Maintenance & Troubleshooting

33

• On all gates weighing 250 lb. or more, routinely

grease the ball bearing hinges at least 4 times a year;
more frequently if the gates are near a coastal area.


• Keeping a few mothballs in the control box will

discourage insects from entering it and damaging the
control board.

• Clean the push-pull tube with a soft, dry cloth and

apply silicone spray to it at least once per month.

• While oxidation is a normal part of weathering

of equipment that is exposed to the elements, we
recommend you apply silicone spray to the front and
rear mounts to minimize this effect.
