POINTS TO CHECK PRIOR TO INSTALLATION

Preliminary checks

Ensure that the gate structure is strong enough. In all cases, the drive rod must push the gate section towards a
reinforced point.
It must be possible to move the gate by hand without encountering any hard point. Check that the gate is in good
condition and is perfectly balanced.
The gate section limit stops mounted on the ground must be provided for both the opening and closing directions. Somfy
recommends installing gate open limit stops to improve the way the gate is held open.
For an existing gate, check component wear. If necessary, repair or replace faulty or worn parts.
If the gate does not include any reinforcing, use metal reinforcing plates when attaching brackets.

• Take off any jewellery worn (bracelet, neck chain or other) during installation
