Install the operator, by taking the following steps:
1. Assess any limitations in the surrounding area such as
curbs, walls, or bushes.
2. Before placing the operator on the pad, measure and
mark the output shaft center on the concrete pad by
selecting the X and Y dimensions. Refer to Figure 1-3
and Figure 1-5.
3. Set the operator base on the concrete pad and use it as a
template. Position the operator base so the center mark
on the pad aligns with the small hole in the base plate.
Mark the fastener and conduit cutouts. Remove the
operator from the concrete pad and drill the holes for
the concrete anchors.
4. Mount the operator with four ½ x 3½-inch concrete
anchors as shown in Figure 1-6.
