Pre-installation Information

Safety Information and Warnings

Before You Begin...

THE FOLLOWING FORMATS ARE USED FOR SAFETY NOTES
IN THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Before unpacking, inspect the carton for exterior damage. If
you find damage, advise the delivery carrier of a potential
claim. Inspect your package carefully. You can check your
accessory box parts with the enclosed packing slip for your
convenience. Claims for shortages will be honored for only
30 days from the date of shipment.

CAUTION
This type of warning note is used to
indicate the possibility of damage to the
gate or gate operator.

WARNING

Before installing the operator, read this manual completely to
ensure all requirements for proper installation are present. Verify
that the voltage to be used matches the voltage of the operator.

This type of warning note is used to
indicate possible mechanical hazards that
may cause serious injuries or death.

If you have any questions about the requirements for proper
installation of this gate operator contact technical support at
800-421-1587

WARNING
This type of warning note is used to indicate
possible electrical shock hazards that may
cause serious injuries or death.

Always Check the Gate’s Action
It’s very important before installing the gate operator to
make sure the gate’s swing is free and level throughout
the entire swing path. If the gate does not seem to
operate properly, it may affect the operator performance
or greatly shorten the life of the unit. The gate should
also be designed so that airflow is ample to prevent
wind resistance and drag.

Regulatory Warnings
Read the following before beginning to install this swing
gate operator:

Gate Operator Classifications
All gate operators can be divided into one of four different
classifications, depending on their design and usage. Install
this gate operator only when the operator is appropriate for
the construction and usage class as defined below:
• Class I Residential Vehicular Gate Operator
A vehicular gate operator intended for use in a home or for one to
four single family dwellings with a common garage or parking area
associated with these dwellings.
• Class II Commercial / General Access Vehicular Gate Operator
A vehicular gate operator intended for use in a commercial location or
building such as a multi-family housing unit of five or more single family
units, hotel, retail store or other building servicing the general public.
• Class III Industrial / Limited Access Vehicular Gate Operator
A vehicular gate operator intended for use in an industrial location or
building such as a factory or loading dock area or other location not
intended to service the general public.
• Class IV Restricted Access Vehicular Gate Operator
A vehicular gate operator intended for use in a guarded industrial
location or building such as an airport security area or other restricted
access locations not servicing the general public, in which unauthorized
access is prevented via supervision by security personnel.

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH
TO PERSONS, REVIEW THESE INSTALLATION SAFETY
STEPS BEFORE PROCEEDING
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Read the yellow “Safety Instructions” brochure enclosed with the
packet of information. If any pages are missing or are unreadable,
or you do not have the safety instructions, please call Linear at
1-800-421-1587 to request additional copies.
3. ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS TO THE POWER SUPPLY MUST
BE MADE BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN AND MUST OBSERVE ALL
NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES.
4. A separate power-disconnect switch should be located near the
operator so that primary power can be turned off when necessary.
5. Install the enclosed warning signs on both sides of the gate. A
minimum of two (2) WARNING SIGNS shall be installed, one on each
side of the gate where easily visible.
6. Never reach between, through or around the fence to operate the
gate.
7. Never connect a button station within reach of the gate or on the
side of the gate operator.
8. Do not adjust the operator controller’s current sensing feature too
high. It should be adjusted high enough to keep the gate from falsely
triggering the sensing, but no higher than necessary for the gate to
operate. DO NOT DEFEAT THE PURPOSE OF THIS FUNCTION!
9. You must install all required safety equipment.
10. UL325 Compliance requires the use of contact edges or photoelectric
controls on all automatic or remotely-controlled gate operators.
11. The operator is intended for installation only on gates used for
vehicles. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate access
opening. The pedestrian access opening shall be designed to
promote pedestrian usage. Locate the gate such that persons will
not come into contact with the vehicular gate during the entire path
of travel of the vehicular gate.

AC Power Wiring

VOLTS & HP

1. Find the listing on this page corresponding to the model, voltage and
horsepower rating of your operator.
2. The distance shown in the table is measured in feet from the
operator to the power source. DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM
DISTANCE. These calculations have been based on standard 115 V
and 230 V supplies with a 10% drop allowable. If your supply is under
the standard rating, the runs listed may be longer than what your
application will handle, and you should not run wire too near the
maximum distance for the gauge of wire you are using.
3. When large-gauge wire is used, a separate junction box (not supplied)
may be needed for the operator power connection.
4. Wire length calculations are based on the National Electrical Code,
Article 430 and have been carefully determined based on motor
inrush, brake solenoids, and operator requirements.
5. Connect power in accordance with local codes. The green ground
wire must be properly connected.
6. Wire insulation must be suitable to the application.
7. Electrical outlets are supplied in all 115 VAC models for convenience
with occasional use or low power consumption devices only. If
you choose to run dedicated equipment from these devices, it will
decrease the distance for maximum length and the charts will no
longer be accurate.

