SECTION 5 – MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspection and service of this gate operator by a qualified technician should be performed anytime a
malfunction is observed or suspected. High cycle usage may require more frequent service checks.
When servicing the gate operator, always check any secondary (external) reversing devices (loops,
photo eyes, etc.) for proper operation. If external reversing devices cannot be made operable, do not
place this operator in service until the malfunction can be identified and corrected.
Always check the inherent reversing system when performing any maintenance. If the
inherent reversing system cannot be made operable, remove this operator from service until
the cause of the malfunction is identified and corrected. Keeping this operator in service
when the inherent reversing system is malfunctioning creates a hazard for persons which can
result in serious injury or death should they become entrapped in the gate.
When servicing this gate operator, always turn power OFF!!

replaced every two years.
Drive Belt Check for alignment, tightness and wear.
Fire Dept. Check emergency vehicle access device for proper operation.
Gate Inspect for damage. Check gate hinges for wear and grease if
necessary.
Gear Inspect for wear. Grease if necessary. Use only EP Molybdenum
Disulfide (Moly D) grease (DoorKing P/N 2600-770).
Grease Main shaft zert fitting.
Primary Reverse
System
Check that the gate reverses on contact with an object in both the
