position), and the opener fully retracted, adjust the post bracket
assembly and 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.
Push to Open Installation
Swinging gates MUST NEVER open into public access areas!
"Push-to-Open" gates open out from the property.
Push-to-Open Brackets are required for this type of
installation (see Accessory Catalog). If you have pull-to-open
gates (gate opens into the property), return to page 13;
In a PUSH-TO-OPEN installation the opener is installed while the
gate is in the closed position and the opener fully retracted .

Step 2
After verifying that you have the best
position for the post pivot bracket, 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.
IMPORTANT: If you loosened the clamp on
the post bracket to achieve the optimum
position, tighten it in its new position and
recheck the gate bracket with the gate in
the open position (move the gate bracket
and re-clamp it if necessary).
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.
