Any fluctuations in the supply power will cause the abort gate to trip. If you have an abort gate that is tripping randomly, please verify that the line voltage to the abort gate is stable.
Verify that the magnets are adjusted properly. Follow the procedure below to properly adjust the magnets.
- Disconnect the cord on the blade up proximity switch. The proximity switch is located on the top of the abort gate next to the magnet.
- Press and hold the raise gate button on the control panel until the actuator fully extend and comes to a hard stop with the blade fully extended.
