1. A1 to A2 = 44.5 inches.
2. 44.5 divided by 2 = 22.25 inches (Crank Arm length).
3. A1 to C = 62.25 inches.
4. 62.25 minus 22.25 = 40 inches (Connecting Arm length).

NOTE: When opening gates greater than 90° (105° in the example above), more side room is
required. The length of the drive and connecting arms stated in the drawing are measured
from the pivot point to the pivot point of each arm – it is not the overall length of the arm.
1.
Determine where the gate-bracket will be attached to the gate. If the gate will be
opened greater than 90°, the gate bracket should be mounted no farther than 28
inches from the center of the hinge point.
2.
Once the gate bracket has been attached to the gate, close the gate fully and mark a
point on the ground directly under the center of the mounting bracket. Label this
point A1.
3.
Swing the gate to the desired open position. This can be less than 90°, 90°, or
greater than 90° (max 120°). With the gate in the desired position, mark a second
point on the ground directly under the center of the gate bracket. Label this point A2.
4.
Determine where the operator output shaft will be placed. With a string, connect
points A1 and A2 and extend this line beyond A2. The operator shaft must be
positioned on the A1-A2 line.
5.
Install the mounting plate / pipe assembly (or concrete base plate) in accordance with
instructions detailed in this manual. Be sure that the mounting plate/ pipe assembly,
or concrete base plate, and pad is located so that the operator output shaft will
intersect the A1-A2 line at the point that you have selected.
NOTE: Mount the plate / pipe assembly so that the operator will be square to
the fence line and not parallel to the gate when it is in the open position
.
