Patriot RSL - Gate Begins to Open or Close but Stops and Reverses After a Couple of Seconds

  1. Remove control box cover and locate the Patriot control board. Locate the sensitivity adjustment (see page 26) potentiometer located on the control board. The white center is adjustable and needs to be turned in a clockwise direction to increase force.
  2. Normally a setting of 5 will operate most gates; if your gate requires a setting above 8 there is a good chance that your gate has a problem, which needs to be corrected. Possible causes are track debris, gate is in a bind, operator chain is to tight. Pull manual release knob and roll gate by hand it should move easily if not identify cause and correct.