DC Control and Accessory Wiring
1. All control devices are now 24 VDC, which can be run up to 2000
feet with 14 AWG wire.
2. Control wiring must be run in a separate conduit from power wiring.
Running them together may cause interference and faulty signals in
some accessories.
3. A three-wire shielded conductor cable is required to connect two
operators together for dual operation. You must use Belden 8760
Twisted Pair Shielded Cable (or equivalent) only – P/N 2500-1982,
per foot). See Page 21 for details of this connection. Note: The shield
wire should be connected in both the operators.

Mounting Pad Installation

WARNING
The operator is intended for installation only on gates used for
vehicles. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate access
opening. The pedestrian access opening shall be designed to
promote pedestrian usage. Locate the gate such that persons
will not come into contact with the vehicular gate during the
entire path of travel of the vehicular gate.

The gate operator mounts bolted to a custom poured
concrete mounting pad. The pad supports the operator and
prevents it from twisting during operation.
An optional post mount kit is also available (P/N 2120-483)
which allows installation without a concrete mounting pad.

Mounting Pad Specifications

WARNING

Recommended pad size is 24” x 20” x 18” deep minimum.
Pad depth should be set according to local codes and at
least as deep as frost line.
If soil conditions may cause the operator and pad to shift or
twist during operation, anti-rotation legs may be required.
Use two 6” diameter, 10” deep legs to counteract this
problem as shown.
5/8” J-bolts may be set into the concrete before it sets
following the dimensions shown, or drilled after the concrete
sets.

Operator Preparation

GEAR
REDUCER

Vent Plug Installation
In order to keep gear oil from spilling out during shipping,
gear reducers used in gate operators have either a solid
plug, or a sealed vent plug, installed at the factory.

REMOVE THE
SOLID PLUG
WITH AN ALLEN
WRENCH

For operators with a solid plug, replace the solid plug with
the vent plug provided (see Figure 2).
With the vent plug installed, remove the vent plug’s breather
pin to allow the gear box to vent (see Figure 2).

Gate Arm Installation

INSTALL THE VENT PLUG
(IF NOT ALREADY INSTALLED)

The gate arm connects the operator to the gate. The arm
supplied can be used in left-hand or right-hand installations.
After the proper length of the crank extension and link
section of the arm has been determined, the arm is welded
to complete the assembly.

REMOVE THE
BREATHER PIN

Figure 2. Vent Plug Installation

Setting Left or Right Hand Configuration
The welded style gate arm has been pre-assembled at the
factory in right-hand configuration (the back of the overtravel
stop faces toward the drive when the gate is fully closed
and the arm is installed). For a left-hand operator, rotate the
upper portion of the arm as shown in Figure 3 to convert the
arm into a left-hand orientation.

Gate Arm Installation (Cont.)

GATES SHOWN OPEN

Choosing Good Harmonics
Good harmonics are necessary to minimize wear and tear
on the operator. The gate will have smoother starts and stops
when the arm is installed with good harmonics. Figure 5
shows an example of good and bad arm harmonics.

GOOD
HARMONICS

BAD
HARMONICS!

Installing the Gate Arm on the Operator
The hex cap screws (see Figure 6) in the side of the crank
assembly are shipped loose for placement on the operator
drive shaft. Once in place, tighten these cap screws in place
by applying 75 ft-lbs of torque. If it becomes necessary to
remove the crank, you can do so by loosening these bolts.
The arm can also be disconnected for manual operation of
the gate by removing the disconnect pin.

Setting the Arm Lengths

GATE WILL HAVE SOFT
STARTS AND STOPS

Most installations will use the standard dimensions specified.
The dimensions shown in Figure 7 can be used to adjust and
set the arm. If non-standard mounting is required, contact
the factory for information.
Once the arm lengths have been determined, use clamps
to temporarily attach the solid bars to their sections of
rectangular tubing. If clamps are unavailable, you may also
tack weld the parts in place. It is recommended that you
check the arm for proper action and full gate travel
before fully welding the parts together. REMOVE THE
GATE ARM BEFORE WELDING! Apply Krylon® metallic
gold spray paint or equivalent to touch up welds when
finished.

