Step 4
After verifying that you have the best position for the post pivot bracket in the open position, insert the
5/16" x 1-1/2" bolt through the aligned holes of the post bracket and post pivot bracket to hold it in place.
Remove the clevis pin from the front mount and while supporting the gate opener, swing the gate and gate
opener to the closed position. With the gate and gate opener in the closed position check the clearance
and be sure that the gate opener is not binding at the post pivot bracket.
If you don't have 1 inch of clearance, the gate opener is binding on the post pivot bracket, or you don't
have 13' or less from the front mount to the gate bracket in the closed position, remove the 5/16" x 1-1/2"
bolt and readjust the pivot bracket until you can achieve these important clearances and distance.
With the post pivot bracket in the optimum position for clearance and freedom of movement, reattach
the opener to the gate bracket in the open position and recheck the gate opener level and make sure the
brackets are clamped securely.
IMPORTANT:
While determining the mounting point for the post pivot bracket assembly, be sure that the
position allows for minimum 1 inch of clearance between the gate and the opener in both the open and
closed positions, as well as maintaining the maximum 13" distance explained in the gate installation overview
earlier. This position will give the opener the most efficient leverage point for opening and closing the gate
and more importantly provides the least possible pinch area.
TIP:
Turning the pivot bracket over gives
more hole alignment options for the post
pivot bracket assembly. You can also move
the entire post pivot bracket assembly to
different positions on the gate post to help
achieve the proper clearances.
