Control Box and Electrical Components
ALSO, YOU WILL NEED THESE ITEMS BEFORE YOU BEGIN THE INSTALLATION (Some of these items can
be found in the Accessory Catalog on page 38):
• Additional low voltage wire will be needed; length depends upon the distance between the transformer power
supply and the control box. See Powering the System on page 25, and the Accessory Catalog.
• If your dual gate is more than 1000' away from an ac power source you will need to use at least two Mighty Mule
Solar Panels to trickle charge the battery. See the Accessory Catalog.
• Depending on the type of gate, a horizontal cross member or mounting plate may be needed to mount the front
of the opener and gate bracket to the gate. See page 10, step 2; page 14, step 10.
• If your fence posts are made of wood and are less than 6" in diameter or 6" square, see page 11.
• If you have thin walled tube or panel gates, see Recommended Reinforcement Examples on page 11.
• If your fence posts are larger than 6" in diameter you will need threaded rods or carriage bolts longer than 8".
See page 14.
• Both gate leaves need a stop post for the open position. These posts are not provided. See Installation of the
Positive Stops on page 16 for more information.
