Ranger 500 - Gate Begins to Open or Close but Stops and Reverses After a Couple of Seconds

  1. Open the control box cover and locate the Ranger control board. Locate the sensitivity adjustment 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 (8 for PRO80) or (5 for HD) will operate most gates; if your gate requires a higher setting there is a good chance that your gate has a problem, which needs to be corrected. Possible causes are incorrect hinges, gate touching the ground; gate not level or the actuator arm connected to the gate defective or is bent. Identify and correct problem.