Operator Setup

LIFT UP ON TAB

Controller Access
The Controller in models SWR, SWC and SWD is hinged for
access and can be removed without taking off the operator’s
cover. It swings down for installation, programming,
and troubleshooting access (see Figure 8). Under most
circumstances you will not need to remove the Controller.

CONTROLLER SWINGS DOWN

To access the Controller, lift the metal tab below the AC
power switch and swing the Controller down. The Controller
is protected by a plastic dust cover. To remove the dust
cover, loosen the cover’s wing-screw and lift the cover off.
To remove the Controller from the operator, slide the
assembly to the right until the hinges release. Once freed,
you can turn the Controller slightly and remove it from the
operator. Be careful not to pull on the cables too hard.

Proper thermal protection is supplied with the operator. The
motor contains a thermal overload protector to guard from
overheating the motor due to overload or high-frequency
operation. This overload protector will reset automatically
after the motor cools down.
Figure 9. Power Disconnect Box Wiring

Earth Ground
Install a ground rod and connect it to the operator’s frame
in every gate operator installation. A good earth ground is
necessary to allow the Controller’s built-in surge and lightning
protection circuitry to work effectively. The physical bolting
of the operator to the mounting pad is not sufficient for
a good earth ground.
✓ NOTE: Do not splice the ground wire. Use a single piece of solid
copper 12 AWG wire between the ground rod and the operator.
1. Install an 8-foot long copper ground rod next to the operator mounting
pad within three feet of the operator.
2. Use a clamp to connect a solid copper 12 AWG ground wire to the
ground rod.
3. Route the ground wire to the operator.
4. Connect the ground wire to the operator’s frame.

LIMIT
SWITCHES (2)

Limit Cam Rough Adjustment

RIGHT-HAND INSTALLATION
TOP CAM - OPEN LIMIT
BOTTOM CAM - CLOSE LIMIT

The limit cams are not preset at the factory and must
be adjusted for each installation. The limit switches are
activated by two rotating limit cams attached to the drive
shaft (see Figure 10). The Controller is factory set for right
hand installations. The top cam is for OPEN and the bottom
cam is for CLOSE. The cams flip their definition in left hand
installations (see left-right hand programming on Page 12).
1. With the gate connected to the gate operator in a mid-travel position,
the power disconnect switch turned OFF, and the torque limiter
set loose enough to slip freely, manually move the gate by hand to
its fully open position.
2. Once the gate is in the fully open position, set the OPEN limit cam so
that it has just triggered its switch (see Figure 10).
3. Manually move the gate to its fully closed position, set the CLOSE
limit cam so that it has just triggered its switch (see Figure 10).

Torque Limiter Adjustment
✓ NOTE: The open and close current sensing may need to be adjusted
before performing the following two steps. See Page 13.
This operator may be supplied with an optional torque limiter.
Before adjusting the torque limiter, make sure the gate is in
good working condition. With the gate disconnected from the
gate arm, one person should be able to move the gate by
hand. Be certain the gate moves freely and without binding
throughout its travel.
Torque limiters are set light at the factory. They must be
adjusted during installation, preferably after limit cams have
been manually set. With the gate arm and gate attached,
adjust the torque limiter tight enough to keep it from slipping
during normal operation. The inherent entrapment protection
(current sensing) feature must activate prior to any slipping of
the torque limiter. See pages 13-14 for current sense setting.
To adjust the torque limiter in models SWR and SWD:
1. Loosen the set screw on the torque limiter adjustment nut.
2. Cycle the gate open and closed while observing the torque limiter
action. TURN THE OPERATOR POWER DISCONNECT SWITCH
OFF BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS.
To increase the torque, turn the adjustment nut clockwise one flat, or
1/6 turn, at a time until desired output is obtained.
To reduce the torque, turn the adjustment nut counterclockwise one
flat, or 1/6 turn, at a time until desired output is obtained.
3. When finished, tighten the set screw on the torque limiter adjustment nut.

Limit Cam Fine Adjustment
After finishing the rough limit cam adjustments and torque
limiter adjustment (if optional torque limiter is installed),
reposition the gate to approximately the center of travel.

CAUTION
If the operator is installed in a left-hand installation. Set the
Controller to left-hand operation BEFORE running the operator
for the fine setting of the limit cams. Failure to do so will
result in over-shooting the limit switches, and may cause
damage to the operator and/or gate. Refer to programming on
Page 12.

