Determining The Mounting Position
of The Post Bracket Assembly
Step PTO-1:
With the gate closed, adjust the post bracket assembly and the gate
bracket until the opener is level. While holding the opener level,
use C-clamps to temporarily keep the post bracket assembly and
gate bracket in their respective positions on the fence post and gate.

Extended Position (gate open)
Step PTO-2:
While gate is closed, stand inside the property next to the
fence post. Using the setback template (insert) measure
4
1 / 2 " back from center of gate hinge, then make a 90º angle
toward the gate and measure 4 1 / 2 ". This is the point where
either one of the holes at the end of the post pivot bracket
should be. You will need to rotate the post pivot bracket or
the entire post bracket assembly to align it with the square
angle of the template.
NOTE: If you move the post pivot bracket, be sure that one
of the post bracket holes is aligned with the rest of the
assembly. Flipping the Post Pivot Bracket gives more
position options.
After verifying that you have complied with the
4
1 / 2 " x 4 1 / 2" setback, insert the 5 / 16 " x 1 3 / 4 " bolt through
the aligned holes of the post bracket and post pivot bracket
and fasten it with the
5 / 16 " washer and nut.
Round Post
Post Pivot Bracket can be moved to
achieve the 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" dimensions.
Push to Open Installation
Swinging gates shall not open into public access areas!
A "Push-to-Open" gate opens out from the property.
A Push-to-Open Bracket is required for this type of
installation (see Accessory Catalog). If you have a pull-to-open
gate (gate opens into the property), return to page 13; step 3.
The opener is installed while the gate is in the closed position.
