Nice motor - Vandamme911 - 28-11-2022
Evening all, I’m having an issue with a swing gate, one side motor jams when it’s cold, the gate needs a shake to open.
Once it’s been used a few times it works ok until it’s cold again.
Is this a knackered motor, or is there a fix?

Hi,
thank you for the message,
firstly we must ascertain what is causing your issue; in my experience, it is most likely that the geometry is outside of the tolerable values shown in the manual.
Secondly, it may need an increase in force, could you confirm the model number of the control panel and motor, please?