Turn the power disconnect switch ON.
Stand clear of any moving parts and press the OPEN button.
After the gate opens, press the CLOSE button.
Observe the gate in both directions as it runs through each complete
cycle. Adjust the open or close limit cams again if necessary. If the
gate stops during travel, you may need to adjust the Open or Close
Current Setting or the Maximum Run Timer (see Pages 13-14).

Programming Overview
PROGRAM
INDICATOR

The Controller can be programmed with various options for the operator.
The programming fields are defined as “functions” that have “options”.
To make setup easier for the installer, the Controller’s programming is
divided into two groups: basic and advanced. The basic programming
group contains the functions commonly used in most swing gate
installations. The advanced programming group contains functions less
commonly used (i.e. dual gate stagger delay, maximum run timer, etc.).

To detect obstacles or mechanical problems with the gate, the operator
monitors its motor current. If the open current load exceeds the
programmed maximum load number, the operator will stop, reverse a
short distance, then stop again. The Auto Close Timer will be disabled,
and another open request will be required to start the operator again. If
after restart, the overload or an open obstacle happens again before the
open limit is reached, the operator will lockout and sound the alarm.

• Fail Safe: If the AC power fails and the battery voltage drops below
approximately 22 Volts, 5 seconds later the operator will cycle open
if not already open. When AC power is restored, or the battery gets
charged by solar panels, the operator will resume normal operation
and auto-close if programmed to do so.
• Fail Secure: If the AC power fails and the battery voltage drops
below approximately 22 Volts, 5 seconds later the operator will
cycle closed if not already closed. When AC power is restored, or
the battery gets charged by solar panels, the operator will resume
normal operation.
✓ NOTE: Fail Safe and Fail Secure are disabled if Stagger Mode is

COMM LINK terminals.

DUAL GATE
COMM LINK
WIRING

OPERATOR #1
SHIELD

When one operator activates, the COMM LINK connection
signals the other operator to activate. Each operator
functions independently, controlling its gate and monitoring
its inputs and accessories.
A three-wire shielded conductor cable is required to connect
two operators together for dual operation. Use Belden 8760
Twisted Pair Shielded Cable (or equivalent) only – P/N
2500-1982, per foot).

CONNECT

for dual gate installations:

USE BELDEN 8760 TWISTED PAIR
SHIELDED CABLE OR EQUIVALENT
OPERATOR #2

SHIELD

• Dual Gate Enable
Dual Gate Enable must be set for all dual gate installations.
• Stagger Mode
The Stagger Mode function determines if the operator has a delayed
open or a delayed close. In dual swing gate installations, typically one
operator is programmed for delayed open, and the other operator is
programmed for delayed close.

Figure 14. COMM LINK Wiring

• Stagger Delay Time
The Stagger Time sets the length of the delay for the Stagger Mode.

Open Input

See Pages 12 & 14 for details on these three dual gate
programming functions.

Open Obstruction

Gate Operation
Open Button
Opens the gate. If the Controller is programmed to stop
opening the gate at mid-travel, a constant press of the OPEN
button will override the Mid-travel Stop and completely open
the gate. If the Auto Close Timer is set, it will be suspended
until the OPEN button is released.

Functions the same as the OPEN button.

While the gate opening, any open obstruction signal will
cause the gate to stop, reverse a short distance, and then
stop again. The Auto Close Timer will be disabled, and a
renewed input will be required to start the gate again. Should
the gate be restarted and the obstacle signal occur again
prior to reaching a limit, the gate will stop again, lockout,
and sound the emergency alarm.

Close Obstruction
Same as the open obstruction, but in the closing direction.

Close Button
Closes the gate if the gate is open. Also closes the gate if
the gate is in the process of opening.

Reverse Input

Stops the gate from opening or closing at any time.

If the reverse input is triggered while the gate is closing, the
gate will reverse to the full open position. If the Auto Close
Timer is set, when the reverse input is cleared, the gate will
close when the Auto Close Timer expires.

Single Input

Open Loop

Opens the gate if it’s closed and closes the gate if it’s open
(open-close programming option). Activating the input while
the gate is moving will reverse the gate.

Functions the same as the OPEN button.

Can be programmed to stop the gate while the gate is
moving (open-stop-close programming option).

Functions the same as the reverse input.

Fire Department Input

Only used with Swing Gates. Holds the gate fully open or fully
closed while triggered. If open, the gate closes immediately
when cleared.

Stop Button

Fully opens the gate when the input is activated. Overrides
the Mid-travel Stop and Auto Close Timer (if either is
programmed for the gate). The gate will lockout in the open
position without sounding the alarm. Press the STOP button
to release the lockout.

