Figure 1
Before installation: Test the gate opener by plugging it into a power source and pressing the
remote. Press the opening button, the output gear rotates, then press the stop button, the output
gear stops rotating. Finally, press the closing button, the output gear rotates to the opposite
direction. This will give you an understanding of the way in which the opener will move the gate.
Figure 2
Note: Ensure that the gate opener is unplugged before proceeding with installation. Please keep
fingers away from the motor output gear whilst it is turning.
If your gate needs to open from the other direction (to the left, refer to figure 3), your opener needs
to be mounted on the left-hand side as shown, the relative wires need to be swapped over, please
check under “Terminal Instructions” for swapping. (Factory default setting is for right-hand opening:
opener mounted on the right-hand side).
Figure 3
Any works done to the gate opener must be completed whilst the power is off, and the opener is

be centered as much as possible.
·Take the motor away from mounting plate.
Figure 13
Step 6 - Gear Rack & Motor Alignment
·See Figure 15 for recommended gear rack mounting height.
·Ensure that the output gear has a minimum clearance of 1-2mm along the entire length of gear
rack fitted to the gate (as per Figure 14)
·Ensure output gear and gear rack are correctly aligned. Under no circumstances should the
gate opener output gear carry any weight of the gate. It is the task of the gate castors or wheels
to carry the weight of the gate (as per Figure 14).
·If the gate doesn’t slide freely by hand, adjust the height of the gear rack accordingly until the
full length of gate slides freely by hand.
