Installation Overview for Pull-To-Open Gates
PUSH-TO-OPEN installation instructions begin on page 31.
The diagram shown below is an example of a pull-to-open installation on a chain link fence and single gate.
Mounting the opener on a masonry column requires special procedures; see
Column Installation Information
on page 37 if you intend to mount the opener on a column. Furthermore, if you have a push-to-open gate, you
will need to purchase a
push-to-open bracket [FM148] to properly configure your system. See Push to Open
Installation on page 31 before proceeding.

TIP:
Turning the pivot
bracket over gives more
hole alignment options
for the post pivot bracket
assembly. You can also
move the entire post
pivot bracket assembly
to different positions
on the gate post to
help achieve the proper
clearances.
