9. Installation Overview
Pull-To-Open Gates (Gate Opens into the Property)
The diagram shown below is an example of a Pull-To-Open installation on a chain link fence and dual
gate. Mounting the operators on masonry columns requires special procedures; see Column Installation
Information on page 28. Furthermore, if you have a Push–To–Open gate, see Push–to–Open Installation
on page 26 before proceeding.
Install the Master Gate Operator
(3000XLS)
Install the Post Bracket Assembly
The post bracket is designed to work on a flat post. Posts
must be at least 6” square in order to bolt the post bracket.
When using bolts to mount the post bracket, the bolts must
completely penetrate the post.
• The best method of attaching the post bracket to a
metal post is welding.
• If your post exceeds 8”, it will be necessary to use hex
head bolts longer than those supplied.
• Round wood posts (no smaller than 8” diameter) may
be notched to create a flat surface for attaching the
post bracket.
• Wood posts will require a metal plate (not provided)
between the nuts and post to prevent the operator
from pulling the bolts and washers through the wood.
• A post smaller than 6” in diameter should be made
of metal instead of wood so that it will remain stable
while the operator is moving the gate.
• Masonry columns will require masonry anchors/
hardware (not provided).
