32 MM562 Installation Instructions
PUSH-TO-OPEN gates open out from the property (opener arms extend
to open). A Push-To-Open Bracket is required for this type of installation. In
a Push-To-Open installation, the opener is installed while the gate is in the
closed position and the opener fully retracted.
Swinging gates MUST NEVER open into public access areas!
Step 1
Insert the
3
/8" x 2" bolt through the center hole of the post brackets and post
pivot bracket as shown. Fasten a
3
/8" lock washer,
3
/8" washer and
3
/8" nut
on the end of the bolt. DO NOT over tighten the nut because the post pivot
bracket will have to be adjusted later.
Step 2
Attach post bracket assembly and gate bracket to the opener with the clevis
pins and bushings. Secure the clevis pins with hairpin clips.
Step 3
With the gate in the closed position (up to 110º from its open 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.
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 CLEARANCE diagram on the next page. 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.
