TROUBLESHOOTING OPERATOR & ACCESSORIES

Some troubleshooting will require a hand held multimeter. An inexpensive digital multimeter may be purchased at Radio Shack or a local electric supply company. Refer to the owners manual for instructions.

SYMPTOM Gate opens OK but after closing, opens back up.

1.Excessive closing pressure on gate. Re-adjust the close limit switch on the actuator.

2.Automatic reverse sensitivity is set too sensitive. Re-adjust - CAUTION: Automatic reverse sensitivity should be set sensitive enough to avoid injury.

3.Gate is mechanically binding. Disconnect actuator from gate and eliminate binding.

4.Battery voltage is too low. Battery voltage should be 12 to 14 volts under load. Check solar panel output or battery charger output or re-evaluate usage.

5.Replace circuit board.

SYMPTOM Gate moves only a few feet, then stops or reverses.

1.Battery voltage is too low. Battery voltage should be 12 to 14 volts under load. Check solar panel output or battery charger output or reevaluate usage.

2.Gate is mechanically binding. Disconnect actuator from gate and eliminate binding.

3.Actuator extension tube is bent. Inspect for damage and replace extension tube if required.

4.Current sensitivity is adjusted too sensitive. Re-adjust current sensitivity.

5.Replace circuit board.

SYMPTOM Gate surges too much. Does not run smooth.

1.Pivot arm is not ridged. Re-weld and/or brace pivot arm.

2.Bolts are loose. Snug all bolts. Pivot arm bolt should be snug but not tight.

3.Gate is too limber. Reinforce gate.