MGT Obstacle Transmitter Trouble

Operation Indications
During normal operation, the Controller’s displays will
indicate current operating conditions and status.

Power-up Display
When the Controller powers up, dashes will show on the
display for one second, then the firmware version number
will be displayed for one second.

If any MGT transmitters are used with the operator, their
supervision feature will alert the Controller if there is any
trouble with the transmitter. MGT transmitters send hourly
status reports and will send low battery reports when the
transmitter has a low battery. The MGT transmitters also
have a tamper detection switch that will trigger when their
case is opened.

• Stop is displayed as St

When the Controller detects a low transmitter battery, a
tamper signal, or missing transmitter status reports, the
gate will still operate normally, but the beeper will change
as follows:
• The Pre-start Alarm will beep twice as fast.
• The Run Alarm will beep twice as fast and continue for five minutes
after the gate stops.
• The sounder will “chirp” every five seconds when the gate is idle.
Correct the trouble (close case, replace battery, or replace
transmitter) to clear the obstacle transmitter trouble
indications.

• Full Close is displayed as FC

Maximum Run Time Exceeded

• Full Open is displayed as FO

If the Maximum Run Time is exceeded, the Controller stops
the operator the same as if a double obstacle has occurred
in an entrapment condition. The entrapment alarm sounds
constantly, and is cleared by pressing the STOP button or the
RESET button on the cover. After the STOP or RESET button
is pressed, because the Maximum Run Time has been
exceeded, the sounder will beep twice every five seconds.
The next operation of the gate will clear the indication.

Exiting programming restarts the Controller. The power-up
display will show upon the restart.

Idle Condition
While the Controller is idling, waiting for a command, the
display will show circulating dashes.

Last Gate Position/Condition
When the gate moves or stops, the display will show the
status for up to one minute.

• Entrapment is displayed as En

Pre-start Delay
During the pre-start delay, the display will countdown the
number of seconds remaining before the operator starts.

Reverse Delay
If the gate travel direction is reversed from a user activation or
reversing device, and a reverse delay is set, the display will count
down the delay time in seconds before the operator restarts.

The Stop and/or Reset button must be located in the line-ofsight of the gate. Activation of the reset control shall not
cause the operator to start.

COMM LINK Connection Failure
In dual gate installations, if there is a connection failure
between the two operators, the COMM LINK indicator will
blink once a second. During this condition the gate will not
operate, except if triggered by the FIRE DEPT input, which
functions normally.

Gate stopping part way open or closed
(but no visible obstruction)

Troubleshooting
Contacting Technical Support
For technical questions regarding Linear gate operators, contact the
Technical Services Department at:
1-800-421-1587 from 6:30 AM to 4:30 PM Pacific time

Operator fails to start
A. If the operator has been running a large number
of cycles, the motor may have become too hot and
tripped its thermal overload breaker. Allow the motor to
cool down and the thermal overload breaker will reset
automatically.
B. Make sure you have power at the master distribution
panel and that the power has not been turned off.

Motor operates, but gate does not move
A. In operators with torque limiters and friction pad clutches,
check for signs of slipping. You can mark the sprocket
and clutch with a yellow or white grease pen and watch
for the lines to move apart if slipping is taking place.
Adjust the torque limiter tighter if this is the problem.
B. Check for broken chain or worn belts.
C. Check all setscrews on pulleys and sprockets and tighten
them if necessary, and check for keys which may have
fallen loose from keyways.

Motor sounds like it is working harder than normal
A. Make sure the gate is moving freely and without binding
throughout its entire travel.
B. Check the drive chain for obstructions (if the operator
has one).
C. If the operator has an internal brake mechanism, make
sure it is releasing.

A. The Controller may have received a false obstruction
input triggered by current sensing set too low. Make sure
the gate moves freely through its entire travel before
adjusting the current sensing.
B. The Maximum Run Timer may have counted down and
expired. This can be caused by having the timer set too
low, if a chain or belt is broken, or if a sprocket or pulley
is slipping. When the timer expires, the gate stops and
the beeper will sound.
C. An obstruction signal from an accessory wired to the
obstruction input may have triggered falsely. Check the
control board for lit indicators for any of the following
inputs: safety, shadow/reset, open obstruction, close
obstruction, stop, etc. If any are lit when the operator
should be running, remove all devices hooked to that
function and hook them up one at a time and try to run
the operator until the problem device is found. Refer to
Page 9 for details on the control board indicators.

