Mounting Pad Installation
The gate operator mounts bolted to posts secured in concrete footings. The posts support the operator and prevent it from moving during operation. For optional pad mounting instructions, see Linear drawing #2700-360.
Gate Preparation
Before installing, make sure the gate rolls or slides freely, and that all
exposed rollers are properly covered. The gate must be covered with fabric
with openings no larger than 2-1/4” in size, to a minimum height of 72” above
ground level. On picket-style gates, if pickets are spaced less than 2-1/4”
apart, mesh is optional.
Mounting Specifications
- Use two 3 – 3-1/2” OD galvanized posts and secure with concrete footings as shown, length to be determined by local codes, frost line depth and soil conditions.
- Attach the operator with the U-bolts, side plates and hardware provided. Four 3/16” side plates go on the outside top and bottom, two 1/2” side plates go on the inside top, and two 3/16” side plates go on the inside bottom (see the illustration at right).
- To assemble the drive chain and gate brackets, refer to Page 4. Make sure that the chain sag does not exceed recommended sizes and that the chain does not come into contact with the moving parts of the gate or ground.
WARNING
The operator is intended for installation only on gates used for vehicles.
Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate access opening. The pedestrian
access opening shall be designed to promote pedestrian usage. Locate the gate
such that persons will not come into contact with the vehicular gate during
the entire path of travel of the vehicular gate.
WARNING
The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is supplied
between the gate and adjacent structures when opening and closing to reduce
the risk of entrapment.
COVER GATE WITH FABRIC WITH OPENINGS SMALLER THAN 2 1/4″ TO A
MINIMUM HEIGHT OF 72″ ABOVE GROUND. ON PICKET STYLE GATES, IF PICKETS ARE
SPACED LESS THAN 2 1/4″ APART MESH IS OPTIONAL.
