Attach Actuator Bracket to Universal Actuator Bracket
The actuator bracket has a 3/8” pre drilled hole that the linear actuator will
mount to. This is the pivot point for the linear actuator. In all cases, the
universal actuator bracket should be aligned level with a horizontal gate
section. (see Mounting Site Review)
For a Pull to Open installation -
the pre-drilled hole must be located 5”
behind the gate hinge and 8” to the inside of the property.
For a Push to Open installation
-
the pre-drilled hole must be located 7” in
front of the gate hinge and 4” to the drive side of the hinge.
These dimensions are measured from the center of the gate hinge (pivot point).
Hardware needed:
• two 3/8” x 2 1/2” shoulder bolts
• two 3/8” USS flat washers
• two 3/8 nylon lock nuts.
1. Attach actuator bracket to universal actuator bracket.
2. Verify that actuator bracket pivot hole dimension is located in the
correct position see page 10 for dimensions.
3. Tighten bolts securely.
Install Linear Actuator to Actuator Bracket
The actuator can be mounted in two different positions as shown. Installing the
actuator on its side can allow for hiding it behind a cross member in the gate frame. The gates below
are shown in the closed position.
1. Install nylon washers and bronze bushings into rear of linear actuator.
2. Install the linear actuator into actuator bracket
3. Secure the linear actuator in place using 3/8 x 2 1/2” shoulder bolt and
two 3/8 SAE washers.
4. Use 3/8 nylon lock nut to secure, tighten firmly.
Actuator should swing freely, DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN!
CAUTION:
If mounting actuator on its side, ensure actuator case does
not come in contact with any objects. Mount as shown so that wide part
of motor case and cable is away from gate.
