Using an Existing Pad
In many applications, SwingSmart may be a replacement operator for an existing gate system. Make sure the
pad is level and inspect the pad for:
•
Compliance with local building codes.
• Appropriate distance from the gate. Refer to Figure 1-3.
• Appropriate dimensions for SwingSmart installation.
• Durability.
To use an existing pad, take the following steps:
1. Remove any existing equipment from the pad.
2. Measure the pad to ensure it is sized properly for SwingSmart.
3. Mark the center shaft location.
4. Follow the steps in
Mounting the Operator .
CAUTION
Consider positioning the operator so existing conduit exits through the cutout in the Swing-
Smart base plate. Cutting small holes in the base plate for pre-existing conduit is permissible,
but not recommended because it can impair the strength of the chassis and void the Limited
Warranty.
