FAAC gates closing improperly

    Hi,

    I have a set of FAAC swing gates closing incorrectly.
    The gates that closes first is swinging too far when closing. This is leaving a gap in the gstees when closed. The same gate also is opening too wide and hitting the kerb behind the gate. So swinging too far in both directions. This happened after I closed the gate with a fob whilst it was still opening after coming back from a walk. Any advice greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    Normally gates such as this hit a mechanical stop when fully opened and fully closed. This prevents the gates traveling to far when opening or closing.

    I have a similar problem whereby one gate opens too far and is touching pier. Would simply adjusting the mechanical stop slightly avoid this? Presumably I couldn't do any harm to motor by making this adjustment. Thanks
