B.  PAD AND MOUNT 

 

Figure 3.  Pad and Mount. 

1. 

The concrete pad must be sufficient to support the gate operator and the dynamic forces created by 
the moving gate.  LiftMaster recommends a pad 20” wide by 22” long by 20” deep. 

2. 

Four anchor bolts are required to secure the gate operator to the pad.  The mounting holes in the 
gate operator are 5/8” in diameter.  L-bolts ½” X 6” are recommended. 

3. 

The pad should be level and about 4” above grade to prevent water entrance.  Allow concrete to set 
at least two days before installing gate. 

4. 

Be sure to provide access for wiring conduits.  In Master/Slave systems, remember to include 
conduit stubs for separate inputs (if any) and for the Master/Slave connection cable between gate 
operators. 

 

NOTE:

  The only access area for the conduit stub is at the center of the pad, indicated as the 

shaded area in Figure 3 Top View.  Allow a minimum three-foot-long conduit stub.
