Disconnect Power from the gate operator!

The tail end of the gate should extend approximately 24" beyond the edge of the driveway. If this is not the case, an extension tail will need to be added to the gate. This will give room for the gate operator. Make the extension tail 24" X 24" as shown. If the gate has not yet been fabricated, add 24" to the length of the gate.

If no concrete surface exists to attach the gate operator to, make a cement pad 16" X 24" X 10". The cement pad should be at least 6" in depth and extend below frost line. If it is desirable to elevate the gate operator it may protrude 4" or more above ground as shown. Place the shortest pad edge even with the driveway edge. Place the longer edge of the pad 1" away from the gate.

If the steel mounting stand will be used, place the shortest edge of the stand 4" from the driveway edge and place the longest edge of the stand 4-1/2" away from the gate. The top of the steel stand may sit on the ground or the stand may be elevated to keep the operator above snow, flooding etc. Make a post hole and cement the stand in place, making sure the stand is level and square to the gate.
