Step 8

Remove the clevis pin from the front mount and while supporting the gate operator, swing the gate and gate operator to the closed position. With the gate and gate operator in the closed position check the clearance and be sure that the gate operator is not binding at the post pivot bracket.

If you don’t have 2” clearance or the gate operator is binding on the post pivot bracket, remove the bolt in the post bracket and readjust the pivot bracket until you can achieve the proper clearance.

With the post pivot bracket in the optimum position for clearance and freedom of movement, replace the bolt in a post bracket adjustment hole and secure with washer and lock nut. Return the operator to the open position and reattach the gate bracket. Recheck the gate operator level and clearance in the open position. Adjustment of the gate bracket will be necessary if the post bracket was moved. After verifying clearance, make sure the gate bracket is clamped securely.

Step 9

Detach the front mount from the gate bracket. Check that the gate bracket holes are centered over the scribe line. Mark the gate in the center of the gate bracket holes. Remove the gate bracket and drill the 1/2” holes through the gate cross member and attach the gate bracket using the 1/2” x 2 3/4” bolts, washers and lock nuts.

Attach Operator

Step 10

Make sure the gate is in the open position and the operator arm is fully retracted. Attach the operator to the securely bolted post bracket assembly and gate bracket using clevis pins, bushings, and hairpin clips, or optional Pin Lock [FM345]. Verify that the operator is level, bolts are tight, and adjust the post bracket assembly if necessary.
