IMPORTANT
Never weld parts to the gate or posts when the operator circuit board is powered. Doing so may damage the board beyond repair.
STEP 5 GATE BRACKET INSTALLATION
Activate push button on the side of the control box and extend the actuator until it stops (PULL TO OPEN only, leave actuator retracted for PUSH TO OPEN). WARNING: Do not let extension tube rotate as it extends. Do not insert fingers or tools in the hole at the end of the extension tube
Align the hole in the end of the actuator extension tube with the holes in the gate bracket and locate gate bracket mounting position with the gate in the closed position. Weld or bolt the gate bracket to the gate using 3/8” bolts, lock washers, and nuts.
Tip: Tack weld or C clamp at first if uncertain about location. Run the unit through a complete cycle to insure proper operation then mount permanently .
Bolt the actuator to the gate bracket as shown.

STEP 6 Limit Switch Adjustment
Cycle the operator and adjust limits as required. If the operator opens automatically after closing, extend less until gate remains closed.
Do not retract the extension tube too far or the retract limit switch will not be activated. (You can depress the LED ENABLE button on the control board to see when the actuator has reached it’s limit)
1650 Adjustments
As you open and close the gates, you will notice that the slave side moves
Tip: By welding stop tabs on the top and bottom of the master side, the two gates may now be adjusted so the slave gate will close against the stop tabs of the master gate and create enough tension to prevent gates from moving back and forth.
