ATTACH THE CHAIN

DO NOT run the operator until instructed.
1. Manually open the gate and line up the front bracket so the chain will be level with the idler pulley and parallel to the ground. Weld the front
bracket in this position.
2. Manually close the gate and line up the rear bracket so the chain will be level with the idler pulley and parallel to the ground. Weld the rear
bracket in this position.
3. Route the chain through the operator.
4. Connect the chain to the brackets using the eye bolt hardware. Chain should not be too tight or have excessive slack.
5. Remove the pin from the vent plug on the gear box.
The chain should have no more than 1 inch of sag for every 10 feet of chain length.
