IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Both the installer and the owner and/or operator of this
system need to read and understand this installation
manual and the safety instructions supplied with other
components of the gate system. This information
should be retained by the owner and/or operator of the
gate.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of injury or death
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL
INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Never let children operate or play with gate
controls. Keep the remote control away from
children.
3. Always keep people and objects away from
the gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH
OF THE MOVING GATE.
4. Test the gate operator monthly. The gate
MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object
or stop when an object activates the noncontact sensors. After adjusting the force or
the limit of travel, retest the gate operator.
Failure to adjust and retest the gate operator
properly can increase the risk of injury or
death.
5. Use the emergency release only when the
gate is not moving.
6. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read
the owner’s manual. Have a qualified service
person make repairs to gate hardware.
7. The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians
must use separate entrance.
8. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
When installing the photo-beams supplied with this
unit two things need to be considered.
1. Care should be exercised to reduce the risk of
nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle, trips
the sensor while the gate is in motion.
2. One or more photobeams shall be located
where the risk of entrapment exists, such as
the perimeter reachable by the moving gate
leaf.
GATE DESIGN
1. A gate is a potential traffic hazard, so it is important that you locate the gate far enough away
from the road to eliminate the potential of traffic
getting backed up. This distance is affected by the
size of the gate, how often it is used, and how fast
the gate operates.
2. The operator you choose to install on your gate
must be designed for the type and size of your
gate and for the frequency with which you use the
operator.
3. Your gate must be properly installed and must work
freely in both directions before the automatic
operator is installed.
4. An automatic operator should be installed on the
inside of the property/fence line. Do not install the
operator on the public side of the property/fence
line.
5. Pedestrians should not use a vehicular gate system.
Prevent such inappropriate use by installing
separate gates for pedestrians.
6. Exposed, reachable pinch points on a gate are
potentially hazardous and must be eliminated or
guarded.
7. Outward swinging gates with automatic operators
should not open into a public area.
8. The operating controls for an automatic gate must
be secured to prevent the unauthorized use of those
controls.
9. The controls for an automatic gate should be
located far enough from the gate so that a user
cannot accidentally touch the gate when operating
the controls.
10. An automatic gate operator should not be installed
on a gate if people can reach or extend their arms
or legs through the gate. Such gates should be
guarded or screened to prevent such access.
INSTALLATION
1. If you have any question about the safety of the
gate operating system, do not install this operator.
Consult the operator manufacturer.
2. The condition of the gate structure itself directly
affects the reliability and safety of the gate
operator.
3. Only qualified personnel should install this
equipment. Failure to meet this requirement could
cause severe injury and/or death, for which the
manufacturer cannot be held responsible.
4. The installer must provide a main power switch that
meets all applicable safety regulations.
5. Clearly indicate on the gate with the 2 warning signs
that are included (visible from either side of the
gate).
6. It is extremely unsafe to compensate for a damaged
gate by increasing hydraulic pressure.
7. Devices such as reversing edges and photobeams
must be installed to provide better protection for
personal property and pedestrians. Install reversing
devices that are appropriate to the gate design and
gate application.
8. Before applying electrical power, be sure that the
voltage requirements of the equipment correspond
to your supply voltage. Refer to the label on your
operator system.

