6. Secure the operator to the rear bracket using
the appropriate bolt supplied, as indicated in
Figure 15.
7. Bring the leaf of the gate to the closure
position.
8. Bring the operator, together with the related
bracket, alongside the leaf.
9. Check that the operator is horizontal using
a level, as indicated in Figure 16, and
temporarily secure it with clamps or two
welding points.
The axis of the securing holes of the front
bracket must be aligned with the axis of
the securing holes of the rear bracket, see
Figure 17.
If the structure of the gate does not permit
reliable mounting, the structure of the
gate must be adapted to provide a solid
supporting base.
10. Prepare the operator for manual operation,
see Section 5, and move the leaf manually,
checking that it completes the entire opening
operation required, stopping at the mechanical
stops.
If, during the test, the operator hits the leaf
of the gate, value E may be increased, see
Figure 4, up to a maximum of 4
½ inches, using
appropriate spacers placed between the front
bracket and the leaf of the gate.
11. Perform any corrective measures necessary
and repeat the procedures from Step 9.
12. Permanently secure the front bracket, using
a suitable securing system as indicated in
Figure 18.
If it is decided to weld the bracket directly onto the
leaf, the operator must be released temporarily. Wait
for the bracket to cool before reassembling the
operator.
