The motorisation must be disengaged during installation.
assembling the manual release handle

Installing the motorisation
fitting the mounting system
The motor mounting kit provided is to be used on a concrete base. For all
other types of mounting, use the appropriate fittings.
[1]. Position the template:
• parallel to the gate,
• with the symbol on the pinion pointing towards the gate,
• by moving it by 25 mm in relation to the front line of the rack (if the
rack is fitted with a cover, measure from the line on the rack, not on the
cover),
• so that it does not obstruct movement and to ensure the gate is able to
open and close completely.
[2]. Mark the location for the ground mountings.
[3]. Drill to a depth of 85 mm.
[4]. Insert the plugs.
[5]. Tighten the lag screws on:
• the threaded section for a rack height of between 120 and 130 mm,
• the threaded section + the unthreaded section for a rack height of
between 100 and 110 mm.
• 85 mm for mounting on the ground* on a flat concrete surface.
To facilitate tightening of the lag screws, use 2 nuts to form a
"double nut".
[6]. Screw a nut and a washer onto each lag screw.
* When mounting on the ground, after securing the motor, fit a rack with
oblong mounting holes to allow the clearance between the rack and pinion
to be adjusted.
