Installation
This gate opener is a rack driven operator which works by forcing a rack past the driving
gear. An illustration is shown in Figure 1 below. The gate operator should be installed on
the inside of the gate.
Gate preparation
Be sure the gate is properly installed and slides smoothly before installing the gate
operator. The gate must be plumb, level, and move freely. Manually open and close the
gate, checking for any friction points.

Conduit Pipes
PVC conduit pipes should be used to protect electrical cabling. Ideally, the conduit pipes
should be set into the concrete when it is poured. Ensure that all cables are protected from
sharp or rough objects to avoid any damage.
