Troubleshooting

Wire rope does not fit correctly

Verify that the wire rope diameter is within the specified 20-22mm range. Ensure the gate is fully open to allow insertion.

Sheave does not rotate smoothly

Inspect the sheave for debris or damage. If it has a roller bearing, check for proper lubrication. Contact customer support if damage is found.

Shackle is difficult to attach

Ensure the threads on the shackle pin are clean and free from debris. Do not force the shackle; check for misalignment.

Gate mechanism is stiff or won't close properly

Clean the gate area of any dirt or obstructions. Ensure no part of the wire rope is pinched. Lubricate the hinge if necessary.
