INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
POWER GATE OPTION (Refer to Figures 16 & 17)
These instructions are to be used in conjunction with the previous instructions for non-
power vertical acting gates. The major differences are as follows:
• The location of the guide channel
• The use of chain and sprockets for lifting the gate panel
• The configuration of the post tops to accommodate the drive shaft.
Gates smaller than eight feet in overall width can be assembled on the floor in front of
the lift and raised as a single unit as with the non-powered gate.
NOTE: Prior to standing the gate posts, make sure that the lift chains are secured to
prevent them from falling into the gate post tube.
1. Position the gate posts in front of the lift with the guide channels down and the
channel openings toward each other.
2. Attach the header to the gate posts.
NOTE: One or more center support bearings are provided depending on the gate
width. Generally gates less than eight feet overall will only have one center support
bearing.
3. Attach the flange bearing side plate to the outside of the gate post. The flange
bearing should be mounted away from the chain sprocket.
4. Mount the motor and reducer to the mounting plate with ¼”-20 UNC screws that
have been supplied.
5. Position the gate panel in the guide channels and slide it to the top of the gate posts.
The top of the gate panel has a chain attachment lug welded to the top of the panel.
Secure the gate panel in the upper position while lifting into position.
