Installing the motorisation

Fitting the mounting system
The motor mounting kit provided is to be used on a concrete
base. For all other types of mounting, use the appropriate
fi ttings.
[1] Position the base plate:
• parallel to the gate,
• with the symbol of the pinion pointing towards the gate,
• by moving it by 25 mm in relation to the front line of the
rack (if the rack is fi tted with a cover, measure from the
line on the rack, not on the cover),
• so that it does not obstruct movement and to ensure the
gate is able to open and close completely.
[2] Mark the location for the ground mountings.
[3] Drill to a depth of 85mm.
[4] Insert the plugs.
[5] Tighten the lag screws on:
• the threaded section for a rack height of between 110 and
130 mm,
• the threaded section + the unthreaded section for a rack
height of between 100 and 110 mm.
To facilitate tightening of the lag screws, use 2
nuts to form a "double nut".
[6] Screw a nut onto each lag screw.
[7] Place the base plate onto the lag screws with the symbol of
the pinion pointing towards the gate. It must be a minimum
of 23 mm from the ground.
Mounting the motor
[1] Position the motor on the lag screws, insert it and push it
towards the gate.
[2] Ensure the pinion is correctly positioned under the rack.
[3] Set the height of the motor and/or the rack to ensure a
clearance of approximately 2 mm between the rack and the
pinion. This setting is important to prevent premature wear
of the pinion and rack; the pinion must not be supporting
the weight of the gate.
[4] Check that:
• the setting nuts all come into contact with the base of the
motor,
• the motor is level,
• the gate runs correctly,
• the clearance between the rack and pinion does not vary
signifi cantly over the gate's travel.
[5] Fit a washer and nut onto each lag screw in order to fi t the
motor.
