Install the Operator

Install the Post Bracket Assembly

The post bracket is designed to work on a flat post. Posts must be at least 6” square in order to bolt the post bracket. When using bolts to mount the post bracket, the bolts must completely penetrate the post.

• The best method of attaching the post bracket to a metal post is welding.

• If your post exceeds 8”, it will be necessary to use hex head bolts longer than those supplied.

• Round wood posts (no smaller than 8” diameter) may be notched to create a flat surface for attaching the post bracket.

• Wood posts will require a metal plate (not provided) between the nuts and post to prevent the operator from pulling the bolts and washers through the wood.

•A post smaller than 6” in diameter should be made of metal instead of wood so that it will remain stable while the operator is moving the gate.

•Masonry columns will require masonry anchors/ hardware (not provided).
