INSTALLING WITH THE CHAIN STRETCHER
Firmly screw the geared motor on a bracket or a proper support to be tted to the installation. Fixing holes are provided in the unit
to this purpose as in Pic. 1: the position of the geared motor is to take into account the xing of the shaft ball bearing support.
The chain stretcher is to be positioned on the side opposite that where the geared motor is installed, considering a sufficient
distance for the chain to be properly kept stretched and slacking prevented.
Chain stretcher: existing chain stretchers
pre-tted on the gate can be used, depending
on the type of chain and gate; the picture here
represented is merely indicative.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THE GEARED MOTORS FIBO 300 LB - FIBO 400 LB ON SLIDING GATES.
FOR A PERFECT APPLICATION AND IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE A RELIABLE PERFORMANCE OF FIBO 300 LB - FIBO 400 LB IT IS
RECOMMENDED THAT THE FOLLOWING STEPS BE CARRIED OUT AND DRAWINGS BE KEPT TO.
FIBO 300 LB - FIBO 400 LB are a geared motors for heavy sliding gates driven by a chain; it is available in 1,1 kW (1,5 HP three-phase)
and 2,2 kW (3,0 HP three-phase) versions.
FIBO 300 LB - FIBO 400 LB are a versatile motor-powered units and can suit the most various applications on industrial sliding
gates mounted on a track and made up of a single panel or of hinged multiple panels driven together to one side by a metal
chain (not supplied with the equipment, it must be suitable to the power required to electrically operate the gate).
They are a strong and reliable automatic systems, tted with a manually adjustable clutch system, and a worm-gear coupling
made of bronze and steel, supported by ball bearings. A manual override device allows for the gate to be operated by hand in
case of a power failure or disconnection.
GATE INSPECTION
Make sure that the gate sliding track be rmly set into the ground foundation to prevent it from moving or setting at a later stage,
which might eventually lead into the gate going off the rail during its opening/closing travels.
NOTE WELL:
• make sure that proper gate stops be xed to ground in open and closed gate positions, to prevent the gate
from overrunning the upper track;
• make sure the gate be tted with a safety system to prevent it from falling over;
• prevent the gate from crashing into the gate posts or gate stops.
