The gate weight will be on the foundation box of the 6400. It is recommended that the concrete is reinforced around the
foundation box to handle the weight of the gate (300 lbs max.). It is preferred that a heavy gate be supported by two hinges
instead of the foundation box (See next page).
The foundation box MUST have a drain pipe installed with the correct slope for proper drainage. Improper drainage of the
foundation box will result in stagnant water that will eventually lead to operator failure.
