First loosen the fastening screws to remove the cover. To do this, open the hinged door with the supplied key; one of the two fastening
screws is there. After the removal of the cover, the electro-hydraulic assembly is fully exposed, ie. “electric motor/hydraulic jack” fitted
with the pressure safety valves that control the thrust/pushing power of the operator and the emergency release in events like power
failure. It also includes a bracket, designed to provide fixing facility to a wall or pillar and a suitable outlet for the cables; an articulated
arm, adjustable to meet the most various distance requirements on site applications; and a shoe bracket to be fixed to the gate. The
operator is supplied already pre-filled with special oil to suit both high and low environment temperatures. It allows the correct performance
of APROLI 280 BATT within a temperature range from –20°C to +80°C. APROLI 280 BATT is produced and tested in the workshops of
MECCANICA FADINI which guarantees the long lasting reliability of this product in time.

HOW TO FIX APROLI 280 BATT TO A PILLAR BY EXPANDING BOLTS OR SCREWS
Before fitting the operator APROLI 280 BATT to the gate, make sure that the gate structure is adequate to be electrically operated and
that is strong enough to bear the mechanical stress of automatic operations and is well built and smooth running.
It is recommended to reinforce the gate and fix the metallic parts which may not work properly, do the necessary to prevent or correct
friction of the gate against the pavement or pillar (this must particularly apply to the gate hinges).

Fix the bracket to the pillar and bring the electric cable to the most suitable position so that the fixing of the articulated arm is allowed
to coincide with a solid crossing bar of the gate leaf. The shoe bracket is to be bolted or welded to the gate at a suitable distance which
is set after the first manual tests. (Release lever B page 10)
DISTANCE
The distance from gate pivot center to arm bolt
center is to be calculated through manual
operations of the gate before fixing the shoe
bracket. The distances on page 6-7 are merely
an application example.
