 To increase the force setting press the set button until P3 is on the display. Then press the
Push1 button (center button) and increase the force setting until the gate no longer ob-
structs.
 Fixing the leverage issue is probably one of the most important things you can do and can
be a contributing factor to a lot of other issues. To fix this issue is to move the rear pivot point
of the gate opener further away from the hinge of the gate. This is the hole in the boomer-
ang bracket referred to in the setback description. The setback is a two measurement posi-
tion that places this rear pivot point away from the hinge of the gate. The most common
issue is that the setback measurements for a 110 degree opening were used when in reality
the gate is only opening 90 degrees. Another issue is a limitation in space or understanding
of the measurement. If this is the case and you need suggestions please feel free to take
some pictures of this area of the gate and email them to us for suggestions.
 You can test your new position before remounting the boomerang bracket by extending
and retracting the piston manually and matching it up with the gate bracket to make sure
it is almost fully extended and retracted in the open and closed positions.
 If it is suspected that a mechanical issue is present one way to determine this is to remove
the end of the piston from the gate bracket and hold the end of the piston. Trigger the
gate opener to function. If the gate opener moves in and out without obstruction while not
attached to the gate it can be determined the mechanical interaction between the gate
opener and the gate is causing the issue.
 To lubricate the internal screw drive there are holes that exist in the outer tube housing;
these holes are located under the limit switch channel on the bottom of the arm. Remove
the cap on the end of the outer tube and move the limit switch channel out of the way.
With the piston extended, spray garage door lubricant in small quantities into the holes. This
will spray lubrication on the screw drive. Move the piston in and out by turning the piston to
spread the lubrication on the screw drive.
 To tighten the bolts on the gear box remove the four long bolts on the rear of the operator.
The main motor housing will slide off and the motor and gear box will be accessible. If a bolt
or bolts are loose, pray the bolt with Lock-Tite and tighten the bolt down to secure it in
place.
The gate will go too far in one direction and then only a few inches in the other direction
This is because the limit switch order is backward from the motor lead order.
Fix for gate going too far one direction and only a few inches in the other:
 If the display is showing OP and the gate is indeed opening then the limit wires are back-
ward. Swap the first and third limit switch wire in the limit1 block for the primary operator
or single gate. Swap the first and third wire in the limit2 block if the issue is on the
secondary operator.
