Installation
In order for the gate operator to function correctly it is important that the gate be level
and swing smoothly and freely. If it does not, damage to the operator may result and
the life expectancy will be greatly reduced.
SW470 gate operators have provisions for both post and pad mounting. However,
because of the high torque involved in most swing gate installations, pad mounting is
the recommended method.
NOTE:
Instructions are for right hand operator installation. Left hand is opposite.

(not supplied) are provided in the operator.
NOTE:
Distance between mounting posts and the relative location to gate
is very important.
