2. Secure the provided bolts to the foundation plate as seen in the diagram below. There should be a nut
above and below the plate.
2. Observing the dimensions from step 1,
Create a concrete slab around the bolts. Create a slab with the
dimensions found below. Before pouring the cement set up conduit through the slab to run wires to the op-
erator through. The conduit should line up with the hole in the foundation plate.
3.
While the concrete is still workable but hard enough to hold the position of the plate , sit the founda-
tion plate on top of the wet cement. It should be inserted to the bottom of the foundation plate.
Important: check levelness of plate and measurements from gate right away before the concrete sets
and the foundation plate is fixed to the pad.
Concrete Slab Tips: Creating a wood rectangle with no top is a good way to form a slab. After the
cement dries the wood can be knocked away. The slab must be secured to the ground below. Hav-
ing rebar pass into the slab works well.

Note:
If you have a cross
bar you are trying to mount
the rack on, the center line
of the screws that support
the rack are 2” from the
bottom of the operator. So
create your slab to be tall
enough to position the bot-
tom of the operator in the
correct position. The height
of the operator is however
adjustable vertically by an
inch after the slab is set by
adjusting bolts.
