Mounting the Opener
Step 9
Attach the opener to the securely bolted post bracket assembly and gate bracket using clevis pins,
bushings, and hairpin clips, or optional Pin Locks (see Accessory Catalog). Verify that the opener is level
and adjust the post bracket assembly if necessary.
Installation of the Closed Position Stop
The Mighty Mule® Gate Opener firmly holds the gate in the closed position using the
positive stop plate. The positive stop helps stabilize the gate leaf in the closed position.
To further enhance the stability and security of your gate, install the optional
Mighty Mule® Automatic Gate Lock
(see Accessory Catalog).
