Preparation for Installation

Before proceeding to your opener installation, check if your gate structure is in accordance with the current
standards, especially as follows:
The gate sliding track is linear and horizontal, and the wheels are suitable，the gate should be mounted and
moving freely. Check that the structure is sufficiently strong and rigid, and that its dimensions and weights
conform to those listed in the specifications table of this document. Make sure that the gate is plumb and
level. The fence posts must be mounted in concrete. The gate does not bind or drag on the ground.
• The gate manual operation can be carried out smoothly along its entire run, and there is no excessive side
slipping.
• The opening and closing gate stops are positioned.
WARNING: Remember that control devices are intended to facilitate gate operation, but can not
solve problems due to any defects or deficiency resulting from failure to carry out correct installation or
maintenance. Take the product out of its packing and inspect it for damage. Should it be damaged, contact
your dealer. Remember to dispose of its components (cardboard, polystyrene, nylon, etc.) according to the
current prescriptions.
Refer to the following Figures for gate installation.
Using the post or wall as a stop, either directly or indirectly, is not
recommended so as to protect the post or wall against damaging shock
from the sliding gate.
In sake of safety, a positive stop must be mounted on the two end of ground track.
