Installation Continued...
m If it is preferable to mount the
gate operator onto a cement pad, form a
cement pad that is 14" by 16" as shown
in figure 4 at left. For this installation, an
optional concrete mounting stand is
required. The cement pad should be at
least 6" deep and may protrude above
the ground 4" or more as shown if it is
desirable to elevate the gate operator.
Elevating the gate operator may prevent
unnecessary flood damage in places
where the drainage is not adequate.
m Place the operator on the
optional concrete mounting stand by
inserting the vertical pipes up through
the bottom of the gate operator and
through the u-bolts. Tighten the u-bolt
nuts firmly to secure the concrete
mounting stand to the gate operator.
m Place the operator with stand
onto the cement pad and position it as
shown in figure 5 at left. Drill through the
four corner holes of the stand and into
the cement pad using a 3/8" masonry bit.
The holes should be at least 3-1/2"
deep. Drive 3/8" sleeve anchors into the
holes and tighten firmly.
m The chain may be threaded
through the sprockets in one of two ways
as shown at left and the choice is simply
a matter of preference. Threading the
chain one way will make the chain low
as it extends across the driveway and
the other way will make it higher. The
side plates may be moved up or down by
loosening the nuts which secure them,
moving the plate to it's alternate position,
then re-tightening the nuts.
m The ends of the chain are
