• Read this manual in its entirety before installing or operating the turnstile. If there are questions, you may
contact Alvarado at [phone], Monday through Friday, 6:00 AM to 4:30 PM PST.
• Only skilled individuals should install and service the turnstile.
• The turnstile is not a toy. Do not allow children to play on or near the turnstile. Do not allow horseplay near the
turnstile.
• Follow a proper maintenance schedule.
• Do not operate the turnstile if it has been damaged in any manner. Have the turnstile repaired or adjusted by
a skilled service person before use.
• Do not modify or alter the turnstile.
• Do not operate the turnstile unless the hydraulic dampening unit is operating and adjusted correctly. For
information on maintenance and adjustment of the hydraulic dampening unit, please refer to the Maintenance
section of this document.
• Use ONLY Alvarado parts.

Turnstile Conguration Descriptions
SLT-3
Three-position key lock control allows turnstile to remain locked in both directions, unlocked in either direction or
open in both directions.
Unlock Override
The unlock override feature allows one or both directions of passage to be unlocked with a key (included for both
directions on all SLT models). One key lock for each passage direction is located near the arms on the cabinet
fascia. Both locks are keyed alike.

• 3 each washers
• 3 each Anchors
• Heavy Duty Drill
• 5/8” Concrete Drill Bit
• 3/8” Torque Wrench
• Hammer
• Shop Vac
• Tape Measure
• Chalk

Overview of Installation Steps:
Turnstile Location and Barrier Spacing
Parts required (Supplied by Alvarado) Tools required
NOTE The turnstile arm should be approximately 2” from the next unit or outside barrier.

1. Place the turnstile in the desired location.
2. Mark the center location of the three anchor holes.
3. Using the impact drill and a 5/8" drill bit, drill a minimum 3" deep hole at the center of each of the
three marked outer anchor locations. For Terrazzo, ceramic tile, or brick veneer installations add
the thickness of the nished oor material to the anchor hole depth (Note: The anchoring package
provided by Alvarado should ONLY be used to anchor the unit directly into the concrete slab).
4. Vacuum out holes thoroughly. If the holes are not clean, the anchors will not tighten.
5. Insert an anchor into each drilled hole. Ensure that the anchors are ush with the concrete oor.
6. Return the turnstile to the install location.
7. Insert a 3/8" bolt and washer through the turnstile base into each of the SB anchors. Tighten the 3/8"
bolts to 20 ft-lbs. torque.
8. If the turnstile is uneven or rocks, loosen the bolts, shim the turnstile cabinet as necessary, and re-
tighten the bolts.
Installing the Turnstile
NOTE Insert anchors with threads down.

Inspect the installed turnstiles approximately 30 days after the initial installation. Thereafter, the frequency of
maintenance will depend on usage and the environment. We suggest inspecting and lubricating the turnstile interior
twice a year. Interior maintenance should be performed more frequently in high use applications and/or in dusty or
humid environments. Periodically check the anchor bolts for tightness. Exterior cleaning should be performed as
necessary.
1. General – Check the tension of the three anchors. Tighten to approximately 20 ft-lbs. Check tension of all
nuts, bolts and screws. Clean away accumulated dust and dirt.
2. Microswitches – (Counting units only) Manually rotate the turnstile and inspect the microswitch contact(s).
Switch activation should occur without any distortion or bending of the switch arm. Necessary adjustments
can be made by repositioning the adjustable micro plate (#87 on exploded drawing-page 24).
3. Movement – Verify that the compression arm and shoe (#81 and #82 on exploded drawing) move freely. If
the movement is not smooth, remove both parts and apply 3-in-1 oil. Replace parts and check movement.
4. Hydraulic Cylinder – Verify that the hydraulic cylinder is properly adjusted by observing the rotation of the
turnstile arms. Use the override key to disengage the lockarms and unlock the turnstile arm.
Spin the arm once rapidly in the testing direction. The turnstile arm should rotate once and stop in the
standard position. If the turnstile over rotates, increase the hydraulic tension. Do this by removing the cotter
type pin at the top of the hydraulic closure (#62 on the exploded drawing). Tighten the adjusting screw
(clock-wise) with a slotted screwdriver. Put the pin back in and retest. Test in increments of 1/8 of a turn.
If the turnstile under-rotates (returns to standard position very slowly), decrease the hydraulic tension. Follow
directions as above, but loosen the adjusting screw (turn the adjustment screw counter-clockwise). Replace
the pin and retest.
The hydraulic cylinder is adjusted at the factory to a level suitable for most standard applications; however,
the viscosity of the hydraulic uid is affected by extreme variations in temperature. Adjustments may be
necessary depending on the application or environmental factors. When making adjustments, ensure that
the hydraulic is not adjusted so loosely that the turnstile arm hits the user in the back/rear as they pass
through the turnstile.
5. Lubrication – Apply a light grade lubricant (i.e. Tri-Flow or 3-in-1 oil with a tube extension applicator) to all
contact points. Contact points include spring and micro-switch (if applicable) contact points. Review the photo
on page 26 for identication of lubrication areas.
6. Springs – Inspect the springs for unusual wear and replace if worn or damaged. When replacing springs use
only Alvarado supplied parts.
Maintenance
Interior Care

1. Stainless Steel - Stainless steel surfaces include the turnstile arms and lid and, depending on the nish
ordered, the cabinet. Stainless steel surfaces may be cleaned using any commercially available polish or
cleaner. If a heavier scratch or mark is apparent, a metal blend and nish pad (3M or equivalent) may be
used. A quality automotive wax may be used to buff the cabinet after cleaning.
2. Aluminum Head - The conical shaped aluminum head can be cleaned using a soft damp cloth.
3. Powdercoat Finishes – Powdercoat nishes should be cleaned using a soft damp cloth. Any deep scratches
or chips in this type of nish should be touched up to prevent a rust spot from forming. If left untreated, rust
will spread.
Exterior Care
Troubleshooting
Symptom Possible Cause Solution
The turnstile head does not
turn smoothly
The turnstile is not properly
lubricated.
• Clean and lubricate the pivot points as
described in the Maintenance section of
this document.
• If necessary, adjust the hydraulic
dampening unit as described in the
Maintenance section of this document.
