Securing the gear motor

After identifying the place where you are going to install the gear motor (which can be to the right or left of the gate), you can secure the motor with two wall
plugs or use the backplate in two ways:
1) walling up the plate (Fig. 4A- Fig. 4B)
2) securing in the ground by means of 4 wall plugs (not supplied)
N.B.: The backplate must be walled up or secured by carefully following the measurements shown in Fig. 3 to ensure correct meshing between the pinion of
the gear motor and the rack.
Walling up the plate
a. Bend the 3 anchors Fig. 4A
b. Position the backplate so that the central anchor is towards the pinion of the gear motor (therefore towards the rack) Fig. 4B item A.
c. Insert the two screws, M8x30, supplied, into the square holes in the plate and secure them with the nuts in order to fix them in place in the panel, Fig. 4B item
C.
d. Use flexible hoses, which are necessary for the connecting cables to pass through (accessories - power supply).
Pass the hoses between the holes, Fig. 4C item B. The hoses must come approximately 5 cm out of the holes in the plate.
e. Wall up the backplate perfectly flat.
Securing with wall plugs
Prepare a level surface of strong concrete large enough to cover the area of the backplate.
N.B.: We recommend making a surface protruding a few centimetres above ground level to prevent the gear motor being affected by rainwater standing or
running off.
- Follow steps c and d.
- Secure the backplate with 4 anchor bolts, M8x120 mm Fig. 4B item D, not supplied, and tighten the bolts using the washers.

Operator height adjustment and fixing:
The operator has a height adjustment mechanism to facilitate the adjustment of the clearance between the rack and pinion and to compensate any lowering
of the track without having to adjust the rack.
To adjust the height and fix the operator, proceed as follows:
- Arrange the cables
The operator base has 4 nuts positioned on the underside of the gear motor casting, next to the fixing slots. Screw the nuts through the holes onto the 4
grub screws supplied (Fig. 4C).
- Position the gear motor observing the measurements shown in Fig. 3. Place the gear motor on the backplate so that the M8x30 screws enter the two fixing
slots in the casting (Fig. 4D).
- Turn the grub screws to adjust the height of the operator and guarantee the correct clearance from the rack, ensuring that the operator is level
- Having found the required position, place the washers supplied on the M8x30 fixing screws, and tighten the operator to the plate using the M8 nuts supplied.
