Brick, Masonry, or Rock Column
Installation
(fig. 32)
In a pull-to-open installation, spacing requirements may
prevent mounting the gate opener (actuator) on a col-
umn. If this is the case, the gate may have to be profes-
sionally re-hung on a post
next
to the column.
When mounting the gate opener (actuator) onto a col-
umn, use of the push-to-open bracket (sold separately)
may be necessary to ensure proper spacing between the
column and the opener.
If the proper spacing cannot be achieved using the
push-to-open bracket in a pull-to-open installation, the
gate opener (actuator) must be installed using the push-
to-open procedure (see
page 26
).
If using the push-to-open procedure, ensure that the
gate does not cause a traffic hazard.
