Operator Preparation
Vent Plug Installation
In order to keep gear oil from spilling out during shipping,
gear reducers used in gate operators have either a solid
plug, or a sealed vent plug, installed at the factory.
For operators with a solid plug, replace the solid plug
with the vent plug provided (see Figure 2).
With the vent plug installed, remove the vent plug's
breather pin to allow the gear box to vent (see Figure 2).
Gate Arm Installation
The gate arm connects the operator to the gate. The
arm supplied can be used in left-hand or right-hand
installations. After the proper length of the crank extension
and link section of the arm has been determined, the arm
is welded to complete the assembly.
Setting Left or Right Hand Configuration
The welded style gate arm has been pre-assembled at
the factory in right-hand configuration (the back of the
overtravel stop faces toward the drive when the gate
is fully closed and the arm is installed). For a left-hand
operator, rotate the upper portion of the arm as shown in
Figure 3 to convert the arm into a left-hand orientation.
Gate Plate Installation
The gate plate mounts on the gate at the recommended
height (24-7/8" above the top of the operator pad).
The gate plate supplied with the arm assembly can be
welded to the gate as shown in Figure 4. Holes have been
provided for securing the gate plate to an aluminum gate.
