ANCHORING THE OPERATOR
It is very important that the operator is mounted on a firm foundation that can not move or become
loose over time. The foundation should be constructed from concrete. The size of the plinth should be
about 300 by 300 mm square and about 200mm deep. The foundation plate supplied with the operator
must be securely mounted to the concrete using coach screws and plugs. The foundation plate can
also be welded to the gate rail if need be. The concrete should be allowed sufficient time to set before
the operator is mounted onto the plate.
Allow concrete to set and then place the
foundation plate onto the concrete plinth
