TMT 800LS Motor Servicing
The TMT 800LS gate operator, much like a car, will provide many years of excellent service if a service schedule is carried out at regular intervals. Follow these basic checks and do repairs in time to get the most out of your operator.
WEEKLY
- Clear away any dirt, sand, stones or foliage collected on the gate rail.
- Clear away any branches, shrubs or grass that might interfere with the movement of the gate.
MONTHLY
- Check for damage or cracks to the motor lid. Although the operator lid is designed for outside conditions, stones and severe hail may damage it. A cracked lid should be immediately replaced as water and dirt will damage the operator.
- Check physical end stops are secure and in place
- Check for insect and reptile infestations.
- It is recommended that moth balls be placed inside the operator housing to discourage these infestations which can cause damage.
EVERY 6 MONTHS
- Place the motor into manual mode and test the gate by opening and closing slowly, take note of any tight sections you may feel.
- Check for any battery leaks if you have added a battery, these can cause damage to the wiring.

- Check that the limit brackets on the racking have not shifted.
- Check guide rollers on the gate.
- Check all brackets are secure.
