It is recommended to install a concrete pad in order to maintain proper stability.
1. Lay out a concrete pad. Requires a minimum of 17"(length) x 24"(width) x 24"(20" depth below
ground, 4" above ground).
2. Install the electrical conduit. One
conduit is required for a single gate.
For double gates, add another
conduit. For underground loops,
add another conduit.
3. Pour the concrete pad.
4. Use 4 Wedge Anchors 1/2" to
secure the gate operator to the
concrete pad. Figure C
