tiPS FOR RunninG LOw VOLtaGe caBLe yOuRSeLF. always use conduit if running cable in grass, open ground, gardens or pebbles. conduit should be buried deep enough so it is out of harms way. for existing lawns, pebbled areas or if run along side a driveway then buried just below the surface is fine. -
Page 17: Check Height Of The Operator
check heiGht OF the OPeRatOR if the mounting holes for the rack are with each operator sitting on it’s below the bottom edge of the gate, concrete pad (not fixed in place yet), then the operator will need to be place a length of rack on each gear raised up. -
Page 18: Fix The Operator In Place
Fix each OPeRatOR in PLace fix each operator to it’s concrete pad using m10 x 50mm dyna bolts or longer if the operators height had to be raised. use galvanised dyna bolts if you can so they won’t rust. large raw plugs and galvanised screws may also be used if prefered. -
Page 19: Step 3 - Fit The Rack To The Gate
step 3 - fit the raCk to the Gate Before fitting any rack, lay it out in front of each closed gate to see how it lines up. start at the operator end, with the first length sitting on the operators gear wheel, adjusting the position of the rack as you go to make sure the mounting lugs miss the wheels. - Page 20 tek screw in centre of slot move the gate by hand until each of the tek screws are close to the gear wheel and adjust the height of the rack until it has about 1mm clearance above the gear wheel. tighten the tek screws fully once the height is correct.
- Page 21 length slotted into the first drill tek screw in on an angle to close gap between lengths of rack now fit the 2 nd length of rack by sliding the gate open a bit further and placing it so one end is slotted into the first length and the other end is sitting on the operators gear wheel, allowing enough room to drill another tek screw in.
- Page 22 once all lengths are tacked in place and the gate is opened and closed to check the rack overlaps the gear wheel at all times then cut off any access rack using an angle grinder or hack saw. the rack may be plastic on the outside but it has a steel rod in the middle.
