GATE OPERATOR INSTALLATION
! TECHNICAL TIP: Before completing the installation procedure;
•
Open and close the gate manually, making sure there is suf cient space between the gate
and adjacent walls.
•
Check that the wheels are turning freely on the track and there are no restrictions while
pushing the gate to the open and closed positions.
•
Con rm that there is adequate spacing for the guide rollers and that there are no
restrictions throughout the travel of the gate.
STEP 2
Chain Installation: Before welding the provided
chain brackets, make sure the chain will be in
a straight line with, and at the same height as,
the chain leaving the gate operator rollers.
STEP 1
Before securing the chassis to the concrete pad
or posts, make sure the gate and operator are
LEVEL and PARALLEL.
Minimum distance between the center of the
chain and the inside edge of the gate frame is 4”.
STEP 3
Chain Tension: The chain tension has a direct
effect on the motor current draw, or work
that the motor is performing. Adjust the Chain
to provide 6” of slack measured from the
imaginary taut line, straight down to the lowest
point of the chain as illustrated below.
