PLAN OF INSTALLATION
Plan of Installation (continued):
Remove Excess
Extension Tube
STEP 1
Release the clutch (see pg. 7) and cut the
extension arms according to the desired plan
of installation (Figure A on pg. 12).
Note:
Leave extra material when cutting the
extension arms to allow for any added
adjustment.
STEP 2
With the gate in the closed position, place
the pieces of the articulated arm. Make
certain the dimensions correspond to the
plan of installation. To aid in the pre-
installation process, use C-clamps or tack-
weld pieces.
STEP 3
With the clutch released, manually position
the gate from the completely open to the
completely closed position. Confirm that the
gate/arm combination provides the desired
operation and that the arm does not bind in
its movement (especially in the open
position).
Note:
The speed of the gate operation is
based on the total travel angle of the primary
arm on the output shaft. The smaller the angle,
the quicker the gate opens and closes.
CAUTION
Do not weld the bar or backing plate
to only a few gate posts. Mounting
bar must be welded to a frame
segment that runs the full length of
the gate to prevent damage to the
gate operator.
