HSLG Slide Gate Operator Installation Guide - 4 - P1220 X14
Gate Bracket and Chain Assembly
✓ NOTE: The item numbers shown in these illustrations
are for reference only. For the actual part numbers, refer
to the parts lists in the rear of this manual.
Assemble a gate bracket (1) to the front edge of the gate, using
two U-bolts (2), and mounting hardware (3). Before tightening down
completely, be sure the bracket is parallel to the gate. Tighten the U-bolt
hardware the rest of the way, then screw the square head bolts (4) into
the threaded holes in the gate plate until they bottom out against the
gate. These will help keep the bracket from twisting on the pipe.
Slide a threaded chain pin (5) through the bracket as shown, with spring
(6), at washer (10), and two hex nuts (7). Attach one end of the drive
chain (8) to the chain pin using master link (9) and begin unrolling the
chain toward the operator.
Remove the rain cover from the back of the slide gate operator. Carefully
thread the drive chain under the rst idler, over the drive sprocket, and
then under the last idler. Make sure you feed most of the chain through
the idlers and sprocket before attaching the chain to the back end of
the gate.
Assemble the other gate bracket on the rear edge of the gate, using
the same process as the front gate bracket. Once this is done, take the
other chain pin, spring and jam nuts and assemble with the end of drive
chain and the other master link.
At this point you should be able to adjust the chain tension by tightening
the jam nuts on each end. Approximately 1/4” to 3/8” of slack
per foot of drive chain is acceptable. Make sure the chain
does not drag on the ground, across the gate rollers or the idler frame
of the operator.
Additional mounting holes have been provided in the gate bracket for
installer convenience.
