Instructions for Releasing the Drive Wheel Clamp Mechanism for Manual Operation
Assembling the Hand Pump
This remote release device consists of an air cylinder inside the operator, which pushes the wheel clamping device open,
a length of flexible air tubing, and a remote box containing a hand pump.
The hand pump is similar to the type used to inflate sports equipment or bicycle tires.
1
. Remove the hand pump from the box. (Pull straight out to disengage the mounting clips.)
2. Push the threaded coupling into the hand pump. Do not screw or twist it.
3. Lock the coupling in place by pushing the locking lever up so it is horizontal.
4. Extend the base of the hand pump.
5. Pump until gauge pressure indicates 50 psi. This releases the wheel clamp inside the operator. The compression
spring will assist in the separation of the wheels.
6. The gate can be manually opened or closed.
NOTE: Do NOT release pressure until all manual operations are complete.
Instructions for Placing the Operator Back in Service
Return to Automated Gate Operation
1. When you are ready to return to automatic gate operation, lower the locking lever on the hand pump.
2. Disconnect the threaded coupling from the hand pump. Do NOT twist or turn the
coupling. Pull it straight out. (Removing the threaded coupling releases pressure on the wheel clamp mechanism.)
3. Place the hand pump and tubing inside the box. Do NOT disconnect the tubing from the pressure gauge.
4. Remove the cover from the SlideDriver chassis and re-engage the wheel clamping
device inside the operator by pushing the wheel clamp handle up.
5. Make sure the compression spring is properly placed. The spring ends should be over the fasteners and compressed
against the wheel arms. See illustration.
6. Cycle test the gate using the OPEN, CLOSE, and STOP buttons on the keypad.
