4. Setup u Installazzjoni
The Locinox Samson-2 is designed for screw-in installation on various gate types. Proper installation is critical for optimal performance and longevity.
Passi ta' Installazzjoni:
- Prepare the Gate and Post: Ensure the gate and post are structurally sound and capable of supporting the closer's weight and forces. Mark the desired mounting positions for the closer body and the connecting arm brackets.
- Mount the Closer Body: Securely attach the main closer unit to the gate post using the provided screws and brackets. Ensure it is level and aligned correctly.
- Attach the Connecting Arm: Connect the arm to the closer body and the gate. Adjust the arm length as necessary to achieve the desired gate opening angle and closing action.
- Adjust Closing Speed: The Samson-2 features adjustable closing speed. Locate the adjustment valve (refer to the product diagram for exact location) and use an appropriate tool (e.g., an Allen key) to fine-tune the closing speed. Turn clockwise to decrease speed, counter-clockwise to increase speed. Test the gate's closing action after each adjustment.
- Kontrolli Finali: Open and close the gate several times to ensure smooth operation, proper latching, and absence of binding or excessive force. Make any necessary final adjustments.
5. Operazzjoni
Once installed and adjusted, the Locinox Samson-2 Hydraulic Gate Closer operates automatically. When the gate is opened, the hydraulic mechanism is engaged, and upon release, it gently and consistently pulls the gate back to its closed position at the pre-set speed.
- To open the gate, simply push or pull it as usual. The closer will offer slight resistance.
- Malli jinħelesasing the gate, the closer will engage and bring the gate to a controlled close.
- Avoid forcing the gate open or closed against the closer's resistance, as this can damage the unit.
