Recently did over ours solid steel rood welded ontop the old angle iron and new double bearing wheels... One finger push and massive gate rolls with no effortviedcht wrote:Good day tuners, asking for some advice for a partner in my area, as well as myself:
(no info on brand) sliding Gate stopped working, normally it opens and closes with one button functioning for either direction plus stop function. Always had an issue where it stopped midway and had to press to continue at random times. Today the breaker tripped and now it isn't responsive. Can this be the simple capacitor repair or most likely something else.
My front gate (tau) is just a little slow, but it was matched properly i.e. weight to power, but It always seem to be slower than I expected. I have the angle iron with metal wheels. Will changing out wheel and track to rubber wheel improve the speed or would it make any difference?
Okay thanks will check, I usually lube/WD 40(I know, but once in a blue moon I will remember and that is always within reach) whenever I do remember, and was wondering if the rubber wheel will help. Gate is about 850-900kgpugboy wrote:check if wheels sticking
most of the wheels you get now have cheap bearings that don’t last
Thanks I figure I might change out wheels to this if I get the size. These are around 4yrs old.gastly369 wrote:Recently did over ours solid steel rood welded ontop the old angle iron and new double bearing wheels...

I know, but is when I remember, a few seconds before I leave for work, and most times the lube oil either far back in a locker or finish. WD always around ... Or is that making wheel bearing lose grease?pugboy wrote:wd40 aint a lube at all, it is not much different than using keroseneviedcht wrote:Okay thanks will check, I usually lube/WD 40(I know, but once in a blue moon I will remember and that is always within reach) whenever I do remember, and was wondering if the rubber wheel will help.

Metal on metal use lithium grease. There's the spray and heavy duty grease for suitable application. But it usually leaves a heavy white residue, so you can't use it everywhere.
WD-40 is just to remove water and temporarily unstick some rusty seized parts and leaves an oily residue. e.g. a rusty bolt, or seized lock. But still have to lubricate the mechanism properly after and use threadlocker on bolts. WD-40 cleans and dissolves many things nicely too, but try to avoid wood and rubber. Because it displaces water. Weakens those types of bonds long term. So if the gate wheels are rusty, WD-40 can clean them up and get them rolling smooth, but use lithium after for proper lubrication.
Plastic on plastic, silicone spray works nicely. Silicone works well too on most light duty even metal on metal. It's water resistant and non-reactive, so it's handy for all sorts of things in the car.

Gonna spray it out with contact cleaner and hope for the best, will report back if it works. ( breaker was flipped before the waters rose)

Leave open, electrical grade quick drying contact cleaner, change the fuse, then electrical grade lubricant to minimize the rusting of components. Leave to dry for a day then switch power on.

Its a generic chinese branded unit.
I tried programming it last night and now its only opening from the remote and not cutting off even if the magnetic switch passes infront it.ruffneck_12 wrote:supercharged turbo wrote:How do you perform a hard reset on your gate motor?I lost one of the keys and just for the safety factor,I wanna delete all the remotes and program them back.

Any model number ? If it's generic it's probably a copy of another popular one with a manual that we can find, steps should be the same
Or if we lucky, we could probably get the manual for it. Just cuz it chiney dont mean it generic all the time eh
Open it up and post a pic of everything.
3rd party one I think?pugboy wrote:does it have a built in rf receiver or third party one?
