Mounting Pad Installation

The gate operator mounts bolted to posts secured in concrete footings. The posts support the operator and prevent it from moving during operation.

Gate Preparation

Before installing the gate operator, make sure the gate’s swing is free and level throughout the entire swing path. If the gate does not seem to operate properly, it may affect the operator performance or greatly shorten the life of the unit. The gate should be designed so that airfl ow is ample to prevent wind resistance and drag.

Mounting Specifications

Use two 3 - 3-1/2” OD galvanized posts and secure with concrete footings as shown, length to be determined by local codes, frost line depth and soil conditions.

Attach the operator with the U-bolts, side plates and hardware provided. Four 3/16” side plates go on the outside top and bottom, two 3/16” side plates go on the inside top, and two 1/2” side plates go on the inside bottom (see the illustration at right). The operator should be positioned at a level to allow the arm to be installed at mid-height on the gate. “H” dimension can vary depending on gate construction. Make sure the posts do not protrude above the operator cabinet.

✓NOTE: If non-standard mounting is necessary, consult the factory.

WARNING

The operator is intended for installation only on gates used for vehicles. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate access opening. The pedestrian access opening shall be designed to promote pedestrian usage. Locate the gate such that persons will not come into contact with the vehicular gate during the entire path of travel of the vehicular gate.

WARNING

The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is supplied between the gate and adjacent structures when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment. Swing gates shall not open into public areas.