THE 400 OPERATOR
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
The FAAC 400 Operator is an automatic gate operator
for a swinging gate leaf. It can accommodate a gate leaf
of up to 2000 lb (900 kg) and up to 20 ft (6 m) in
length.
The self-contained 400 Operator is an electro-hydraulic
unit consisting of an electric motor, a pump, a valve
assembly, and a hydraulic cylinder, all housed in an
anodized aluminum oil reservoir.
The 400 Operator can be used to swing the gate leaf
inward or outward. Most versions provide hydraulic
locking in at least one position, either opened or closed,
depending on how it was ordered.
The hydraulic lock is a service device rather than a
security device. Additional, external locks are
recommended under the following conditions:
• You are installing the Model 400 SB
• The length of the gate leaf is 12 ft or more
• The installation requires tight security
• The site is subject to vandalism
• The site is subject to strong or very gusty wind
• You are installing a solid face gate
For gates with two leaves, two operators are installed,
one on each leaf, and both are wired to one control
panel. In such two-operator gate installations, one leaf
can be programmed to open/ close slightly later than
the other leaf to accommodate overlapping gate
designs.
For its protection, the single-phase, bidirectional motor
shuts off automatically if its operating temperature
reaches 212 deg F (100 deg C). Also for the protection
and proper operation of the 400 Operator, each gate
leaf on which it is installed must have a fixed positive
stop in both the opened and closed positions.
The 400 Operator also includes a key-operated Manual
Release mechanism and two bypass valves that
precisely control the force applied to the gate leaf
through the 400 Operator.
The Manual Release mechanism is a key-operated
device that disengages (or engages) the hydraulic
system of the 400 Operator. When the hydraulic system
is disengaged, you can open and close the gate leaf by
hand. Such manual operation of the gate is necessary
during installation and useful during power failures. The
two bypass valves are located beneath the locking cap.
You need to adjust the bypass valves to meet the safety
standards of FAAC International, Inc. The standards
state that the gate leaf should stop if it encounters a
force of more than 33 lb (15 kg).
Additional reversing devices (such as inductive loops
and photocells) should be installed to provide more
complete protection for people and property.
The electronic control panel is a microprocessor-based
controller that accepts a wide range of product
accessories and reversing devices, thus allowing for
flexible gate system design.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Installing the 400 Operator involves preparing the gate,
installing the operator(s), installing the control panel,
and fine-tuning the pressure adjustments on the
operator(s).
Note: The following installation instructions
assume you are fully capable of installing an
operator. This manual does not instruct you in
designing a gate, installing a gate, or basic
electrical wiring. The installation tasks discussed in
this manual are tasks particular to the 400
Operator.
PREPARING THE GATE
Before installing the 400 Operator, you need to prepare
the gate itself for the operator. Be sure to do the
following things:
1. Make sure that the gate is plumb.
2. Make sure that the gate moves smoothly on its
hinges without excessive friction by swinging
it open and closed by hand. Lubricate all the
gates’ moving parts.
3. Provide positive stops for the gate leaves in
the fully open and fully closed positions (see
Figure 2).

MANUAL RELEASE MECHANISM
For installation of the locking cap cover see page 20. To
access the keyhole, slide the key-hole cover in the
direction of the arrow (see Figure 3). Insert the key and
turn it counterclockwise one full turn to disengage the
operator’s hydraulic system. You can now move the gate
leaf slowly by hand to open or close the gate.
Operating the gate leaf by hand is necessary during
installation and is useful during power failures.
You re-engage the hydraulic system by turning the key
clockwise one full turn. Remove the key and slide the
cover closed.

INSTALLING THE OPERATOR
Installing the 400 operator consists of the following
steps:
1. Attach the rear mounting bracket
2. Attach the mounting hardware
3. Attach the front mounting bracket
4. Attach the operator to the gate
5. Adjust the operator pressure
ATTACH THE REAR MOUNTING BRACKET
Attach the rear mounting bracket according to the
dimensions in Figure 4.
WARNING! You must achieve the A and B
dimensions, as specified in Figure 4.
Modification of the rear bracket may be
necessary to achieve these dimensions (I.e.,

Re-attach the operator to the mounting brackets. Once
the operator is mounted and level, remove the vent
screw from the bottom of the rear flange. (See Figure 1)
Use the 3mm hex key on the end of the screwdriver
provided.
WARNING! Failure to remove the vent screw
may result in erratic operation of the operator or
blown seals.
Slowly move the gate open and close.
WARNING! The piston should not bottom out in
either direction. Doing so will seriously damage
the operator.
Be sure that the gate reaches the positive stop before
the piston bottoms out. Adjust the swivel joint if
necessary.
After checking the swing of the gate, secure all nuts and
bolts, including the jam nut on the swivel joint.
Once the operator is secure, attach the protective cover
to the front flange with the tie rods and end cap
provided.
Note
cover tie rods can prevent them from freezing up
and breaking if operator is ever removed for
service.
Once the protective cover is installed, swing the gate to
ensure that it does not contact the cover at any point of
the swing.

BLEED THE OPERATOR
Air bubbles in hydraulic fluid cause erratic performance
in a hydraulic system, so you must rid the 400
Operator of that air to insure smooth operation.
If you have removed the vent screw, the 400 operator
should bleed itself. Running the operator should
remove any air from the system. If the operator runs
smooth throughout the swing, no attempt to further
bleed the unit is necessary.
If the operator runs erratic, perform 10 bleeding
operations. One bleeding operation consists of
automatically opening and closing the gate and then
pausing for two minutes. The 2-min pause allows the
air bubbles to escape through the vent screw hole.

