9.1 - PIVOT ARM INSTALLATION - Location of Pivot Point
Measurements are taken from the center of pivot of the gate hinge.
The pivot arm needs to be securely mounted to the hinge post or equivalent mounting surface. It is recommended
to weld the pivot arm to a metal post. In order to achieve the correct articulation, geometry and rate of speed of the
gate it is critical that the measurements below are followed. The pivot arm may need to be cut to achieve the correct
placement of the actuator mounting hole. Measurements are taken from the center of pivot of the gate hinge.
Strip back 6” of black sleeve from connector end of the actuator cable.
Either cut and reverse the white and orange limit wires and the red and
black motor wires of the connector shown below or disconnect and
move the pins with the appropriate tool.
NOTE: Do not reverse battery wires
