GATE SETTINGS
Adjusting Motor Thrust
If high winds or heavy Gate Wings keep the Gate Opener from working efficiently, the motor
thrust strength can be adjusted. For safety, and to reduce needless wear on the product,
adjust only to minimum thrust required.
1. Make certain that the gates are closed before changing the settings. Use a small
slotted screwdriver (not included) to gently operate the controls.
2. Turn the TIME, MOT1, and MOT2 controls counterclockwise completely.
3. a. Press the T1 button on the remote control or turn the key switch to open the gates.
Take note of the speed that the gates open and also the noise that the motors make
(if any).
b. If the gates open in a fluid motion and the motors do not sound strained, the gates
are at the correct setting.
c. If not, close the gates, turn the MOT1 and MOT2 controls clockwise slightly, and
repeat steps 3a - 3c.
4. Once the controls are properly adjusted, the gates will be in “Manual” mode. To set
the gates to “Automatic” mode or for an explanation of the modes, refer to the following
Automatic Gate Wing Closing directions.
Automatic Gate Wing Closing
The Gate Opener can be programmed to close automatically after predetermined time.
1. Make certain that the gates are closed before changing the settings. Use a small
slotted screwdriver (not included) to gently turn the control.
2. To set the gates to “Manual” mode:
Turn the TIME control counterclockwise all the way. Do not force the control. In “Manual”
mode the gates remain open until the remote controller or the key switch is operated.
Note: If the control is even slightly turned clockwise, the unit will be in “Automatic”
mode.
3. To set the gates to “Automatic” mode:
Turn the TIME control clockwise to the desired setting. To keep the gates open about one
minute, turn the control clockwise until it stops. The control can be adjusted in between
the minimum and maximum for settings less than a minute.
