Before you start
• The GTR061 Sliding Gate Motor is suitable for powering the opening and closing motion of gates up to
800kg in weight, and up to a length of 8m on level, at ground.
• Gate motion is achieved by the rotating cog of the gate motor driving the gear rack tted to the moving
gate (sold separately).
• The gate motor requires you to press the remote control once to open, and once again to close. This is
a safety feature to ensure safe operation.
• The gate motor itself must be tted within private property, never externally to a property’s boundary.
• This premium motor has a range of optional accessories which can be added, such as solar power,
battery backup, infrared photocells, keypads, push buttons, and warning light.
Power Supply: The GTR061 requires 1 x 10Amp AC240V 50Hz power supply (RCD Protected
Weatherproof PowerPoint). The GTR061 comes complete with a power lead and plug that is 1m long. If
you do not have a suitable RCD protected weatherproof power point within 1m of the gate motor you will
need to consult a licenced electrician.
Any works done to the motor must be completed whilst the power is o󰀨 and the motor is unplugged.
The gate motor will open the gate to the right-hand side as its default setting (refer to g 1).
Any modications/alterations/works to the 240V AC power components must only be completed by
a licensed electrician for your state/country.
Please Note:
• Your weatherproof power outlet should be no more than 1m from the electric gate motor.
• If your weatherproof power outlet is more than 1m from the gate motor, you will require a
• licensed electrician to t a new power cable.

Step 7 - Limit Travel Stops:
Included in your gate motor kit are two limit travel
stops (Part 7a) which must be tted to the gear
racks on your gate to ensure safe operation.
The limit travel stops are designed to set the
desired opening and closing position of your
gate. These limit travel stops are designed to
come into contact with the spring limit switch.
Please note: gates can open and close in
di󰀨erent positions due to di󰀨erent weights of
gates, terrains, slopes (uphill or downhill). The
distance the gate will travel after contacting the
spring limit switch may vary.
Instructions on setting the limit travel
stops can be found on the next page

Test the spring limit travel stops by moving the gate manually until you hear a click, making sure contact is
made with the spring limit switch on the motor.
To Reset: When setting new limit travel stop positions please ensure that you turn the power o󰀨 and then on
again. Turning the power o󰀨 will reset the limit travel stop memory, allowing for new limit travel stop positions to
be recognised by the motor.
Once satis ed the gate is opening and closing to the test limit switch position. Set the limit travel stop positions
in place (see Step 8 and Step 9 for instructions on powering the motor and testing the limit switch positions).
Open Position:
• Position gate 150-200mm back from
the gate stopper open position. This
will help in making sure you do not
slam the gate into the end stop/catch
when setting the open position under
power.
• Fit limit travel stop onto the top of
gear rack at the point where it meets
the spring limit switch on the motor.
• Tighten locking screws.

Step 9 - Testing the Limit Travel Stops:
Testing the closed position
• Ensure motor is plugged in as per step 8 and the gate is in
the open position.
• Press remote (remotes included in kit are factory paired to the
motor). The gate will begin to close.
• The limit travel stop will hit the spring limit switch and the gate
will stop.
• When the gate stops, measure the distance remaining
between the gate and the desired closed position.
• You have now determined the closed position of the gate
when the travel limit stop hits the spring limit switch.
• Adjust the limit travel stop from the measurement you have taken to
get your nal gate closed position. The ideal closed nal position for
the gate frame is 10-15mm from closed gate end catch (GTR019).
Testing the open position
• Press remote. The gate will begin to open.
• The limit travel stop will hit the spring limit switch and the
gate will stop.
• When the gate stops, measure the distance remaining
between the gate and the desired open position.
• You have now determined the open position of the gate when
the travel limit stop hits the spring limit switch.
• Adjust the limit travel stops from the measurement you have taken
to get your nal gate open position. The ideal open nal position for
the gate frame is 10-15mm from the gate stopper (GTR017).
To Reset: When setting new limit travel stop positions please ensure that you turn the power
o󰀨 and then on again. Turning the power o󰀨 will reset the limit travel stop memory, allowing
for new limit travel stop positions to be recognised by the motor.
