Installation Guide
1. Site Preparation
Ensure the gate is properly installed, moves freely, and is level. The area around the gate opener installation point should be clear of obstructions and have adequate drainage.

- Determine the optimal mounting position for the gate opener, ensuring it is level and securely anchored to a concrete pad or sturdy base. The 9-inch height base helps prevent submersion during heavy rain.
- Use the provided mounting hardware to secure the opener to the prepared base.
