Installation Overview
Pull-to-Open Gates (Gate Opens into the Property)
The diagram below is an example of a pull-to-open installation on a chain link fence and single gate. If you are
installing a push-to-open gate system, see Push-to-Open Installation starting on page 30. Mounting the operator on
a masonry column requires special procedures; see Column Installation Information on page 35 before proceeding.
Preparing the Gate
Step 1:
The gate must be in proper working order, plumb, level and swinging freely on its hinges. Do not use wheels on gate.
The gate must move smoothly and evenly throughout its swing, without binding or dragging on the ground. Gates
over 250 pounds should have ball bearing hinges with grease fittings.
Step 2:
The fence post must be strongly secured in the ground
with concrete so it will not twist or flex when the
operator is powered. It is important to position the
operator near the centerline of the gate to keep the gate
from twisting and flexing. The addition of a horizontal
or vertical cross member may be necessary (if one is
not already in place) to provide a stable area to which the
gate bracket can be secured.
For the operator to function properly, Steps 1 & 2
must be complete before proceeding to the next step.
