Determine Horizontal Mounting Location (PRO80 or HD)
Now that the type of installation (pull to open or push to open) has been determined, the vertical
height position of the support bracket and actuator mounting tube must be determined. Refer to these
examples to determine the mounting location of the gate bracket on the gate, which is needed to
determine the location of the actuator mounting tube.
The actuator delivers force on the gate when operating. Aligning the actuator mounts with a horizontal
gate frame member is the best choice. (as shown here)
Installation of a horizontal brace may be necessary to prevent damage to vertical gate pickets.
Avoid mounting actuator on bottom rail of gate. Unit will be more likely to be damaged by ooding and
will be difcult to service and adjust.
