Before installing the VS-GSLG, read this manual completely to ensure all requirements for proper installation are present.
Verify that the voltage to be used matches the voltage of the operator.
IMPORTANT:
The gate must operate properly to assure trouble-free installation. Before installing the gate operator to the
gate, make sure the gate's slide is free and unobstructed. If the gate doesn't seem to operate properly, it
may affect the operator performance or greatly shorten the life of the unit.
NOTE:
These instructions are for an operator on the right side of the opening, when viewed from the inside looking out.
Left-hand installation is simply transposed.
LOCATING AND INSTALLING POSTS
Locate and secure two galvanized posts (3" ID, 3 1/2" OD; see
drawing #2700-152). Embed the posts in concrete to a depth
required by local code or below the frost line.

OPERATOR INSTALLATION

Attach the operator to the posts using the U-Bolts and side
plates provided (see drawing #2700-223). The operator can be
adjusted vertically to suit; 12" to 18" from the bottom of the idler
sprockets (chain line) would be normal. See drawing #2700-152
for additional installation information.
CHAIN BRACKET INSTALLATION
Slide the gate to the fully closed position. Secure the chain
bracket on the vertical post of the back frame with the chain
bolt level with the bottom of the idler sprockets.
Slide the gate to the fully open position and secure the front
chain bracket on the front vertical post of the gate. Once again,
the chain bolt hole should be level with the bottom of the idler
sprockets.
