PREPARATORY STEPS

The new series of actuadors VULCAN, has been devised to serve
gates up to 800 Kg with leaf up to 3 meters wide (look at the
table technical data). Before proceeding with the installation,
please make sure that your gate opens and closes freely, and
that:
• Hinges and pins are in optimum condition and properly
greased.
• No obstacles are within the moving area.
• There is no friction with the ground or between the leaves.
• The stop limit switch must be installed inside the foundation
box (see paragraph about INSTALLATION OF THE STOP LIMIT
SWITCHES)
