Attach the rear mounting bracket
Attach the rear mounting bracket according to the dimensions
in Figure 4a or 4b.
WARNING! You must achieve the A and B dimensions as specified
in Figure 4a. Modification of the rear bracket may be neces-
sary to achieve these dimensions (i.e. cutting or extending the
bracket provided).
If there is a steel gate post, weld the rear bracket directly to it.
If the gate post is made of any other material, attach the op-
tional mounting plate, with lag bolts or anchors, and weld the
bracket to it.
For an outward swing gate refer to Figure 4b.
Attach the mounting hardware
Place the operator so that the red and green pressure adjusting
screws face up. Place the mounting fork in the operator’s rear
flange, secure with the long brass pin and selflocking nut.
Attach the fork assembly to the rear mounting bracket and secure
with the short pint, washer, and nut.
Attach the front mounting bracket to the operator
Insert the triangular key over the Manual Release mechanism on
the underside of the operator and turn the key counterclockwise
one turn.
For inward swing, pull the piston completely out and push it back
inward approximately 1/4 “ (6mm).
For outward swing, push the piston in completely and pull it back
out approximately 1/4“ (6mm).
Push the front pin through the front mounting bracket then the
piston rod to temporarily attach them together.
Make sure the operator is level and that the gate is against the
closed positive stop.
Hold the front mounting bracket flush against the gate, mark
the location of the front mounting bracket, remove the opera-
tor from the gate. Remove the front mounting bracket from
the piston rod.
Spot weld the front bracket on the leaf, protecting the rod against
any welding splatter.
WARNING
! Do Not Weld the front mounting bracket with the
operator attached. Doing so will seriously damage the operator.
Make sure the gate structure allows the bracket to be firmly
fastened, otherwise create a solid support base.
Release the operator and manually check if the gate is free
to open completely, stopping on the positive stops, and if leaf
movement is good and without friction.
Complete the welding of the front bracket to the gate leaf.
