Operator Mounting Options
A support bar must span the entire length of the
gate to support the gate pickets. The pickets will
bend if not supported.
Assemble as shown or
premature wear can occur.
• DO NOT install operator upside down.
• DO NOT install next to sprinklers or any area that may expose the bottom of operator to water.
• DO NOT install on uphill or downhill gates.
• DO NOT install on ANY pedestrian passageways, doorways, or gates.
• DO NOT over-bend the operator cable. Doing this will cause the wires to eventually break.

If the
mounting post
dimensions or the
hinge position do not
allow the installation of
the 6006, a recess should
be created in the mounting post
to maintain the desired dimensions. The
recess should big enough for easy installation,
and use of the 6006’s manual release.

Mounting Operator
Gate must be in good working condition before the actuator arm can be installed.
6006 MUST be level!
If brackets are going to be welded to the gate and/or wall, only tack weld the brackets with the 6006 attached. Protect the 6006 from
welding sparks during tack welding. Remove 6006 before COMPLETELY welding around the brackets. Make sure the brackets are level
when tack welding them! The 6006 will not operate properly if not level.
