ADJUSTING THE LIMIT SWITCHES
After the operator is installed, adjust the open and closed position limit switches as needed. The limit switches determine how far the gate travels to open and to close.
Adjust the limit switches using the limit nuts. Lift limit switch plate to adjust limit nuts (see Illustration M).
The open and closed position switches will be reversed depending on whether the gate opens from left to right or from right to left (see Illustration N).
WARNING! In order to adjust switches, the control box must be ON. USE EXTREME
CAUTION when adjusting limit switches to prevent fingers, hair, clothing, etc., from getting caught under the limit switch plate and possibly causing bodily injury.
If your gate opens from Right to Left:
1.Gate Opening: For gate to open further, turn Limit Nut A counterclockwise. For gate to open less, turn Limit Nut A clockwise.
2.Gate Closing: For gate to close further, turn Limit Nut B counterclockwise. For gate to close less, turn Limit Nut B clockwise.
However, if your gate opens from Left to Right:
1.Gate Opening: For gate to open further, turn Limit Nut B counterclockwise. For gate to open less, turn Limit Nut B clockwise.
2.Gate Closing: For gate to close further, turn Limit Nut A counterclockwise. For gate to close less, turn Limit Nut A clockwise.
Once the limit switches are adjusted, make sure the limit switch plate rests in the grooves on both limit nuts.
