Preparation of the Gate
The gate
must
be plumb, level, and swing freely
on its hinges. Wheels must not be attached to
the gate. The gate must move throughout its arc
without binding or dragging on the ground.
Note that gates over 250 lb.. should have ball
bearing hinges with grease fittings.
The fence post should be no larger than 6" in
diameter and must be secured in the ground
with concrete so it will minimize twist or flex
when the opener is activated. We recommend
you position the opener near the
centerline
of the gate to keep the gate from twisting and
flexing and to avoid backsplash from rain water.
The addition of a
horizontal or vertical cross
member
(if one is not already in place) to provide
a stable area for mounting the gate bracket is
also important.
