MAX Arm/Ultra Arm V1
Weld a horizontal bar across entire gate on any installation for strength. DO NOT weld the crossbar on just a few pickets, or they could bend.
Make sure that the operator is mounted level or it will not function properly. Arm should be mounted at least 12 inches above the ground.
Make sure there is slack in the operator cable. DO NOT over-bend the operator cable. Doing this will cause the wires to eventually break.
DO NOT install on ANY pedestrian passageways, doorways, or gates.
