Determining The Mounting Position 

of The Post Bracket Assembly

Step 1

With the gates 

closed

, adjust the post bracket assembly and the gate 

bracket until the opener is level.  While holding the opener level, use 
C-clamps to temporarily keep the post bracket assembly and gate 
bracket in their respective positions on the fence post and gate.

For details refer to page 13. 

Push to Open Installation

Swinging gates shall not open into public access areas!

 

A "Push-to-Open" gate opens 

out

 from the property.

A Push-to-Open Bracket is required for this type of installation

 (

see 

Accessory Catalog

).  If you have a pull-to-open gate (gate opens 

into

 the 

property), return to page 3; step 3.

  

In a PUSH-TO-OPEN installation the openers are installed while the gates 
are in the 

closed

 position.

Step 2

After verifying that you have the best position 
for the post pivot bracket, insert the

bolt through the aligned holes of the post bracket 
and post pivot bracket and fasten it with the 

5

6" 

washer and nut.  

IMPORTANT:

 If you loosened the clamp on 

the post bracket to achieve the optimum position, 
tighten it in its new position and recheck the gate 
bracket with the gate in the open position (move the 
gate bracket and re-clamp it if necessary).

IMPORTANT:

 

While determining the mounting point for the post 

pivot bracket assembly be sure that the position allows for maximum 
clearance between the gate and the opener in both the open and closed 
positions, as shown in the diagrams below.  This clearance will give the 
opener the most efficient leverage point for opening and closing the gate 
and more importantly provides the least possible pinch area.
