHAIN AND SPROCKET.
The main drive chain and sprockets should be inspected, cleaned, and lightly oiled every
six months. Do not oil chains inside the operator.
12-MONTH PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
1. Check clutch for correct tension every 12 months.
2. Inspect clutch disc for wear every 12 months.
3. Check limit switches for adjustment and wear.
4. See that all nuts and bolts are tight.
5. Check oil level in gear reducer every 12 months. Fill
up with #90/140 oil.
6. Check chain tension of main drive chain every 6
months. Chain must be taut (not overly tight).
7. Clean and lubricate main drive chain and sprockets
every 6 months using 40W oil. Do not use heavy
grease in cold climates.
DISCONNECT POWER FROM THE
OPERATOR BEFORE SERVICING!!!
