Gate Post Brackets
The position of the gate post bracket is critical to the success of your installation and
attention needs to be paid to both its correct height and its position on the post in respect
to the relationship between your hinge pivot point and the motor pivot point on the bracket.
Once you have determined the general desired height of the motor, position the bracket
and take note of the dimensions.
In a standard installation the basic aim is to get the “J” and “K” dimensions to be as close
as possible to equal but “J” can be greater allowing for a more positive push of the gate
against gate stop.
Hint: The dimension of BOTH J and K for a standard installation is approximately
For 400mm Arm For 500mm Arm
J ~ 220 mm J ~ 240 mm
K ~ 240 mm K ~ 220 mm

The other consideration before fixing is that the post bracket should be higher then the
pivot point of the gate bracket giving the gear motor an incline of approximately one degree
(10-15mm above the level mark). This allows for moisture to flow away from the internal
motor and also increasing the arms ability to press down on the gate stop.
Install the Arm, levelled or at a small downward incline
