Mounting Actuator Arm
Gate must be in good working condition before the actuator arm can be installed. Determine what direction the actuator arm
will open the gate: “Opening to the Outside” or “Opening to the Inside” Installation (See 2 previous pages).
If brackets are going to be welded to the gate and/or wall, only tack weld the brackets with the arm attached. Protect the arm
from welding sparks during tack welding. Remove arm before completely welding around the brackets. Make sure the
brackets are level when tack welding them! The arm will not operate properly if not level.
It is very important that the powered shaft is not fully extended when installed on the gate (bottoming out). This will damage the
arm. To prevent this, manually release the arm and fully extend the powered shaft. Rotate it back two full turns before
installing the arm.
This illustrates when the gate is “Opening to the Inside” Only.
Front bracket and operator
always stay in a fixed location.
Rear bracket is adjusted for
gate hinge inset.
A support bar that spans the entire length of the gate must be installed to keep the pickets from bending. Do not mount the
front bracket directly to gate pickets!
