GTO RB923 rev installation manual Installing the Gate Bracket

Step 10:

Open the gate to the desired position (at least 10º and no greater than 110º). Position the operator so that the gate bracket just rests against the gate. Check the clearance between the operator and the gate. The operator should only make contact with the gate at the gate bracket. However, there should not be too much clearance between the operator and the gate, or the operator will fully extend before it reaches the closed position. See illustra- tion at right for examples of clearance.

Step 11:

Now align spacer and post pivot brackets hole with the post bracket hole that provides the best clearance. Insert the 1/2" x 33/4" bolt through holes in post bracket, post pivot brackets and spacer. When tightening the 1/2" nut, leave it loose enough so that you can make adjustments later.

Installing the Gate Bracket

NOTE: Rotating the front mount at the end of the push-pull tube will change its length so that the mount and gate bracket can be properly aligned with each other on the gate at the best location (i.e. between or on pickets, on braces, mounting plate, etc.).

Step 12:

With the gate bracket clamped in the open position (no more than 110o from the closed position). Detach the operator from the gate bracket. The mounting holes should be centered over the scribe line. Drill the 1/2" holes in the gate cross member and attach the gate bracket using the 1/2" x 23/4" bolts, washers and nuts. Reattach the operator to the gate bracket. You have now established the OPEN POSITION of the gate.
