UNPACKING CHECKLIST 
PLACING THE OPERATOR 
The recommended procedure for attaching the operator to the concrete 
pad is first to locate and drill the hole for the right rear redhead.  
Review Figure 6, Page 6. After placing the redhead in the hole, remove 
the cover and lower the operator over the redhead. Make sure the two 
rear mounting holes on the operator are exactly the same distance from 
the gate. (Improper alignment of the operator will cause premature 
chain and idler sprocket failure.) With the operator properly aligned 
with the gate, drill the remaining three holes with the operator in place. 
 Before inserting the remaining redhead bolts, make sure the operator is 
sitting level. If any corners of the operator are resting above the pad, 
slide flat washers under the operator and insert the redhead through the 
washers. Place the flat washers, lock washers and nuts on the redhead 
bolts and tighten down the operator securely. 
ELECTRICAL HOOKUP 
The operator requires a 3-wire, 115 VAC electrical hook-up for proper 
operation. Ideally, the conduit containing the hook-up wires should exit 
the concrete pad under the operator. Run flexible conduit from the 
point where the conduit exits the pad and attach it to the bottom of the 
junction box at the front of the frame. Review Figure 7, Page 7. 
If the hook-up exits the pad external to the operator, there's a 7/8" 
diameter hole in each side of the frame near the front of the operator.  
Review Figure 7, Page 7. 
Remove the junction box face plate. Using the wire nuts provided, 
attach the three lead wires to the electrical hook-up wires in the 
following manner: 
1. The BLACK wire attaches to the 115 VAC HOT wire. 
2. The WHITE wire to the 115 VAC NEUTRAL wire. 
3. The GREEN wire to the GROUND wire.
