Operator Preparation
Vent Plug Installation
In order to keep gear oil from spilling out during shipping,
gear reducers used in gate operators have either a solid
plug, or a sealed vent plug, installed at the factory.
For operators with a solid plug, replace the solid plug with
the vent plug provided (see Figure 3).
With the vent plug installed, remove the vent plug’s breather
pin to allow the gear box to vent (see Figure 3).
Gate Arm Installation
The gate arm connects the operator to the gate. The arm
supplied can be used in left-hand or right-hand installations.

are for reference only. For the actual part numbers, refer

Crank Extension Installation
See Figure 4. Place the crank extension (2) on the operator
crank (1) as shown. Slide a black spacer (3) into the crank
and hold it while sliding a 1/2-13 x 1-3/4” hex head bolt (4)
through the extension and crank. Assemble with a 1/2” fl at
washer and locknut and tighten. Slide the clevis pin (5) and
a 1/2” fl at washer through the crank and the extension. Slide
another 1/2” fl at washer over the end of the pin and lock it
with either a disconnect pull pin or with an optional pad lock
through the pin.
Overtravel Stop Installation
See Figure 5. Slide a 1/2” lock washer and fl at washer onto
the 1/2-13 x 2 1/2” hex head bolt (10). Add a nylon washer
(8), then slide the bolt through the crank extension (2) and
hold in place Next, insert the yellow-plated pivot spacer
(11) into the crank extension, add a nylon washer (8) and
place the offset spacer (7) on top of the nylon washer. Add
a nylon washer (8) to the top of the offset spacer (7) and
add the silver zinc-fi nish overtravel stop spacer (18). Slide
the overtravel stop bracket (9) over the silver zinc-fi nish
spacer and add the last nylon washer (8) above the bracket.
Carefully screw the bolt assembly into the aluminum gate
clamp (6) until the lock washer has been fully compressed.
The overtravel stop and crank extension should fl oat freely,
without binding, when it is fully assembled. Tighten set
screw (19) to further lock hex bolt (10) in place.
