INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THE APROLI 280/700 STRONG SWING
GATE OPERATOR
FOR CORRECT APROLI 280/700 STRONG INSTALLATION AND GOOD PERFORMANCE, PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED
IN THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY AND KEEP TO THE DIAGRAMS.
IMPORTANT: THE ENTIRE INSTALLATION MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY QUALIFIED TECHNICAL PERSONNEL, WHO ARE ADVISED TO
FOLLOW GOOD INSTALLATION PRACTICE AND KEEP TO CURRENT SAFETY STANDARDS.
GENERAL INFORMATION
- Check that the structure of the gate to be automated is suitable for the application to be installed: make sure that there are no anomalies
in the metal structure, reinforce any weak points and ensure that the leaf hinges are in perfect condition.
- If necessary, reinforce the connection point between the leaf and the bended arm fixing shoe
- The gate’s movement should not be obstructed in any way: excessive rises in the ground, friction in the hinges, ...
- The gate leaves must be installed and levelled on a flat surface
The Aproli 280/700 Strong is an external oil-hydraulic gate operator for swing gates, with two-directional hydraulic locking, suitable
for gates with very large pillars and for heavy gates. It meets all the most demanding installation requirements thanks to the use of a
bended steel arm and “telescopic” end section for leaf fixing.
We recommend using the Aproli 280/700 Strong for leaves of no more than 3.0 metres long and weighing more than 300 kg.
IMPORTANT:
- The Aproli 280/700 Strong should only be installed on gates with leaves up to 3.0 metres long
- An electric lock must always be installed for leaves of over 2.0 metres long.
It is advisable to fasten all the open and closed gate stops firmly to the ground, and to check how sturdy they are during the initial gate
operation tests. (Pic.1)

Firstly slide off the whole bended arm by unscrewing the specific screw on the rotation shaft; then remove the protection cover by
unscrewing the 2 fixing screws – A (Pic. 2), one of which is found inside by opening the cover with the customized key. At this point
unscrew the 4 locking screws – B positioned beneath the automation (Pic. 2), thereby making it possible to remove the electric
motor/hydraulic jack assembly, exposing the pillar fixing bracket.

APPLICATION OF TWO APROLI 280/700 STRONG
Before proceeding with the installation and use of the Aproli 280/700
Strong, it is essential to understand the exact position of each operator
in the system. The automations have the abbreviation Sx (left) and
Dx (right) stamped on the hydraulic jack, which can be seen once
the protection cover has been removed:
intended for an observer standing in front of the two gate leaves to
be opened towards the observer himself (Pic. 3).
I.e. if the gate opens inwards the observer will be standing inside
and will see the right-hand Aproli 280/700 Strong on his right; vice
versa, if the gate opens outwards, the observer will be standing
outside and will see the right-hand Aproli 280/700 Strong on his right.

SETTING APROLI 280/700 STRONG
In order to install the device, it is firstly necessary to dismantle and expose the individual components; fundamental for both optimal
installation and good performance.
- Swing the lock cover flap placed on the left side of the front protection cover to one side (for both the RH and LH Aproli) and open
the cover with the customized key provided (Pic. 4-A)
- Remove the bended arm by unscrewing the fixing screws positioned on the rotation shaft (for both the RH and LH Aproli) (Pic. 4-B)
- Remove the protection cover by unscrewing the two fixing screws – A on the cover. (Pic. 4-C)

- In order to extract the electric motor/hydraulic jack assembly from the fixing base, unscrew the four fixing screws – B positioned

BENDED ARM AND TELESCOPIC CONNECTION ARM
The straight arm should be bolted to the bended arm. The straight arm offers various different assembly solutions since it has holes
for connection with the telescopic arm cover in 3 different positions (Pic. 6), obtaining a centre distance between the bended arm and
the fixing shoe equivalent to 460 mm, 520 mm or 580 mm. The fixing shoe is attached to a robust gate upright with screws or firmly
welded in place, and is then connected to the adjustable straight arm with one screw.
