• 12 Volt automotive or marine battery and a weather
proof case.
• Low voltage wire will be needed to run from the
transformer to the control box; length depends upon the
distance between the transformer power supply and the
control box. See Transformer Wiring Installation on page
5, and the accessory catalog.
• PVC conduit.
• If your gate is more than 1000' away from an ac power
source you will need to use at least one Mighty Mule
5 watt solar panel to trickle charge the battery. See the
accessory catalog (Do not use both transformer and
solar).
• Depending on the type of gate, a horizontal cross
member or mounting plate may be needed to mount
the front of the opener and gate bracket to the gate. See
Gate Bracket Mounting Examples after Step 3 of “Gate
Operator Installation.”
• Surge protection for transformer.
• Some types of installations require u-bolts.
• Additional washers or a metal plate may be needed
for wooden post.
• Weatherproof cover for outdoor outlet.
• If post is more than 6”, bolts longer than 8”
are needed.
