D.A.C.E Compact 300 User Manual

14
It is very important that the motor is mounted on a firm foundation that can not move or become loose over time. The
foundation should be constructed from concrete. The size of the plinth should be about 300 x 300 mm square and about
200mm deep. The foundation plate supplied with the motor must be securely mounted to the concrete using coach
screws and plugs. The foundation plate can also be welded to the gate rail if need be. The concrete should be allowed
sufficient time to set before the motor is mounted onto the plate.
Allow concrete to set and then place the
foundation plate onto the concrete plinth
