Ensure there is sufcient angle so that the gate never runs parallel with the
actuator arm in either the closed or open positions.
It is important that in both the full open and full close positions, the arms must
not be parallel to the gate. A parallel arm will not result in a turning movement
to the gate causing potential damage to both gate and actuator arm.

Rear actuator cap pins should NEVER
bind onto the secondary bracket
Now place gate in the open position and check that the rear actuator cap pins
do not bind on the secondary bracket (see image below).
