Step PTO-3:
With the gate in the fully closed position and the operator retracted, swing the operator to the gate. Mark reference
points for bolt holes on gate cross member through middle of gate bracket slots. The operator must be level. (Some
vertical adjustment is possible by sliding the post bracket assembly up and down.) Drill
3
/
8
" holes into the gate cross
member as marked. Fasten gate bracket to cross member using (2) 3/8" x 3" bolts, washers, lock washers and nuts.
Attach the operator to the post bracket assembly and gate bracket using clevis pins, washers, and hairpins clips.
Step PTO-7:
NOTE: Each time you adjust the knob, finger tighten it
before pressing the transmitter button to check your
adjustment.
Repeat the procedure in step PTO-6 until the gate stops firmly (but not sharply) against the open position stop plate.
The motor will continue to run for one-half second after the gate opens against the stop plate. If the motor continues
to run for more than one second, the operator is overextended and further adjustment is necessary. If the motor strains
too long against the stop plate the fuse on the control board (for the FIRST OPERATOR terminal) will be blown.
This blade-style 15 ampere fuse (sold by most automotive supply stores) can be easily replaced.
NEVER use a fuse rated higher than 15 amperes!
Step PTO-6:
To increase degree of gate opening, loosen the stroke
adjustment knob on the bottom of the operator
housing and move it about
1
/
8
" toward the gate bracket
(see Fig. A). Finger tighten the knob–DO NOT USE
PLIERS OR OTHER TOOLS TO TIGHTEN
KNOB. Press the transmitter to check your adjustment.
To decrease the degree of gate opening, move the
stroke adjustment knob away from the gate bracket
(see Fig B).

Step PTO-4:
Make sure the control box power switch is OFF. Use a small
screwdriver to move the PULL / PUSH DIP switch to
PUSH. Replace control box cover. Turn power switch ON.
The control board is now configured to push the gate open.
Step PTO-5:
Press the transmitter to activate the operator and
determine the degree of gate opening. Initially, the
operator will extend only 7" to 8" until it is adjusted
(the maximum extension of operator is 11
