Check Clearance
Step 7
Open the gate to the desired open position. Position the operator so that the gate bracket rests against the gate along the level scribed line. Check the clearance between the operator and the gate. The operator should only make contact with the gate at the gate bracket. There should be a minimum clearance of 2” between the widest part of the operator arm and the gate.
When you have achieved the best position for the post pivot bracket in the open position, insert the 3/8” x 3 3/4” bolt and
3/8” flat washer through the aligned holes of the post bracket and post pivot bracket to hold it in place.
Clamp the gate bracket to the gate using
IMPORTANT: While determining the position of the post pivot bracket, be sure that the position allows for minimum 2“ of clearance between the gate and the operator in both the open and closed positions. This clearance will give the operator the most efficient leverage point for opening and closing the gate and, more importantly, provides the least possible pinch area.
