Determining The Mounting Position
of The Post Bracket Assembly
Step PTO-1:
With the gate 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.

Step PTO-2:
While gate is closed, stand inside the property next to the
fence post. Using the setback template (insert) measure

toward the gate and measure 4

". This is the point where
either one of the holes at the end of the post pivot bracket
should be. You will need to rotate the post pivot bracket or
the entire post bracket assembly to align it with the square
angle of the template.
NOTE: If you move the post pivot bracket, be sure that one
of the post bracket holes is aligned with the rest of the
assembly. Flipping the Post Pivot Bracket gives more
position options.
After verifying that you have complied with the

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

The opener is installed while the gate is in the closed position.
