3.2.14 Slide the bracket that is shown in Figure 6, back and forth to adjust the cable tension.
Take up the slack in the cable, but it should not be taut. Tighten hardware to retain the
bracket.
3.2.15 When pushing on the spring, there should be a 1/16” gap between the spring and the
blocker pivot plate assembly. Fine adjustments can be made by adjusting the cable
mounting nuts as shown in Figure 13. Press the foot pedal in the forward lock position,
the spring should stretch slightly when it locks over center.

3.2.16 Install the gate linkage cover to the gate linkage assembly as shown in Figure 15.
FIGURE 15
3.2.17 To make sure the OCD01 assembly is installed correctly:
a) Place the foot pedal in the locked position. Gate should be raised to nearly
horizontal position.
b) Place foot pedal in the unlocked position. Gate should move to vertical position,
closing off the discharge opening. If you try to open the gate with your hands,
the gate should be locked into place. If the gate opens, the cable is tensioned
too tightly.
Readjust the bracket and nut as stated in 3.2.14.
