● Low voltage wire will be needed to run from the
transformer to the control box; length depends
upon the distance between the transformer power
supply and the control box. See Transformer/Solar
and Battery Power Installation on page 16, and
the accessory catalog.

● If you have thin-walled tube or panel gates, see
Reinforcing Gates for the Gate Brackets, next
page.
● Depending on the type of gate, a horizontal cross
member or mounting plate may be needed to
mount the front of the operator and gate bracket to
the gate. See the Reinforcing Gates for the Gate
Brackets examples, next page.

ASSESSING THE GATE FOR INSTALLATION
Your gate operator can be mounted to a variety of gate types. This section shows some of the most common, along with the
reinforcement methods recommended prior to or while mounting your gate operator.
Reinforcing Gates for the Gate Brackets
We recommend using a mufer clamp, wood, or metal, to reinforce thin-walled tube gates, or wood to reinforce panel gates as
shown. These reinforcement methods will prevent damage to the opener and gate. Additional hardware may be needed depending
on the installation. Additional hardware necessary but not included.
