If you are having trouble in placing your Centurion gate motor onto manual, it means that the gate motor gearbox is likely jammed.
This occurs when there is a problem with the gate motor installation.

So, how do one put a Centurion D3, D5 or D5 Evo sliding gate motor onto manual?
You might need to place the gate motor onto manual to allow access to your property for any reason, or a power outage may be present and you do not want to stress your gate motor battery.
lets start:
Firstly you need the correct key for the gate motor.
The Centurion gate motors all use the exact same key.
The key is numbered: 60198.
The key goes in upside down into the lock.
The key is then turned 90 degrees to the right "quarter of a turn right"
The gate motor door is then opened by pulling on the key to the front and right.
You will then see the gate motor manual release knob.
When you want to put the gate motor onto manual, you need to turn the manual release knob clock wise until it is seated.
Your gate motor will then be in the manual position.
If your gate motor does not go onto manual, it means that the gate motor gearbox has been jammed.
The only way to unjam a Centurion D3, d5 Evo gate motor gearbox is to lift the steel gate off the gate motor pinion gear. Only then will it allow the gearbox to unbind.
The binding of the Centurion gate motor gearbox means that a problem is present and that the gate motor over ran its limits, causing the gate motor gearbox to bind up.
putting the gate motor onto manual and back in gear, is not resolving the gate motor problem. so it will occur in future again.
So best is to get a professional to look at the gate motor system and installation.
How to put a Centurion D3, D5, D5 Evo gate motor into gear?
The best is to pull the steel sliding gate open to about a 1 meter pedestrian opening. this would cause the origin marker to pass the gate motor and activate the mag switch reader.
This will tell the gate motor controller card that the origin marker has passed it and that the gate motor needs to start closing the steel sliding gate on the next remote transmitter depressing.
One will unscrew the manual release knob counter clock wise. Don't be scared to unscrew the knob too far, rather too far, then not out far enough.
If the manual release knob is unscrewed too little, it means that the gate motor would be running on its clutch and oil will start leaking from the main shaft seal.
More problems will be the future if not placed in gear correctly.
Now with the manual release knob turned out, pull on the steel sliding gate until a click sound is hear.
this means the gate motor is now in gear and it can be operated by the pressing of a remote transmitter.
