STEP 4c Gate Bracket Installation
(PUSH to Open Only)
The actuator is adjusted to the fully retracted or closed position from the factory. Once the actuator is
connected to the hinge mount tube, swing the gate to the desired closed position and block in place to secure
the gate. Move the actuator around so that the gate bracket can be attached to the gate. Ensure the gate is in
the fully closed position.
Clamp the gate bracket to the gate (verify actuator is level before welding). Be sure that your gate does not
move while clamping. The location of the gate will set your close position. The actuator cylinder will be
level if all steps were performed accurately. Weld gate bracket to the gate and verify actuator is still level.

IMPORTANT:
The gate bracket must be welded in an area that can
withstand the full force of the gate. Do not simply weld
across a few pickets or bending of the pickets will occur.
Add a cross bar if necessary or weld the bracket to the
gate frame.
