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.

Bracket should attach 52” - 54” from the center of the hinge.

1/2” x 3” Bolt

1/2” Washer (2 places)

As you open and close the gates, you will notice that the slave side moves 2-3 seconds slower than the master.

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.
