KIS100 Power Gate Operator
INSTALLATION - MECHANICAL
1. Unpack the unit, remove the cover, and check for any physical damage before proceeding.
2. Check to see that you have the correct hand unit. The operator is designed so the motor is on the
stack side of the gate. The operator can be made to work on the opposite hand, but on most jobs it
will require a large amount of overhang. The chassis is symmetrical; if necessary you can covert hand
in the field, however this will VOID THE WARRANTY.
3. Operate the gate manually. The door must operate smoothly without any binding. Correct any
problems with the gate before proceeding.
4. Mark a line on the car top corresponding to the centerline or the front edge of the gate track.
5. If the distance from the gate track centerline to the edge of the car top is more than 1 -1/8", there
are two options: Shim out connecting arm (maximum recommended distance is 1/2"), or cut back
the edge of the car top. If you need to cut back the car top, do so now - cut so there is 1-1/8" from
the gate track centerline to the edge.
6.
OFFSET GATE APPLICATION
For an offset gate, refer to Figure 1b. If the distance from the gate track centerline to the edge of the
car top is more than 15/16”, cut back the edge of the car top. As illustrated in Figure 1b, the gate track
centerline to the car top edge should not exceed 15/16”.
7. Place the operator on the cartop. Set the operator so the front edge is 1-1/8" (max) from the
centerline or 9/16" (max) from the front edge of the gate track toward the inside of the car, and so the
lead end is 3/4" past the gate strike. See Fig 1.
