Single Gate Opener Parts List
(continued)
Control Box and Electrical Components
ALSO, YOU WILL NEED THESE ITEMS BEFORE YOU BEGIN THE INSTALLATION (Some of these items can
be found in the
Accessory Catalog
on page 35):
•
The gate needs a stop post for the open position. This post is not provided. See Installation of the Positive Stops
on page 16 for more information.
•
Additional low voltage wire may be needed; length depends upon the distance between the transformer power
supply and the control box. See Powering the System on page 20, and the Accessory Catalog.
•
If your gate is more than 1000' away from an ac power source you will need to use at least one Mighty Mule Solar
Panel to trickle charge the battery. See the Accessory Catalog.
•
If your fence post is made of wood and is less than 6" in diameter or 6" square, see page 12.
•
If your fence post is larger than 6" in diameter you will need threaded rods or carriage bolts longer than 8". See
page 15.
•
If you have thin walled tube or panel gates, see Recommended Reinforcement Examples on page 12.
•
Depending on the type of gate, a horizontal cross member or mounting plate may be needed to mount the front
of the opener and gate bracket to the gate. See page 11, step 2; page 15, step 10.
•
Power cables 40' long are available for mounting your control box away from the gate (i.e., in a more secure
location). See the Accessory Catalog.
