Using the Mounting Template
The mounting template
(see insert)
is designed to simplify mounting the operator. It provides the installer with
the proper locations for running power and accessory wiring conduits. The template is also marked with the
correct distance between the operator mounting holes and shows the installer how to position the operator for
the correct clearance between the housing and the gate.
NOTE:
The operator must be securely mounted on a level concrete pad. If you do not have an existing pad to work
with, be sure to install wiring conduit before pouring concrete. You must use (5)
3
/
8
” diameter wedge type mounting
anchors, washers, and nuts (not included) to mount the operator on the pad.
Study the mounting template. Lay the mounting template on the level concrete pad and mark the pad according
to the instructions on the template.
Before mounting the operator, check the following:
• The concrete pad is level.
• (5) 3/8” diameter mounting anchors are in their correct positions.
• Conduit for power and accessory wiring is installed.

and sprocket aligned with the chain.
Chain brackets must be installed (welded
or bolted) to provide 4 to 6 inches between

adequate clearance between the operator
housing and the gate.
