LRA Linear Residential Actuator Installation Guide - 24 - 228158 Revision X13 2-3-2009
Preventative Maintenance
General
Linear gate operators are designed for many years of
trouble-free operation and, under recommended operating
conditions, will require only minimal maintenance. To ensure
that a unit is ready for operation at all times, and to preclude
serious damage or failure, inspect the unit systematically.
Proper adjustments and lubrication should be made as
recommended.
Lubrication
✓ Motor — Motors have sealed ball bearings and do not
require further lubrication.
✓ Post Bracket Pin & Traveler Shaft — Lubricate the
front and back pivot points with a lithium complex-based
grease.
✓ Actuator Body — Wipe down the unit with a clean rag.
✓ Control Cable — Inspect the operator to control box
cable for cracks in the insulation, breaks, or other signs
of failure. Check all connection points. Replace cable if
necessary.
6-Month Preventative Maintenance
1. Inspect all nuts and bolts for proper tightness and tighten
as necessary.
2. Check all reversing devices for proper function. Inspect
all contact edges for wear and replace if required. Check
photoeyes for proper alignment and function.
3. Check current sensing for proper adjustment when
finished with inspection and maintenance.
4. Inspect the installation area. Are all the warning signs
intact and visible? If they are missing or need replaced,
contact Linear. Be sure there are no control stations
mounted within reach of the gate. Review safety literature
with the customer and advise them to remove any such
stations found.
Battery Maintenance
The gel-cell batteries in this operator require no routine
maintenance. For assured continued performance, they
should be replaced every year. If power is to be removed
for one week or more, disconnect the negative wire from the
batteries as this will prevent deep discharging. Fully charge
before use after storage or upon initial installation.
FCC Notice
This device complies with FCC Rules Part 15 and Industry
Canada Rules & Regulations. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
For all gate operators, you must inspect the gate for proper
operation. The gate should move easily without binding through
its entire travel. If the gate does bind, adjust or fix as required.
Failure to keep the gate in good working condition will have adverse
effects on the operator.
WARNING
Always disconnect power from operator before servicing.
Keep clear of gate during operation.
