Preparing the Gate
Step 1:
The gate must be in proper working order, plumb, level and swinging freely on its hinges. Do not use wheels on gate. The
gate must move smoothly and evenly throughout its swing, without binding or dragging on the ground. Gates over 250 lb.
should have ball bearing hinges with grease fittings.
Step 2:
The fence post must be strongly secured in the ground with
concrete so it will not twist or flex when the operator is
powered. It is important to position the operator near the
midline of the gate to keep the gate from twisting and
flexing. The addition of a horizontal or vertical cross
member may be necessary (if one is not already in place)
to provide a stable area to which the gate bracket can be
secured.
For the operator to perform properly, Steps 1 & 2 must
be complete before you go any further with the installa-
tion.
Pull-to-Open Single Gate (gate opens into the property)
The diagram below is an example of a single leaf, pull-to-open installation on an ornamental iron gate. If you are installing a
Push-to-Open (gate opens out from the property) system, see page 31. Or, if you are mounting the operator on a masonry
column, please refer to page 36 before proceeding.
