ANCHORING THE MOTOR
It is very important that the motor is mounted on a firm foundation that can not move or become loose
over time. The foundation should be constructed from concrete. The size of the plinth should be about
300 by 300 mm square and about 200mm deep. The foundation plate supplied with the motor must be
securely mounted to the concrete using coach screws and plugs. The foundation plate can also be
welded to the gate rail if need be. The concrete should be allowed sufficient time to set before the mo
tor is mounted onto the plate.
Allow concrete to set and then place the
foundation plate onto the concrete plinth