400 Operator And
455 D Control Panel Installation Manual
THE 455 D CONTROL PANEL
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The FAAC 455 D control panel is used to operate the
following models.
Swing gate operators:
400 412
402 750
422 760
Barrier gate operators:
610/615
The 455 D programming controls the following:
Operating logic: A, S, E, EP, B, and C logics
available.
Reversing device behavior: Choose whether a
triggered reversing device during closing
immediately reverses gate movement or stops
the gate and reverses gate movement when no
longer triggered.
Caution: For all hydraulic operators, the torque
must be programmed to the maximum (50)
setting.
Pause time between opening and closing:
adjustable from 0 to 240 seconds.
Opening/Closing time: adjustable
from 0 to 120 seconds.
Leaf delay on closing: adjustable from 0 to 28
seconds.
The 455 D control panel should be installed in an
enclosure that is conveniently located as close as
possible to the gate operator. All electrical
connections from the control panel to the operator
must be made in a weatherproof junction box.
The 455 D control panel requires a single-phase
power supply voltage (115 VAC [±10%] or 230 VAC
[+6 or -10%], 50–60 Hz). The power supply should be
protected by a 15 amp dedicated circuit breaker (not
provided).
The installer is responsible for grounding the operator
system, for providing the main power breaker switch,
and for making sure that the entire gate system meets
all applicable electrical codes. The installer should refer
to the installation manual for a given operator for more
information.
N
OTE: An installation is U.L. compliant only
when you install the FAAC operators according
to the UL325 standards.
NSTALLING THE 455 D CONTROL PANEL
I
Locate the control panel in the most convenient position
possible, considering the movement of the gate.
Installing the control panel consists of the following
general steps:
• Connecting the main power to the control
panel
• Connecting the activating device
• Connecting the operator to the control panel
• Checking the direction of the motor's rotation
• Connecting other devices to the control panel
• Set operating modes
CONNECT THE MAIN POWER SUPPLY
WARNING! Turn the main power off before you
make any electrical connections or before
programming.
Wire the main power supply to control panel terminals
in block J3 (see Figures 9 and 11). The installer is
responsible for insuring that a separate, grounded
circuit protected by a circuit breaker is between the
control panel and the main power supply. All wiring
should conform to applicable electrical codes, and all
wiring and fittings should be weatherproof and/or
suitable for burial.
Connect the ground to the grounding terminal in block
J3 and connect the power wires to the terminals labeled
N (neutral) and L (line).
N
OTE: For a 230V system, a neutral is not
needed. Connect one 115V line to the L (Line)
and a second 115V line to the N (Neutral).
CONNECT THE OPERATOR(S) TO THE

WARNING!
you make any electrical connections or before
programming.
CAUTION: The operators are grounded only by
the grounded circuit the installer provides.
USING A JUNCTION BOX
If an operator is more than 2 ft away from the control
panel, you must use a junction box for connection.
Use a U. L. Listed cord grip where the operator cord
enters the junction box.
Note: If you have a one-leaf gate design, the
operator must be connected to Motor 1
(terminals 1,2, & 3)
To wire up motor 1, connect the white wire to
terminal 1(on the J4 terminal strip), the black wire to
2, and the red wire to 3. Wire each leg of the capacitor
(supplied) to terminals 2 & 3.
Note: If you want to delay the closing of one gate
leaf in a two-leaf gate design, be sure to connect
its operator to Motor 1.
In order to wire motor 2 in a bi-parting system,
Turn the main power off before
connect the white wire to terminal 4 (on the J4
terminal strip), the black wire to 5, the red wire to 6.
Wire each leg of the capacitor (supplied) to terminals
5 & 6.
CHECK THE MOTOR’S DIRECTION OF
OTATION
R
WARNING! The pressure valves are not preset at
the factory and may operate a gate leaf with
enough force to endanger people and seriously
damage the gate leaf itself.
After you have connected the main power supply, and
the operator(s) to the control panel, you need to
check the direction of rotation for each operator
motor in your gate design.
Note: To check a motor’s direction of rotation,
you must have three closed circuits on terminal
block J1. Install one circuit between terminals 11
and 16, another circuit between terminals 12
and 19, and another circuit between terminals
13 and 19.

