- Kettenspannung einstellen: The chain should be taut but not overly tight. There should be a slight amount of slack (typically 1/4 to 1/2 inch of vertical movement) to prevent excessive wear on the operator and chain. Adjust the chain tensioning mechanism on your gate operator as per its specific manual.
- Überprüfen Sie alle Verbindungen: Double-check all chain connections, especially the master links, to ensure they are properly installed and secure.
