1.4 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 “Open to the Inside” or “Open to the Outside”(See previous 2 pages).
The brackets need to be fabricated before the arm can be installed. Brackets will vary in size depending on the opening direction
of the gate and the thickness of the wall the actuator arm will attach to. They can be attached to the wall and gate by welding
and/or mechanically, depending on the type wall and gate. The brackets must be perpendicular to the wall and/or gate and
horizontally level. Make sure the brackets will be VERY secure when fastened to the wall and gate.
If the 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 the tack welding. Remove arm before completely welding around the brackets. Make sure that
brackets and actuator arm are level when tack welding them! The arm will not operate properly if out of level. Make sure
powered shaft is not bottomed out. Completely weld around brackets.
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.
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!
