IF THIS OPENER WILL BE USED WITH GATES THAT ARE MOUNTED ON MASONRY, BRICK,
OR ROCK (etc.) COLUMNS, READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
A. The simplest solution is to install the opener in a
push-to-open configuration (requires push-to-open
bracket, see accessory catalog). The minimum
clearance is easier to achieve and clearance is no
longer a problem, since the opener will be pushing
the gate away from the column instead of pull-
ing it toward the column. It is recommended that
you place a steel plate between the opener mount-
ing brackets and masonry surface for additional
strength.

B. If a push-to-open installation is impossible due to
traffic hazards, terrain, etc., another option is to
re-hang the gate. You may hang it on a post, either
in the center of the column or at the back corner, or
move the gate to the back corner of the columns.
C. The most difficult solution is to cut a notch in the
column to accommodate the opener and power
cable. This job is NOT for the inexperienced!
