4.1 പ്രീ-ഇൻസ്റ്റലേഷൻ പരിശോധനകൾ

• Confirm the gate weight does not exceed 330 lbs.
• For ADA compliance (less than 5 lbs opening force), ensure gate widths are 4.4 ft or more.
• Ensure mounting surfaces (gate frame and post) are clean, flat, and structurally sound.

4.2 Mounting the Hinges

1. Position the main Mammoth hinge unit and the Dino hinge on the gate frame and post according to your gate's configuration (left or right-handed).
2. Securely attach the hinges using the provided Quick-Fix fasteners. Ensure all fasteners are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications.
3. Verify that the hinges are perfectly aligned to prevent binding and ensure smooth operation.

4.3 Adjusting Closing Speed and Final Snap

The hinge features an adjustable closing speed and final snap. Refer to the markings on the hinge for adjustment points. Use the appropriate tool (e.g., Allen key) to fine-tune the closing speed to your desired rate and the final snap for secure closure.

This image displays the Locinox Mammoth 180-degree self-closing gate hinge. The main hinge unit is shown vertically, highlighting its robust cylindrical design and black anodized finish. A smaller, separate component, likely the Dino hinge or a part of the main hinge, is shown to the right. Both components feature mounting points for secure attachment to a gate or post.

5. പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ

Once installed and adjusted, the Locinox Mammoth hinge provides a reliable self-closing function. The gate can be opened up to 180 degrees. Upon release, the hinge will automatically close the gate at the pre-set speed, concluding with a final snap to ensure the gate is securely shut. The patented hydraulic damping and Active Thermal System maintain a consistent closing speed across varying temperatures.

6. പരിപാലനം

The Mammoth hinge features a weatherproof aluminum housing designed for exterior use, requiring minimal maintenance.

• ആനുകാലിക ശുചീകരണം: Clean the hinge periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
• പരിശോധന: Regularly inspect the hinge for any signs of wear, damage, or loose fasteners. Ensure the gate operates smoothly without excessive friction or noise.
• ലൂബ്രിക്കേഷൻ: While the hinge is designed for low maintenance, a light application of a silicone-based lubricant to moving parts (if accessible) can help maintain smooth operation over time. Consult Locinox support for specific lubrication recommendations.
