6. Secure the operator to the rear bracket using the
appropriate bolt supplied, as indicated in Figure 15.
7. Bring the leaf of the gate to the close position.
8. Bring the operator, together with the related bracket,
alongside the leaf.
9. Check that the operator is horizontal using a level,
as indicated in Figure 16, and temporarily secure it
with clamps or two welding points.
The axis of the securing holes of the front bracket must
be aligned with the axis of the securing holes of the rear
bracket, see Figure 17.
If the structure of the gate does not permit reliable
mounting, the structure of the gate must be reinforced
to provide a solid supporting base.
10. Prepare the operator for manual operation, see
Section 5, and move the leaf manually, checking that
it completes the entire opening operation required,
stopping at the mechanical stops.
If, during the test, the operator hits the leaf of the
gate, value E may be increased, see Figure 4, up to
a maximum of 4 ½ inches, using appropriate spacers
placed between the front bracket and the leaf of the
gate.
11. Perform any corrective measures necessary and
repeat the procedures from Step 9.
12. Permanently secure the front bracket, using a
suitable securing system as indicated in Figure 18.
If it is decided to weld the bracket directly onto the
leaf, the operator must be released temporarily. Wait
for the bracket to cool before reattaching the
operator.

3.5 WIRING THE OPERATOR
The operator is supplied with the cable already connected.
If the cable has to be replaced, install a cable rated for
outdoor use.
3.6 MECHANICAL STOPS
The S418 operator is supplied with mechanical stops
on opening and closing as standard. These may be
used in place of mechanical stop-points for the leaf. For
adjustment of the stops, proceed as follows:
3.6.1 Mechanical Stop at Opening
1. Prepare the operator for manual operation, see
Section 5.
2. Manually move the leaf into its opening position.
3. Loosen the securing screw, Figure 19 Ref. 1. The
screw does not need to be completely removed.
