Troubleshooting
Gate is difficult to open or close manually.
Check that all hinges are securely fastened and properly aligned. Ensure the gate is not sagging, which could indicate an issue with hinge adjustment or mounting. Clear any obstructions from the gate's path.
Automation system is not working correctly.
Verify that the gate moves freely manually. Check the power supply to the automation unit and ensure all connections are secure. Consult the automation system's manual for specific troubleshooting steps.
Surface appears dull or dirty after cleaning.
Ensure you are using a mild soap solution and rinsing thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive materials. For stubborn marks, a slightly stronger, non-abrasive cleaner designed for powder-coated surfaces may be used cautiously, followed by a good rinse.
Hinges squeak during operation.
Lubricate the hinge points with a silicone-based lubricant. Avoid oil-based lubricants, which can attract dirt. Ensure the lubricant is applied directly to the moving parts of the hinge.

Follow the provided installation manual closely, paying attention to hinge placement and gate alignment to ensure smooth swing operation. It is recommended to have two people for the installation process due to the size of the gate.