Gate staying open with automatic system
A. If there are vehicle detectors used with the operator, one
of the loops or loop detectors may be sending a false
signal or needs to be reset. Observe the indicators on
the loop detector. Unplug the detector and try running
the operator.
B. An opening or reversing device may be stuck or
malfunctioning. Try disconnecting these devices and
hook them back up one at a time and try running the
operator until the malfunctioning device is found.
C. Make sure the close limit switch isn’t activated. If it is, the
operator will think the gate is already closed.

Limit switch getting out of time
A. Check the setscrews in limit cams for tightness. Replace
if necessary.

Model SWD Maintenance
Battery Maintenance

DC Motor Brush Replacement

The gel-cell batteries in this operator require no routine
maintenance. For assured continued performance, they
should be replaced every year. If power is to be removed
for one week or more, disconnect the negative wire from the
batteries as this will prevent deep discharging. Fully charge
before use after storage or upon initial installation.

Brushes should be inspected every 100,000 cycles or
yearly, whichever comes first. The motor has two brushes,
one on each side.
Original brushes are approximately 3/4” long and should be
replaced when they are 1/4” long, or sooner. If brushes are
allowed to wear beyond this point, permanent damage to
the motor may result.
To inspect the brushes: (1) remove the retaining cap with
straight-blade screwdriver; (2) carefully pull assembly
straight out; (3) measure the remaining brush material.
To reinstall: (4) place the brush in holder, aligning the brush’s
rounded indentation correctly with motor shaft; (5) gently
push in the spring and align metal contact with oval slot in
the brush holder, then push it in with retaining cap. Hold the
cap in place and thread the cap into brush holder. Do not
overtighten or cap will crack!
Repeat for the other brush.

Preventative Maintenance

WARNING
Always disconnect power from operator before servicing.
Keep clear of gate during operation.

General
Linear gate operators are designed for many years of
trouble-free operation and, under recommended operating
conditions, will require only minimal maintenance. To ensure
that a unit is ready for operation at all times, and to preclude
serious damage or failure, inspect the unit systematically.
Proper adjustments and lubrication should be made as
recommended.

Lubrication
✓ Bearings — For models which have pillow block style
bearings with grease fittings, lubricate at least twice a
year with a lithium complex based, petroleum oil NLGI 2
rated grease. Oilite and precision sealed bearings do not
require additional lubrication.
✓ Motor — Motors have sealed ball bearings and do not
require further lubrication. If bearing noise develops after
several years of operation, bearings should be replaced
by a motor repair company, or the motor should be
replaced if necessary.
✓ Swing Gate Arm — Check all bolts for proper tension
and tighten if necessary. Make sure the arm folds
overextends itself slightly against the overtravel stop
to reduce the chance that the gate can be backdriven
open. Adjust the close limit slightly if additional travel
is required. Lightly lubricate all pivot points with a light
machine oil.

1. For operators which utilize torque limiting clutches, check
for proper tightness. If there appears to be dust from wear
on the pads, inspect the pads and replace if necessary. If
the clutch cannot be adjusted tightly enough to move the
gate without slipping, the pads must be replaced.
2. For operators with V-belts, inspect for wear and replace
as necessary. Check for proper tension and adjust if
required. Check all pulley setscrews for tightness and
tighten if necessary.
3. For operators with internal chain drives, inspect chain
and sprockets for wear and replace if necessary.
Check for proper tension and alignment, and adjust if
required. Check all hub sprocket setscrews and tighten if
required.
4. Check limit switches and limit actuators (cams, limit nuts,
etc.) for wear and replace as required. In rotary limit
switch assemblies, wipe the limit shaft clean and apply a
light coating of dry lubricant.
5. Inspect all nuts and bolts for proper tightness and tighten
as necessary.
6. Check all reversing devices for proper function. Inspect
all contact edges for wear and replace if required. Check
photoeyes for proper alignment and function.
7. Check current sensing for proper adjustment when
finished with inspection and maintenance.
8. Inspect the installation area. Are all the warning signs
intact and visible? If they are missing or need replaced,
contact Linear. Be sure there are no control stations
mounted within reach of the gate. Review safety literature
with the customer and advise them to remove any such
stations found.

FCC Notice
This device complies with FCC Rules Part 15 and Industry
Canada Rules & Regulations. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.

For all gate operators, you must inspect the gate for proper
operation. The gate should move easily without binding through
its entire travel. If the gate does bind, adjust or fix as required.
Failure to keep the gate in good working condition will have adverse
effects on the operator.
