Using the Mounting Template
The mounting template (see insert) is designed to simplify mounting the operator. It provides the installer with the
proper locations for running power and accessory wiring conduits. The template is also marked with the correct
distance between the operator mounting holes and shows the installer how to position the operator for the correct
clearance between the housing and the gate.
NOTE: The operator must be securely mounted on a level concrete pad. If you do not have an existing pad to work
with, be sure to install wiring conduit before pouring concrete. You must use (4)

operator to gate hinge is 2 feet) and mark the pad according to the instructions on the template.
Before you attempt to mount the operator, check the following:
