IMPORTANT IMPORTANT SAFETY SAFETY INFORMATION INFORMATION WARNING - Not following these instructions may cause severe injury or death to persons. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING – To reduce the risk of severe injury or death: 1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. 2. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote control away from children. 3. Always keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE. 4. Test the gate operator monthly.
IMPORTANT IMPORTANT SAFETY SAFETY INFORMATION INFORMATION WARNING - Not following these instructions may cause severe injury or death to persons. IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Continued 6. Controls intended for user activation must be located at least six feet (6’) away from any moving part of the gate and where the user is prevented from reaching over, under, around or through the gate to operate the controls.
IMPORTANT IMPORTANT SAFETY SAFETY INFORMATION INFORMATION WARNING - Not following these instructions may cause severe injury or death to persons. MAINTENANCE Remove the Power Harness from the Control Board (refer to page 17) • Clean and lubricate the turning pins and gate hinges using the recommended lubricant. • Check that all mounting hardware of the gate operator is properly tighten. • Ensure that the gate moves freely. • Check for corroded parts and replace if necessary.
IMPORTANT IMPORTANT SAFETY SAFETY INFORMATION INFORMATION CAUTION: To Reduce the Risk of Fire or Injury to Persons a) Use only the following type and size of battery(ies): Yuasa NP7-12 b) Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in fire. The cells may explode. Check with local codes for possible disposal instructions. c) Do not open or mutalate the battery(ies). Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic fi swallowed.

PLAN PLAN OF OF INSTALLATION INSTALLATION The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is supplied between the gate and adjacent structures when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment. Swinging gates shall not open into public access areas. 13.46" 13.46" 2.56" 2.56" Gate in Closed Position Outside Gate in Closed Position 16.61" Gate Support Column Gate in Open Position 16.
INSTALLATION INSTALLATION DETAILS DETAILS STEP 5 Prepare for the wiring using conduit suited for underground application. Route the the conduit to an above ground junction box. STEP 6 Upper Hinge Must Line Up with Hinge in Foundation Casing Electrical Junction Box Foundation Casing Must Be Set Level In Both Directions Electrical Conduit Positive Drainage Run a flexible drain pipe from the Gate Operator to an area drain.
GATE GATE OPERATOR OPERATOR INSTALLATION INSTALLATION STEP 9 Mount the Gearmotor on the chassis and secure it using the provided hardware. Verify the proper direction of the Gearhead depending on the opening direction. Opens Left Opens Right STEP 10 Install the Primary Drive Arm, lining up its slot with the flats on the Gearhead. STEP 11 Insert the Ball Bearing into the Intermediate Drive Arm, lubricating it with silicone-based grease.
GATE GATE OPERATOR OPERATOR INSTALLATION INSTALLATION STEP 13 Install the Gate Attachment to the Intermediate Drive Arm. Mount the gate on the hinge(s) and verify its alignment with the hinge(s) and Articulation Point. Weld the gate to the Gate Attachment. STEP 14 Lock the Manual Release Mechanism (so that the gate is engaged with the Gate Operator). STEP 15 Route the wires for the Gearmotor through the conduit already in place. Connect the two wires to the wires coming from the Control Board.
GATE GATE OPERATOR OPERATOR INSTALLATION INSTALLATION Limit Setup Procedure STEP 16 Primary Drive Arm To adjust the closed position stop: Loosen both nuts on the Closed Position Adjustment Bolt. Closed Position Adjustment Bolt Adjust the Bolt to stop the gate’s closing at the proper position: • Turning the Bolt clockwise allows the gate to close later. • Turning the bolt counterclockwise causes the gate to close earlier.
GATE GATE OPERATOR OPERATOR INSTALLATION INSTALLATION Opening/Closing Setup: To have the gate operator slow down prior to reaching its limits use the following steps: 1. Setup the positive stops manually to obtain the desired open and closed positions. 2. Allow the gate operator to run a full open Slow and close cycle (from stop to stop) without interruption. Fast 3. Allow a complete cycle from limit to limit so the operator recognizes the limit settings.
CONTROL CONTROL BOX BOX INSTALLATION INSTALLATION WARNING - If the control box is not mounted properly it may fall, causing damage and/or injury. The control box weight is approximately 40 lbs. Be sure that the substrate being mounted to and the fasteners being used are appropriate to support the weight of the control box. 1. Remove the control board mounting plate. The plate is held in the box by four screws. 17" 2. Position the control box in the desired place and mark the mounting holes.
ELECTRICAL ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION INSTALLATION Caution – Do not connect the power harness to the board until the installation is ready for verification. Power Harness The X-9 Gate Operator requires a single phase AC line to operate and charge the batteries. 1. Turn off the main switch or breaker for the power line being used. 2. Move the selector switch on the Incoming Voltage Selector to the proper position (115 for 110 to 120VAC, 230 for 200 to 240VAC). 3.
