Gate Grounding

 

● For reference only.

Cooper Clad Ground Rod (not included)

Use an 8 foot, 5/8 inch ground rod, positioned 

two feet or less from the post and 2 inches or 

less above the ground. Available at local home 

center or hardware stores. 

NOTE:

 No grounding system absolutely 

protects against lightning strikes. If installed 

correctly, a grounding system will help 

minimize damage to your gate operator. 

 

● The gate must be plumb, level, and swing freely on its hinges. 

 

● The gate must move throughout its arc without binding or dragging on the ground. 

 

● Wheels must NOT be attached to the gate. 

 

● Gates over 250 lb. should have ball bearing hinges with grease fittings.

 

● Post must be secured in the ground with concrete (minimizes twist/flex when the operator is activated).

 

● Make sure there is a stable area for mounting the gate bracket (this may require the addition of a horizontal or 

vertical cross member). 

 

● We recommend you position the operator near the center-line of the gate to keep the gate from twisting and 

flexing, and to avoid back-splash from rain.
