contact sensors. After adjusting the force or the limit of travel, retest the gate operator. Failure to adjust and retest the gate
operator properly can increase the risk of injury or death.
5. Use the emergency release only when the gate is not moving.
6. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the owner’s manual. Have a qualified service person make repairs to gate
hardware.
7. The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must use separate entrance.
8. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

SEAGEAR is an oil-bathed motor-
reducer created for sliding gates
automation.
The motor-reducer irreversibility allows a
perfect and safe gate closing avoiding the
setup of an electrolock and in case of
power supply lacking, the release device
which is in the frontal part of the motor-
reducer allows the manual opening and
closing.
The operator has a mechanical
adjustable clutch which ensures the
control of the gate pushing. Moreover, the
electronic reversing device realized
through an encoder makes the SEAGEAR
motor-reducer a safe and reliable operator
allowing in a simple way to comply with the
current norms in the countries where this.

1. GATE ARRANGEMENT
The first thing to check is that the gate is in good running order as
follows:
a) The gate is rigid and straight and runs smoothly throughout its
travel.
b) that the inferior sliding guide-rail is perfectly straight and horizontal
to avoid a derailment of the gate (fig. 1); furthermore it must be free of
irregularities and foreign bodies which could obstruct the normal run
of the gate (fig. 2 and 3).
c) that the upper guides are not fixed (fig. 4) but furnished with rollers
which allow the sliding of the gate without difficulties (fig. 5 and 6).
d) that the distance between the end of the gate ( in maximum opening
position) and the eventual wall must be at least of 5 inches (fig. 7).
e) The lower support wheels have sealed bearings or grease points.
f) The top guide must be manufactured and installed so that the gate is
perfectly upright.
g) Physical gate stops must be fitted to prevent the gate coming out of
its guides and track.

Install the warning signs, on both sides of the gate which informs the
pedestrians about the danger they run when passing or resting in the
environment of the gate (fig. 10).
Important:
For a higher security, SEA advices to install infrared photocells.
2. PRECAUTIONS
SEAGEAR has been created for the automation of gates used by
vehicles only. Pay very much attention to avoid the crossing of the gate
path it is very dangerous for pedestrians (fig. 8).
