**GENERAL PROBLEM COMMENT BY DARRYL**: Sun Feb  6 18:24:29 GMT 2011
The gate wasn't working well again this morning though the wind was light,
I think the battery energy was too low.  But I was able to get it to open
by taking my remote and going outside and pushing on the gate, you need to
note which direction it's trying to move and take out all the "play" 
(maybe 1 foot at the end) and push on the gate in the proper direction at about the midpoint and keep the load constant, if the gate bounces back and forth
too much then it will stall and the next remote command will try to close
the gate - if that happens you need to close the gate all the way with the
same method before trying again to assist it's opening as it tries to drive
to the open position.  As the sun charges the battery it works better,
but the cold mornings are sometimes lowering the voltage too much I
think.
