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.
The operator must be installed while
fully retracted with the gate in open 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.
