GTO SL-1000B, SL-2000B Determining the Mounting Position and Mounting the Operator

DETERMINING THE MOUNTING POSITION AND MOUNTING THE OPERATOR

STEP 2
	Illustration B
Install chain brackets at each end of the gate on the inside
(operator side) of the gate (see Overview Illustration, page. 12).
Position the tops of chain brackets no more than 6” above the	String
bottom corners of the gate frame and secure with U-bolts (see
Illustration B). The chain brackets will work on gate frames	Quick Release Pin
13/4” to 21/2” in diameter or square tube gates. The U-bolts	Chain Bracket
provided will work on 2” diameter pipe gate frames.

		the operator will be mounted
		STEP 3
		Insert a quick release pin into the center slot in each of the chain brackets
Quick Release Pin	String	(see Illustration C). Tie a string to the end of each quick release pin so
		that the string is tight between the two chain brackets (the string will
		be used to align the operator). The string should be 7”-10” from the
		ground (see Illustration B). The chain brackets can be adjusted up or
		down on the gate to achieve the proper height. The goal here is to set
		the height of the operator so that when the housing is in place it will
		clear the ground by 1” to 4” (see Illustration E).
