IMPORTANT:

 To achieve the most efficient 

leverage for the gate opener and ensure long 

trouble free service, the gate opener needs to be 

installed within the following parameters. 
The diagram at left shows the optimum position 

for gate opener arm in relation to the gate in the 

open and closed positions.  Be sure the position 

of the gate opener and brackets allows for 1" of 

clearance between the gate and the opener in both 

the open and closed position, at the same time 

maintaining a stroke distance of 4" to 13" from 

center of hole in the end of the retracted opener 

arm to the center of the hole in the gate bracket 

with the gate in the closed position.

36' power cable allows the control 

board to control the SECOND gate 

opener (run in PVC conduit)

You will need to trench across the 

driveway in order to lay conduit for 

the second opener power cable.