The terminal strip wiring of the
450 D with photobeams
NOTE: In order to c o mply w i th U L 3 2 5 , two se ts
of FAAC photobeams m ust be installed. One set
should be 6 in. outsi de the cl os ed gate(s) and act
as a c l os i ng reversing devi c e. Another set should
be 6 in. beyond the swing of the gate(s ) and act
as an opening reversing device. The installer is
responsible for determining the appropriate
mounting height.
You cannot check the motor’s direction of rotation
without these circuits (jumpers) or the accessories.
When properly prepared for testing, the LEDS FSWOP,
STOP, and FSWCL should be illuminated (see figure 12
on page 17).
WARNING! Running the operator—even for
testing purposes—without a connected reversing
device is potentially dangerous. Do not place
yourself within the path of the moving gate
during your test.
Disengage the operator(s) with the Manual Release
key (see operator installation manual), and open the
gate by hand about halfway.
Next, engage the operator(s) with the Manual Release
key so that you can check the rotation of the
motor(s).
To activate the operator(s) momentarily short across
terminals 9 and 14.
Turn on the main power and send an activating signal
to the operator. The gate leaf (or leaves) should open.
If a gate leaf closes, then you need to turn off the
main power and reverse the connection of the red
and black wires on terminal block J4 for the operator
controlling that leaf. Then you need to recheck the
rotation direction again.
After having completed your test of the motor’s
direction of rotation, replace any test circuits you
installed (between terminals 11 and 16, between 12
THE 455 D CONTROL PANEL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
and 19, and between 13 and 19) with the proper
reversing and stop devices. The instructions for
installing such accessories follow.

You need to program the control panel for your gate's
operation. The 455 D Control Panel has on board
programming that controls a wide range of functions.
O
PERATING LOGICS
N
OTE: The 455 D Control Panel provides inputs
for opening reversing devices and closing
reversing devices. FAAC strongly recommends
the use of reversing devices, such as photocells
or other non-contact sensors.
• A (automatic): The gate opens on command
and automatically closes after a pause phase. A
second command while opening is ignored; a
second command during the pause phase
interrupts the pause time; a second command
during closing reopens the gate. A maintained
open command will hold the gate open.
• S (security): The security mode is like A logic
except that a second command during opening
THE 455 D CONTROL PANEL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
immediately closes the gate. A maintained
open command will not hold the gate open.
• E (semi-automatic): This mode requires a
command to open and a command to close.
A second command during opening stops the
gate. A second command during closing
reopens the gate.
• EP (semi-automatic, step by step): This mode
requires a command to open and a command
to close. A second command during opening
or closing causes the gate to stop. A third
command then reverses the previous motion
of the gate.
• B (manned, pulsed): This mode is designed
for guard station use and requires a threebutton switch (pulsed) to open, close, and
stop the gate.
• C (manned and constant): This mode requires
constant pressure switches. One to open and
one to close. No pressure on a switch stops
the gate.
The three programming push buttons allow the
programming of the torque (or pressure), the pause
time between opening and closing, and the leaf delay
on closing.
WARNING! Turn the main power off before you
make any electrical connections.
For all FAAC hydraulic operators using the 455 D
control panel, the force must be set at its maximum
setting of 50 in order to supply the correct voltage to
the operator.
P
AUSE TIME: The pause time between opening and
closing can be adjusted from 0 seconds to 4 minutes.
Time is adjusted in one-second increments from 0—
59 seconds. When 60 seconds is reached, time is
adjusted in 10 second increments up to 4 minutes.
i.e. if display shows 2.5, it means 2 minutes and 50
seconds.
L
EAF DELAY: You may choose to delay one leaf on
closing for overlapping gate leaves. Be sure the
operator on the leaf for delayed closing is connected
to Motor 1. On opening, the leaf connected to Motor 2
is delayed 2.5 sec.
N
OTE: If an opening leaf delay is desired, it must
be enabled in the Advance Programming.
However, if enabled, you cannot
opening delay of the operator connected to
Motor 2.
The closing leaf-delay time is adjustable from 0 to 4
minutes.
N
OTE: If the opening/closing time is set at less
than the leaf delay time, the delayed leaf closes
at the end of the closing time.

