Besides making sure the gate is in good repair and swings or slides easily, minor programming adjustments may be necessary from time to time. The operator is programmable for opening and closing distances. If the gate should not close or open completely, the controls may need reset. This is a simple process that is performed at the control box with directions in your owner's manual. Always grease hinges or rollers as required to assure easy movement of the gate.
Most operators fail because the gates or gate posts have failed.
Do this once or twice a month. Do not use WD-40. The PRO1000's are limited to 350 lb. The PRO2000 is rated for up to 1000 lb. Solid wood or other solid gates should use the PRO2000 for the extra power needed during windy conditions.
