Attach Opener Arm
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] (

Verify that the 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 lawn mowers, heavy equipment, etc. (See illustration on
.) NEVER SPLICE opener arm power cables. This will cause
performance problems and may damage the opener.
