GATE BRACKET AND CHAIN ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Numbered items in these drawings are for instructional reference only. For actual part numbers, go to the parts lists in the back of this booklet.

Assemble a gate bracket (1) to the front edge of the gate, using two U-bolts (2), and mounting hardware (3). Before tightening down completely, be sure the bracket is parallel to the gate. Tighten the U-bolt hardware the rest of the way, then screw the square head bolts (4) into the threaded holes in the gate plate until they bottom out against the gate. These will help keep the bracket from twisting on the pipe.

Slide a threaded chain pin (5) through the bracket as shown, with spring (6), flat washer (10), and two hex nuts (7). At- tach one end of the drive chain (8) to the chain pin using master link (9) and begin unrolling it toward the operator.

Remove the rain cover from the back of the slide gate opera- tor. Carefully thread the drive chain under the first idler, over the drive sprocket, and then under the last idler. Make sure you feed most of the chain through the sprockets for attach- ing to the back end of the gate.

Assemble the other gate bracket on the rear edge of the gate, using the same process as you did with the front gate bracket. Once this is done, take the other chain pin, spring and jam nuts and assemble with the end of drive chain and the other master link.

At this point you should be able to adjust the chain tension by tightening the jam nuts on each end. Approximately 1/4” to 3/8” of slack per foot of drive chain is acceptable. Make sure the chain does not drag on the ground, across the gate rollers or the idler frame of the operator.

Additional mounting holes have been provided in the gate bracket for installer convenience.
