How to Use and Maintain Your Cantilever Sliding Gate for Optimal Performance
The Cantilever Sliding Gate from QiGong is designed to provide long-lasting, reliable security for industrial and residential properties. Whether you’re using it as an industrial sliding gate or an electric sliding driveway gate, understanding its operation and proper maintenance will ensure that your gate continues to perform optimally for years to come.
1. Remote Control Operation
One of the key features of our Cantilever Sliding Gates is their remote-controlled operation, making it easy and convenient to open and close the gate without manual effort. Here’s how to get started:
- Learning the Remote (Coding): In most cases, the remote control is pre-coded at the factory and requires no additional setup.
However, if you need to replace or add a new remote, follow these steps:
- Clearing the Code: Press and hold the learning button on the control board for about 8 seconds until the LED light turns off. This clears all previous codes.
- Programming the Remote: Press the learning button once, and the LED will light up. Then, press the button on the remote until the LED flashes three times, indicating that coding is complete.

2. Switching Between Manual and Electric Modes
In case of a power failure or maintenance, your sliding driveway gate can be operated manually by disengaging the motor. To switch between manual and electric modes:
- Insert the clutch key into the clutch hole of the motor and turn it clockwise to disengage (manual mode) or counterclockwise to engage (electric mode).
This feature allows easy manual operation, ensuring that your sliding gate can still function even when the electric system is down.
3. Recommended Installation Environments
Our Cantilever Sliding Gates are suitable for various environments, but there are some specific considerations to keep in mind:
- Suitable for: Industrial entrances, exhibition centers, schools, and sports arenas.
- Not Suitable for: Low-lying areas prone to flooding, high wind areas, or places with frequent snow accumulation unless additional precautions are taken.
For best results, ensure the installation environment is free of extreme weather risks. In case of typhoons or heavy snow, follow these steps to protect your gate:
- Typhoons: Keep the gate closed and secured to enhance wind resistance.
- Floods: Temporarily remove the motor and control board and relocate them to higher ground.
- Snow: Clear snow from the gate and surrounding area before operation.
4. Regular Maintenance Tips
To keep your electric sliding driveway gates running smoothly, regular maintenance is necessary. Here are some key areas to check:
- Motor and Gear Rack: Every 3 months, inspect and lubricate the motor and gear rack to prevent wear and rust.
- Support Wheels and Bearings: These should be checked annually for wear. If the surface is worn or bearings show signs of rust, replace them promptly.
- Leakage Switch: Test the leakage switch monthly to ensure proper function.
- Gate Surface: Clean the gate surface every 3 months to prevent the build-up of debris or corrosion.
By following these simple maintenance steps, you’ll ensure the longevity and performance of your Cantilever Sliding Gate system.
5. Troubleshooting Common Issues
Even the best automatic sliding gates can occasionally encounter issues. Here are some common problems and their solutions:
- Gate Won’t Open or Close: Check the power source, wiring, or the fuse. Replace the fuse or capacitor if needed.
- Motor Runs but Gate Doesn’t Move: This could be due to a clutch problem. Check and adjust the spring or ensure the clutch is fully engaged.
- Slipping or Uneven Operation: Inspect the track for obstructions, tighten any loose screws, or check for wear on the drive gears or chain.
- Remote Control Malfunction: Ensure the remote battery is functional or try re-coding the remote as explained earlier.
