ANCHORING THE MOTOR
It is very important that the motor 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 motor 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 motor is mounted
onto the plate.
Allow concrete to set and then place the founda-
tion plate onto the concrete plinth