LEARNING OF OPERATING TIMES
WARNING: During the learning procedure, the
safety devices are disabled! Therefore, any and
all traffic must be avoided in the path of the gate
leaf(s).
NOTE: Programming must start with the gate(s)
in the closed position.
Opening/closing time is established by the learning
procedure which varies slightly according to whether
you are or are not using Gatecoders.
LEARNING OF NORMAL TIMES
Normal learning (i.e. without Gatecoders) can be done
in two different ways:
SIMPLE LEARNING (WITHOUT SLOW DOWN)
Close the gates, enter
TIME LEARNING function and press the + push-button
for 1 second the display begins flashing and the
leaves begin the opening movement.
Wait for the leaves to reach the opening positive stop
and then supply an OPEN A command after the
desired motor run time has been reached (by pushbutton or radio control) to stop the movement: the
leaves stop and the display stops flashing. One more
command given will close the gate.
The procedure has ended and the gate is ready to
operate.
COMPLETE LEARNING (WITH SLOW DOWN)
NOTES:
• If you do not wish to slow the gate
operator(s) down, wait for the gate to reach
its positive stop and supply two (2)
consecutive open commands (within 1
second).
• If only one gate operator (1) is used, you
must go through the entire programming
procedure, as if you were programming for
two gate operators (2). When the operator
has finished opening, supply 5 open
commands until the gate operator begins to
close, and then resume normal operations.
Close the gates, enter
TIME LEARNING function and press the + push-button
for more than 3 seconds: the display begins flashing

COMPLETE LEARNING
NOTES:
• If only one gate operator (1) is used, you
must go through the entire programming
procedure, as if you were programming a
gate operator (2). When the gate operator
(1) has finished opening, supply 5 open
commands until the gate operator begins
to close, and then resume normal
operations.
Close the gates, enter
the TIME LEARNING function and press the + pushbutton for more than 3 seconds: the display begins
flashing and leaf 1 begins opening movement. The
following functions can be commanded by the OPEN
A command (by radio control or key push-button):
• When gate operator (1) reaches the
position that you want it to slow down, an
open command must be given to start the
slow down phase. When the gate operator
reaches its positive stop, the operator will
automatically shut off.
• An open command must be given to start
opening gate operator (2).
• When gate operator (2) reaches the
position that you want it to slow down, an
open command must be given to start the
slow down phase. When the gate operator
reaches its positive stop, the operator will
automatically shut off.
• An open command must be given to start
closing gate operator (2).

N
OTES:
• The open command to slow down the gate
should be given before the gate reaches the
positive stop to prevent the gate from hitting
the stop at full speed. The positive stop could
be mistaken for an obstacle and then upon
hitting it, the gate(s) would automatically
reverse on contact.
AUTOMATED SYSTEM TEST
When you have finished programming, check if the
system is operating correctly.
Most important of all, check that the force is adequately
adjusted and that the safety devices are operating
correctly.
If pressure adjustments on hydraulic operators are not
set before programming. It may need to be
reprogrammed for desired results.

MAINTENANCE
THE 400 OPERATOR
The FAAC recommended maintenance schedule varies
according to the frequency of use of the operators,
whether lightly used operators (once or twice an hour)
or heavily used operators (many cycles per hour).
Operators used in a humid/ salt air climate should
follow the heavy duty use schedule.
Check the oil.
To check the oil level correctly, remove the locking cap
from the operator. The operator should be at least half
full.
Note: You will not be able to see the oil level.
Use something flexible (i.e. A piece of stranded
wire) to act as a dipstick.
If the operator is too full, it will bleed oil out the vent
hole.
Light duty use: check once per year
Heavy duty use: check every 6 mo
Change the oil.
Changing the oil requires removing the operator from its
installed position. Remove the locking cap and drain the
oil out of the hole under the cap. Refill the operator with
the proper new oil (see page 4).
Light duty use: change every 4 yr
Heavy duty use: change every 2 yr
Check the pressure settings.
Light duty use: check once per year
Heavy duty use: check every 6 mo
HE 455 D CONTROL PANEL

