Step 1
Attach the opener
to the securely
bolted post bracket
assembly and gate
bracket using clevis
pins, bushings,
and hairpin clips, or
optional Pin Lock
[FM133] (page

opener is level and
adjust the post
bracket assembly, if
necessary.
Step 2
Install the SECOND gate opener and hardware on the second gate following the same procedures as the FIRST gate
opener and hardware ("Installing Post Bracket Assembly and Gate Bracket" Steps 1–10).
NOTE: The power cable for the Second Opener should be run in PVC conduit under the driveway to protect it from
damage due to lawnmowers, heavy equipment, etc. (See illustration on page 6.) NEVER SPLICE opener arm power
cables. This will cause performance problems and may damage the opener.
