Step 1 — Prepare for Installation
• The gate opener includes two Post Pivot Brackets. The small bracket is for a Pull-to-Open
installation and the large bracket is for a Push-to-Open installation. Make sure that you use
the appropriate bracket.
• In some cases, the installation instructions for a Pull-to-Open installation and a Push-to-Open
installation are different. Make sure that you are following the appropriate instructions.
• One gate is the Primary gate and the other gate is the Secondary gate. The primary gate
opens first and closes last. It is recommended that the Control Box be mounted on the side of
the Primary gate so as to ensure proper installation and operation of an optional electric lock.
• The gate opener is mounted to the gate and to the gate post. Both round and square posts
can be used because the Post Brackets are curved. When mounting the Post Brackets, use
bolts long enough to pass through the entire post. Four M10 x 200 bolts are included. If these
are not long enough, you will need to purchase new bolts. Concrete anchors are not provided.
When mounting the Post Brackets to wooden posts, a larger-size washer or metal plate
should be used between the bolts and the wooden post to ensure the stability of the fastening
hardware. If the post is smaller than 6" diameter or square, it should be made of metal and set
in cement to ensure its stability. The following illustration shows several options for mounting
the Post Bracket.
CAUTION: Ensure the post or wall the gate opener bracket will attach to is large
enough to handle the load of the gate. This post will be under constant stress when
opening and closing. Do not attach the bracket to a weak or unsteady post.
Step 2 — Install the Gate Opener on the Gate
Note: Perform Step 2 for each gate opener.
The position of the Post Bracket is important because it determines the efficiency and leverage
of the gate opener. The following illustrations and tables are required to determine the proper
mounting position for the Post Bracket. The tables show the maximum opening angle of the
gate for a given A and B. For example, if A is 6" and B is 8", the maximum opening angle of the
gate is 110°. Note: Distance A must be at least 3-1/8".
Pull-to-Open Installation — Gate is Closed (Push-Pull-Rod is extended)
Push-to-Open Installation — Gate is Closed (Push-Pull-Rod is retracted)
