GROUND
• Check that the area where the gearmotor will be fitted is not exposed to flooding.
• If the gate is not a new installation, check the state of wear of all the components, repair or replace the defective or
worn parts and perform any other operations necessary.
• Check that the mechanical end-stops have been fitted.
The reliability and safety of the automated device is directly dependent on the condition of the gate structure.

INSTALLATION
1- Based on the type of structure and desired opening, decide on the exact position for the operator following the
type indications.
2- If not yet fitted, apply a closing and opening end-stop (3b).

4- Provide for a water drain to prevent stagnation and subsequent oxidation in the foundation (9).
EMBEDDING THE OPERATOR BOX
Listed below are some typical conditions in which you might be operating with the relative suggestions for each one of
them (6-7-8-9):
a) Gate still to be installed:
- It is preferable to fit an adjustable type upper
hinge for the leaf.
b) Gate with adjustable hinges:
- Remove the lower hinge
- Loosen the upper hinge and turn the leaf (6)
- Embed the box
- Refit the leaf
FOUNDATION EXCAVATION
- Dig a foundation hole with the dimensions indicated in (7).
NOTE: Depending on the type of ground, it is advisable to make a foundation for casting of quick-drying cement.
- Position the operator box in the excavation respecting the indications in (8) and check that it is level.
CAUTION: Make sure that the centre of the operator pin is perfectly in line with the hinge of the gate leaf (2 - 3a).
- Arrange a PVC tube of at least 35 mm diameter up to the operator cable inlet through which to run the electric
cables (9).
Provide for a rainwater drain pipe, preferably connected to a water recovery duct (9).
c) Gate with fixed hinges:
- Remove the gate
- Remove the lower hinge
If the gate cannot be removed, insert a support shim
underneath the lower edge of the leaf.
