Position the operator rear mount between post pivot bracket.

3/8” x 3-1/2” Clevis Pin

Place a 1/2” bushing above the rear mount and a 3/16” bushing

 

under the rear mount. Align the hole in rear mount, bushings

 

and post pivot bracket and secure with the 3 1/2” clevis pin

3/8” x 1/2” Delrin Bushing

and hair pin clip.

hairpin clip.

 

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 c-clamps or another type of clamp.

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.
