Vent Plug Installation; Torque Limiter Adjustment - Linear SWG Installation Manual

SWG OPERATOR INSTALLATION GUIDE
Gear reducers used in Linear gate operators will have solid plugs installed prior to shipment in order to keep the oil inside
from spilling out during shipping. A vent plug has been provided to replace this plug during installation. This plug will look
similar to the ones shown below. Some models may have a vent plug with a breather pin. This pin should be removed after
installing the operator.
Before adjusting the torque limiter, make sure the gate is
in good working condition. One person should be able to
move the gate by hand. Be certain the gate moves freely
and without binding throughout its travel. Torque limiters are
set light at the factory. They must be adjusted during instal-
lation, preferably after limit cams have been manually set
(see page 9). Adjust the torque limiter tight enough to keep
it from slipping during normal operation.
To adjust the torque limiter in model SWG:
1. Bend the locking tabs away from the adjustment nut.
2. To increase the output, turn the adjustment nut clock-
wise one fl at, or 1/6 turn, at a time until desired output
is obtained.
To reduce the output, turn the adjustment nut counter-
clockwise one fl at, or 1/6 turn, at a time until desired
output is obtained.
3. Bend the locking tabs up to lock the adjustment nut in
place.