Keep the control panel free from spider webs, insects, etc.
Otherwise, the control panel requires no maintenance.
SAFETY IN GATE DESIGN
• A gate is a potential traffic hazard, so it is important
that you locate the gate far enough away from the
road to eliminate the potential of traffic getting
backed up. This distance is affected by the size of
the gate, how often it is used, and how fast the gate
operates.
• The operator you choose to install on your gate
must be designed for the type and size of your gate
and for the frequency with which you use the
operator.
• Your gate must be properly installed and must work
freely in both directions
operator is installed.
before
• An automatic operator should be installed on the
inside of the property/fence line. Do not install the
operator on the public side of the property/fence
line.
• Outward swinging gates with automatic operators
should not open into a public area.
the automatic
• Pedestrians should not use a vehicular gate system.
Prevent such inappropriate use by installing
separate gates for pedestrians.
• The operating controls for an automatic gate must
be secured to prevent the unauthorized use of those
controls.
• The controls for an automatic gate should be
located far enough from the gate so that a user
cannot accidentally touch the gate when operating
the controls.
• Exposed, reachable pinch points on a gate are
potentially hazardous and must be eliminated or
guarded.
• It is extremely unsafe to compensate for a damaged
gate by over tightening a clutch or increasing
hydraulic pressure.
• An automatic gate operator should not be installed
on a gate if people can reach or extend their arms
or legs through the gate. Such gates should be
guarded or screened to prevent such access.

TROUBLESHOOTING
WARNING! Before you do any work on the control panel,
be sure to turn off the main power.
NOTE: Any control panel specific information in the following applies to the 455 D control panel only.
Page 27
PROBLEM: THE GATE DOES NOT RESPOND TO AN
ACTIVATING SIGNAL.
SOLUTION:
You should have at least one operator wired to
terminals 1,2 and 3.
Be sure that you have the motor start capacitors wired in
terminals 2 and 3, 5 and 6 with the directional leads.
Be sure that the torque/force setting is at the maximum
setting of 50 in programming.
Verify that the LEDs FSWOP, FSWCL, and the STOP are
illuminated. If they are not illuminated, be sure that you
have closed circuits in the stop and reversing inputs.
Verify that your activating device works properly. OP_A
should illuminate when you signal the gate to open. If
OP_A does not illuminate when you signal the gate, then
the problem may be in your activating device. Short
across terminals 9 and 14. If the short causes the gate
to open, then the problem is in the activating device.
Repair or replace the device.
PROBLEM: THE GATE DOESN'T OPEN (OR CLOSE)
THOUGH THE MOTORS ARE RUNNING.
SOLUTION:
Make sure that the motor is running in the right
direction, and make sure the Manual Release
mechanism has fully engaged the hydraulic system.
PROBLEM: THE GATE OPENS BUT DOES NOT CLOSE.
SOLUTION:
Make sure you have selected the desired operating
mode.
Verify that the reversing devices are working properly.
FSWOP and FSWCL should be illuminated except when a
reversing device is triggered. If either does not
illuminate, then one of your reversing devices is
preventing the gate from responding to your signal.
Check your reversing devices.
If no reversing devices are installed, make sure a circuit
is installed between appropriate terminals.
PROBLEM: THE GATE DOES NOT FULLY OPEN (OR
CLOSE).
SOLUTION:
Increase the bypass pressure(s) to see if the hydraulic
system needs more pressure.
Check the operator's open/ close time selection. You
should set a time that is just longer than the rated
speed of your model of operator. For example, because
the 400 CBAC has a rated opening time of 17 sec, you
should set the time at 20 or 25 seconds.
Check to see that there are no obstructions in the path
of the gate or that the hinges are not binding.
PROBLEM: THE OPERATOR DOESN'T WORK
SMOOTHLY AND THE GATE JERKS AS IT OPENS AND
CLOSES.
SOLUTION:
Check the oil level in the operator.
Make sure the Manual Release mechanism has fully
engaged the hydraulic operation of the operator.
Bleed the air from the hydraulic system. (See page 11).
Make sure that a flexible gate leaf is not the problem. If
the gate leaf flexes, then stiffen the gate or use a slower
operator.
PROBLEM: THE GATE DRIFTS OPEN OR CLOSE WHEN
THE MOTOR IS NOT RUNNING.
SOLUTION:
Remove the manual release valve, located next to the
pressure adjustment screws, with a 6mm hex key. Be
sure that the white ring and the o’ring are not damaged.
If not damaged, there may be internal damage and a
seal kit will be needed to rebuild the unit.
