Spot-weld the sleeve into place on the bottom of the 
shoe's U-shaped section. If you are using the shear-pin 
assembly, spot weld the sleeve to the bottom of the 
shear-pin assembly, and spot weld the top of the shear-
pin assembly to the bottom of the shoe’s U-shaped 
section. 

 

Next you must test the temporarily welded position of 
the splined shaft's sleeve. Fit the shaft sleeve over the 
splined shaft with the U-shaped section aligned in the 
gate leaf's fully closed position. Verify with a plumb 
line that the axis of rotation falls through the pilot hole 
to the center of the splined shaft. 

 

If the axis of rotation alignments are correct, then 
permanently weld the sleeve for the splined shaft to the 
bottom of the U-shaped section of the shoe. 

 

Also, you now need to weld the pilot hole closed, and 
you need to weld the vertical section of the shoe to the 
U-shaped section of the shoe. 

 

Lubricate the splined shaft with grease and place the 
finished gate leaf shoe over the shaft in the closed 
position. 

Install the Gate Leaf 

If you are not using the telescoping shear-pin assembly, 
install the gate leaf by placing its 90-deg corner into the 
gate leaf shoe and then installing the top gate hinge.   

 

Installing the top gate hinge may require the gate leaf to 
be at a particular height. To raise (or lower) the gate leaf 
to the proper height, equally adjust the four leveling 
bolts on the base of the drive unit. The bolts raise (or 
lower) the splined shaft and thus the gate leaf shoe and 
gate leaf.  

 

To test the installation of the gate leaf, first make sure 
that the hydraulic system has been disengaged (the 
Manual Release lever should point down). 

 

Next, very slowly open and close the gate leaf a few 
times to see if it moves smoothly and evenly through its 
entire path. As necessary, adjust the leveling bolts on 
the base of the drive unit to correct any problems with 
the gate’s travel. 

Installing the Control Panel 

Locate the control panel in the most convenient position 
possible, considering the movement of the gate. For 
example, a good position for the control panel box in on 

the inner face of the post or pillar. Figure 12 shows the 
typical layout for a two-leaf gate with the 750 Operator. 
 
If you are embedding the control panel box into a wall 
or post, you must be sure to allow a clearance between 
the surface of the wall or post and the rim under the lid 
of the control panel box.  
 
Installing the control panel consists of six general steps: 
 

• 

Connecting the main power to the control 
panel  

• 

Connecting the activating device 

• 

Connecting the operator to the control 
panel 

• 

Checking the direction of the motor's 
rotation 

• 

Connecting other devices (activating and 
reversing) to the control panel 

• 

Setting DIP switches and potentiometers 
for normal operation 

 
The installer is responsible for grounding the gate and 
operator systems, for providing the main power breaker 
switch, and for making sure that the entire gate system 
meets all applicable electrical codes. 
The installer is responsible for grounding the operator 
systems, for providing the main power breaker switch, 
and for making sure that the entire gate system meets all 
applicable electrical codes. 
 
Follow the instructions below when installing the 
control panel for the 750 Operator. 

Connect the Main 
Power Supply 

WARNING

! Turn the main power off before 

you make any electrical connections or set any 
switches inside the control panel box. 

Wire the main power supply to control panel terminals 
in block J1 (see Figures 13 and 14). The installer is 
responsible for insuring that a separate, grounded circuit 
protected by a circuit breaker is between the control 
panel and the main power supply. All wiring should 
conform to applicable electrical codes, and all wiring 
and fittings should be weatherproof and/or suitable for 
burial.
