SITE PREPARATION

A. LOCATION AND LAYOUT

Figure 1. Front Drive.

Figure 2. Rear Drive.

Figure 3. Mid Drive.

1. Always install the gate operator on the inside of the fence line, never on the public side of the fence.
2. All manual controls and activating devices should be mounted at least 6 ft. away from the gate to

provide safety.

3. Allow enough clearance around the gate and the gate operator for installation and service.
4. The gate operator can provide front and rear drive configuration (Figures 1 and 2), and mid drive

can be used if the operator is post mounted and clearance is provided under the operator for the
chain anchor on the gate (Figure 3).

5. Center idlers may be required on the Mid Drive and Rear Drive configurations to keep the chain

from dragging on itself.

NOTE: Master links and tension adjusters are provided with the gate operator.
