1.3 Mounting Options
Pad mounting can be used when the operator will be installed using either the front or rear mounting
position. If the operator is to be center mounted, the post mounting method must be used.

1. Construct a form for the mounting pad
according to the specifications shown in
figure 6. Be sure to level the top edge of
the form and that the top of the form is a
minimum of four (4) inches above ground
level. We suggest that you contact the
local building department to determine
the required depth of the pad since soil
conditions and code requirements vary
from city to city.
2. Set conduits, reinforcing bars and/or wire
mesh if required. The number of conduits
is determined by the application
requirements. We suggest using a
minimum of four (4) conduits. 1-High
voltage power lines; 2-Low voltage
control lines; 3-Loop lead-in wires (open
loop); 4-Loop lead-in wires (reverse
loops). See SECTION 2. Set additional
conduits as required for your application.
NOTE: If conduits are not set in the pad,
they can be routed to a J box where
connections to the operator can be made
after it is installed. There are three (3) ½-
inch knockouts and one (1) ¾-inch
knockout on each side of the operator for
this purpose.
3. Mix the concrete according to the
manufacturers instructions. Pour the
mixture into the form and tamp. Level
and finish the surface after pouring is
complete. Do not set anchor bolts in the
concrete. Sleeve anchors should be
used to secure the operator to the pad.
This allows greater flexibility in
positioning the operator on the pad.

4. Allow the pad to cure for 48 hours before
removing the forms or mounting the
operator.
