IMPORTANT: Check For Proper Gate Installation
• The gate must be plumb, level, and swing freely on its hinges.
• The gate must move throughout its arc without binding or dragging on the ground.
• A properly leveled/plumed gate will not have the tendency to self-open or self-close and
remain stationery. A self-opening or closing gate suggests that the gate is not level/plum.
This will cause accelerated wear to your automatic gate system.
• Wheels must NOT be attached to the gate.
• Post must be secured in the ground with concrete (minimizes twist/ex when the operator is
activated).
• Make sure there is a stable area for mounting the gate bracket.
• We recommend you position the operator near the centre-line of the gate to keep the gate
from twisting and exing, and to avoid back-splash from rain.
• Double gates - rubber gate stop supplied will need to be bolted down to the middle of the
driveway for the gates to close up onto
• Single gate - gate will either close up onto the opposite post or you can install the rubber
gate stop on the post for the gate to strike
• You can install another gate stopper at the full open position or you may choose to let the
gate swing till it is stopped by the internal built in stop mechanism when the arm is fully
retracted (pull to open position) or fully extended (push to open position).
• Installing a gate stop at the full open position will allow for a rm/solid push and prevent the
gate from swaying or moving in moderately windy conditions.
