Basic Maintenance - Centurion D2 Turbo Installation Manual

28. Basic Maintenance

CENTURION operators are designed to be maintenance-free. However, there are some
basic checks that should be carried out regularly (every six months). These checks will
increase the long-term reliability of the system and prevent erratic operation of your
gate.
ISOLATE MAINS SUPPLY TO SYSTEM BEFORE CLEANING OR WORKING
ON THE EQUIPMENT.
General
Even if the user has used a gate operator before, it does not mean that he knows how to
SAFELY operate it. Make sure that the user fully understands the following safety
requirements before finally handing over the site.
Show the user how to do the following:
 Keep the track clear of stones, dirt and
obstructions
 Ensure that all rollers run freely
 Put the operator into Manual Mode and
check that the gate runs freely on its rail
and does not catch or foul against the
walls or pillars
 Ensure that the gate wheels and guide-
rollers are rotating freely and are not
worn. In high-volume applications it will
be necessary to replace these components
regularly
 Ensure that the rack is properly secured
to the gate and that it does not press
down onto the operator pinion at any
point along its travel
 Keep shrubs and vegetation clear of the
motor and rack
 Check that the key still operates the
camlock - spray with lubrication if
necessary
 Keep the inside of the motor housing clear
of insects and dust

CENTURION operators are fitted with high-quality, maintenance-free lead acid batteries
which should provide up to three years of normal service life.
 Check for corrosion of the battery terminals
 Clean and apply copper-based grease as necessary
