Linear SLC Mounting Pad Installation, Gate Preparation, Mounting Pad Specifications, Gate Post

Mounting Pad Installation

The gate operator mounts bolted to a custom poured concrete mounting pad.. The pad supports the operator and prevents it from moving during operation..

An optional post mount kit is also available (P/N 2120-483) which allows installation without a concrete mounting pad..

Gate Preparation

Before installing the pad, make sure the gate rolls or slides freely, and that all exposed rollers are properly covered.. The gate must be covered with fabric with openings no larger than 2-1/4” in size, to a minimum height of 48” above ground level.. On picket-style gates, if pickets are spaced less than 2-1/4” apart, mesh is optional..

  WARNING 

The operator is intended for installation only on gates used for vehicles. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate access opening. The pedestrian access opening shall be designed to promote pedestrian usage. Locate the gate such that persons will not come into contact with the vehicular gate during the entire path of travel of the vehicular gate.

  WARNING 

The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is supplied between the gate and adjacent structures when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment. Swing gates shall not open into public areas.

Mounting Pad Specifications

Recommended pad size is 21” x 21” minimum.. Pad depth should be set according to local codes and at least as deep as frost line.. 5/8” J-bolts may be set into the concrete before it sets following the dimensions shown, or drilled after the concrete sets..
