Column Installation

If this operator will be used with gates that are mounted on masonry, brick, or rock (etc.) columns, read the following carefully before proceeding

A.The simplest solution is to install the operator in a push-to-open configuration. The minimum clearance is easier to achieve and clearance is no longer a problem, since the operator will be pushing the gate away from the column instead of pulling it toward the column. It is recommended that you place a steel plate between the operator mounting brackets and masonry surface for additional strength.

B.If a push-to-open installation is impossible due to traffic hazards, terrain, etc., another option is to re- hang the gate. You may hang it on a post, either in the center of the column or at the back corner, or move the gate to the back corner of the column.

C.The most difficult solution is to cut a notch in the column to accommodate the operator and power cable. This job is NOT for the inexperienced!*
