GATE OPERATOR INSTALLATION
Plans of Installation
The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is provided
between the gate and adjacent structures to reduce the risk of entrapment when
opening and closing. Swing gates are not to open into public access areas.
STEP 1
Top Gate Hinge:
Ensure the center of the Top Hinge is
2.50" from the mounting surface.
!
TIP:
If the hinge center is less than 2.50"
from the surface, clearance will have to
be cut into the lower mounting surface
to allow the center of the articulation
point to align to the hinge used.
STEP 2
Prepare for in-ground installation:
a. Use a Plumb Bob and mark a center
reference for the Articulation Point of
the Gate Operator.
b. Mark the surface area to be worked.
c. Prepare the surface area for the Gate
Operator. Ensure the operator will sit
level and that the Articulation Point will
be aligned with the Upper Hinge.
