Operator Preparation

Vent Plug Installation

In order to keep gear oil from spilling out during shipping, gear reducers used in gate operators have either a solid plug, or a sealed vent plug, installed at the factory.

For operators with a solid plug, replace the solid plug with the vent plug provided (see Figure 3).

With the vent plug installed, remove the vent plug’s breather pin to allow the gear box to vent (see Figure 3).

Gate Arm Installation

The gate arm connects the operator to the gate. The arm supplied can be used in left-hand or right-hand installations.

Gate Arm Assembly

Refer to Figure 4.

1.Remove the arm assembly cover.

2.Place the center hole in the rail guide over the 1” drive shaft.

3.Place the drive sprocket on drive shaft. Be sure the keyway is in place and set screws are secured.

4.Connect the gate bracket to the gate. Manually open the gate to approximately half-open position.

5.String the arm assembly chain as shown in Figure 4.

✓NOTE: Observe the way the chain threads around the sprockets for left-hand or right-hand installations. Refer to Figure 4.

6.Adjust for taut chain tension but do not overtighten.

7.Replace the arm assembly cover.
