4.1 Mounting the Opener

1. Assemble the mounting bracket using the M6 screws and gaskets.
2. Position the gate opener unit on the assembled bracket.
3. Tighten the M8 screws and upper/lower gaskets with four screws in two directions to secure the motor to the bracket.
4. Place the assembled unit near the gate, ensuring the gear aligns with the gate's chain path.
5. Mark the positions for drilling the bracket screw holes on the ground.
6. Drill holes using an M10 chopping bit and secure the bracket to the ground with the provided expansion bolts.

4.2 Chain Installation

1. Unscrew the chain buckle from the chain and install the elastic adjusting screw.
2. Attach the L-type bracket base to one end of the chain, ensuring it is at the same height as the chain machine gear.
3. Use U-shaped M6 screws and gaskets to fasten the L-type bracket base to the gate on both ends.
4. Hang the chain onto the opener's gear.
5. Adjust the chain length as needed; it can be shortened or lengthened up to 6 meters.
