Preparing the Gate

Step 1:

The gate must be in proper working order, plumb, level and swinging freely on its hinges. Do not use wheels on gate. The gate must move smoothly and evenly throughout its swing, without binding or dragging on the ground. Gates over 250 lb. should have ball bearing hinges with grease fittings.

Step 2:

The fence post must be strongly secured in the ground with concrete so it will not twist or flex when the operator is powered. It is important to position the operator near the midline of the gate to keep the gate from twisting and flexing. The addition of a horizontal or vertical cross member may be necessary (if one is not already in place) to provide a stable area to which the gate bracket can be secured.

For the operator to perform properly, Steps 1 & 2 must be complete before you go any further with the installa- tion.
