POST MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR MODEL
HSLG
Before installing, make sure the gate rolls or slides freely,
and that all exposed rollers are properly covered. The gate
must be covered with fabric with openings no larger than
2 1/4” in size, to a minimum height of 48 inches from ground
level. On picket-style gates, if pickets are spaced less than
2 1/4” apart, mesh is optional.
Use two 3 - 3 1/2” OD galvanized posts and secure with
concrete footings as shown, length to be determined by lo-
cal codes, frost line depth and soil conditions. Secure the
operator to the posts using the 4” U-bolts, side plates,
and hardware. There are a total of eight side plates. There
are six 3/16” side plates which should be mounted on the
outside top and bottom of the cabinet, two 3/16” side plates which
go on the top inside and two 1/2” side plates which should be
mounted on the inside top of the cabinet as shown in the illustra-
tion at the right.
To assemble the drive chain and gate brackets, refer to page 6 .
Make sure that the chain sag does not exceed recommended
sizes and that the chain does not come into contact with the
moving parts of the gate or ground.
For optional pad mounting instructions, see LINEAR drawing
#2700-360.
SIDE PLATE INSTALLATION
The operator is intended for installation only on
gates used for vehicles. Pedestrians must be sup-
plied with a separate access opening. The pedestrian
access opening shall be designed to promote pedes-
trian usage. Locate the gate such that persons will
not come in contact with the vehicular gate during
the entire path of travel of the vehicular gate.
