4. Assemble the gate by inserting the proper vertical
pipes into the pipe fittings and tightening the Allen
set screws as you complete the assembly.
NOTE:
The vertical pipes marked with an X on the Gate
Diagram at the back of these instructions are installed
flush with the top (or bottom) of the pipe fittings.
5. Assemble and install the gate wheel (if used).
NOTE:
The use of the wheel depends on whether it is
able to roll on the surface of the site. In many instances,
it is easier to allow the gate to swing on the hinges only.
The diagonal cable (installed in the next procedure) will
help support the gate.
6.
Once the gate is assembled, set it in place and
attach it to the ground post (hinge side) using 1/2"
bolts, flat washers, and self-locking nuts.
See the
Gate Diagram for part numbers.
ATTENTION:
Install the lock nuts until each is seated,
and then loosen each nut one-quarter to one-half of a
turn so the gate is able to swing on the ground post
brackets.
7. Install the diagonal cable for the gate.
INSTALL THE CABLE FOR THE GATE
The diagonal cable for the gate helps support the gate.
Except for length, the cable assembly consists of the
same parts as the main frame cables and is assembled
in the same manner.
Complete these steps:
1. Close the gate and align the security brackets on the
ground post with the pipe fittings on the middle
horizontal pipes of the gate.
2. Measure the gate diagonally from the wheel corner
to upper hinge corner to determine cable length.
REMEMBER:
Allow enough extra cable to attach each
cable end to the gate and to the turnbuckle.
3. Cut a section of cable to the required length.
4. Cut the cable again so the turnbuckle is positioned
as shown in the previous diagram when it is
installed.
5. Secure the turnbuckle to the cable as previously
described in these instructions.
6. Drill a 3/8" hole through the top and bottom frame
pipes (horizontal) as shown approximately 1"-2" in
from the single-socket, T fittings.
7. Thread a cable end through one hole and secure the
cable using two (2) cable clamps
at each end
. If
needed, refer to the previous cable instructions to
properly attach the cable.
8. With the cable secured to the gate, tighten the
turnbuckle to support the gate.
9. Continue by installing the main cover.

Drill hole here for bottom and top pipe assemblies.
Use of wheel depends on site. Cable
will support gate without wheel.
