Caution!
Operate the drive in manual mode at first; not in automatic mode.
After the motor gearbox has been installed, connected and adjusted, a test run in the system is necessary. Pay
attention to the following points during the test run:
1. Ensure that no people or objects are within the working area of the motor gearbox and connected parts;
2. Check whether the vent plug is fitted in the correct position (see Section 4.1);
3. Check the operation of the system in manual mode. The direction of movement must match the indication on
the control panel;
4. Check that the limit switches and stop positions are properly adjusted, and re-adjust them if necessary (see
Section 4.5).
Tip
Install an operating hours counter.
