IMPORTANT: While determining the mounting point for the post pivot bracket assembly, be sure that the position
allows for minimum 2 inches of clearance between the gate and the opener in both the open and closed positions,
as shown in the diagrams below. This clearance will give the opener the most efficient leverage point for opening
and closing the gate and more importantly provides the least possible pinch area.
Step 4
When you feel that you have the best position for the post pivot bracket in the closed position, insert the 5/16" bolt
through the aligned holes of the post bracket and post pivot bracket to hold it in place. Remove the clevis pin from
the front mount and while supporting the gate opener, swing the gate and gate opener to the open position. With
the gate and gate opener in the open position check the clearance and be sure that the gate opener is not binding
at the post pivot bracket.
If you don't have 2 inches of clearance or the gate opener is binding on the post pivot bracket, remove the 5/16"
bolt and readjust the pivot bracket until you can achieve these important clearances.
With the post pivot bracket in the optimum position for clearance and freedom of movement, reattach the opener
to the gate bracket in the open position and recheck the gate opener level and make sure the brackets are
clamped securely.
