¾ 12 Volt automotive or marine battery and a weather
proof case.
¾ Low voltage wire will be needed to run from the
transformer to the control box; length depends
upon the distance between the transformer power
supply and the control box. See Transformer Wiring
Installation on page 18, and the accessory catalog.
¾ PVC conduit.
¾ If your gate is more than 1000' away from an
AC power source you will need to use at least
one Mighty Mule solar panel to trickle charge the
battery. See the accessory catalog (Do not use both
transformer and solar).
¾ If you have thin-walled tube or panel gates, see
Recommended Reinforcement Examples after Step 3
of “Mounting Operator to Gate”.
¾ Depending on the type of gate, a horizontal
cross member or mounting plate may be needed
to mount the front of the operator and gate
bracket to the gate. See Gate Bracket Mounting
Examples after Step 3 of “Gate Operator
Installation.”
¾ Surge protection for transformer.
¾ Some types of installations require u-bolts.
¾ Additional washers or a metal plate may be
needed for wooden post.
¾ Weatherproof cover for outdoor outlet and
transformer.
¾ If the post is larger than 6”, bolts longer than 8”
are needed.
