Installation and Adjustment
The DKL400UY Chain-driven Gate Operator operates by forcing a straight piece of chain
through its chain box. This length of chain is extended between two chain brackets located at
opposite ends of the gate. The entire configuration is shown in the diagram above.
Concrete Pad
The base unit of the gate operator requires a concrete pad in order to maintain proper stability.
The concrete pad should be approximately 24” (600mm) x 12” (300mm) x 18” (460mm) deep
in order to provide for adequate operation.
Once the gate is mounted adequately, electrical power is available, and the concrete pad is
poured, you are ready to proceed.
Anchors
You can use the anchors that are provided with the operator, 3 ¾ anchor bolts (4), anchors,
washers, and nuts. These anchors must be set into the concrete when it is poured, or you
can use wedge anchors (1/4” x 4”).
Operator Base
Mount the gate operator base to the concrete pad. The distance between the gate and the
base should be no more than 2 ½ “ (64mm). Verify that the operator is leveled properly.
