Limit Switch Adjustment
The limit switch adjustments are located on the bottom of the actuator. Remove the dust plug to make
adjustments. A flat blade screwdriver is included with the operator for adjustment purposes.
If soft stop is going to be used turn dipswitch 6 or 7 (see page 17) on at this time. Prior to operating the gate the
actuator extension tube needs to be turned 6 turns in the counter clockwise direction. Disconnect from gate bracket
to turn.
NOTE: ALL ADJUSTMENTS SHOULD BE MADE IN THE MID TRAVEL (1/2 OPEN) POSITION. DO NOT
FORCE THE ADJUSTMENT; FORCING WILL DAMAGE THE LIMIT ASSEMBLY. REMOVE THE
ADJUSTMENT TOOL AFTER EACH ADJUSTMENT.
NOTE: For adjustment purposes only you might find it easier to flip the actuator upside down to access
the limit switch adjustment screws. Once adjustments are completed, flip the actuator back to the
correct final installation position. See page 8, figure 6.
