8 Maintenance
8.1 Periodic maintenance
Periodic maintenance to be carried out by the end-user is as follows: wipe clean the glass surface of the photocells;
check that the safety devices work properly; remove any obstructions.
We suggest checking the state of lubrication and tightness of the anchoring screws on the operator.
To check the efficiency of the safety devices, move an object in front of the photocells when gate is closing. If the operator inverts
the motion or stops, the photocells are working properly.
This is the only maintenance procedure to be carried out with the power source connected.
Before performing any maintenance procedures, cut off the main power, to prevent possible accidents due to gate movement.
To clean the photocells use a water dampened cloth. Do not use solvents or other chemical products which may ruin the
devices.
In the event of any strange vibrations or squeaking, lubricate the joints with grease, as shown in the diagram.
Make sure there are no plants within the photocell's beam, and that the gate motion is free of any obstacles.
