    Secure the operator to the rear bracket using the supplied bolt, as indicated in Fig. 15. Fig. 17 Disengage the operator’s manual release (see Par. 3) and move the leaf manually, checking that it completes the entire swing, stopping at the mechanical stops. If during this test the operator hits the leaf of the gate, the value E may be increased, (see Fig.
