Mounting Pad Installation The gate operator mounts bolted to posts secured in concrete footings. The posts support the operator and prevent it from moving during operation. For optional pad mounting instructions, see Linear drawing #2700-360. Gate Preparation Before installing, make sure the gate rolls or slides freely, and that all exposed rollers are properly covered. The gate must be covered with fabric with openings no larger than 2-1/4" in size, to a minimum height of 72" above ground level. On picket-style gates, if pickets are spaced less than 2-1/4" apart, mesh is optional. Mounting Specifications Use two 3 - 3-1/2" OD galvanized posts and secure with concrete footings as shown, length to be determined by local codes, frost line depth and soil conditions. Attach the operator with the U-bolts, side plates and hardware provided. Four 3/16" side plates go on the outside top and bottom, two 1/2" side plates go on the inside top, and two 3/16" side plates go on the inside bottom (see the illustration at right). To assemble the drive chain and gate brackets, refer to Page 4. Make sure that the chain sag does not exceed recommended sizes and that the chain does not come into contact with the moving parts of the gate or ground. WARNING The operator is intended for installation only on gates used for vehicles. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate access opening. The pedestrian access opening shall be designed to promote pedestrian usage. Locate the gate such that persons will not come into contact with the vehicular gate during the entire path of travel of the vehicular gate. WARNING The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is supplied between the gate and adjacent structures when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment. Figure 1.
