Mounting the Opener

Step 11

Attach the opener to the securely bolted post bracket assembly and gate bracket using clevis pins, bushings, and hairpin clips, or optional Pin Locks (see Accessory Catalog). Verify that the opener is level and adjust the post bracket assembly if necessary.

Installation of the Closed Position Stop

The Mighty Mule® Gate Opener firmly holds the gate in the closed position using the positive stop plate. The positive stop helps stabilize the gate leaf in the closed position. To further enhance the stability and security of your gate, install the optional Mighty Mule® Automatic Gate Lock (see Accessory Catalog).

Step 12

Remove hairpin, clevis pin, and washer from front mount and close the gate (remember to support opener). Fasten the closed position stop plate to the end of the gate frame on the gate centerline, but do not tighten it completely. Slide the stop plate toward the fence post until they touch (see illustration). Once you have moved the stop plate to the correct position, tighten its hardware completely.

Use the appropriate hardware for your type of gate (use U-bolts if you have a tube or chain link gate; wood or lag screws for wood gates; etc.). This hardware is not provided.
