10 - PUSH TO OPEN INSTALLATION
10.1 - PIVOT ARM INSTALLATION - Location of Pivot Point
Measurements are taken from the center of pivot of the gate hinge.
The pivot arm needs to be securely mounted to the hinge post or equivalent mounting surface. It is recommended
to weld the pivot arm to a metal post. In order to achieve the correct articulation, geometry and rate of speed of the
gate it is critical that the measurements below are followed. The pivot arm may need to be cut to achieve the correct
placement of the actuator mounting hole. Measurements are taken from the center of pivot of the gate hinge.

10.2 - Vertical position of pivot arm
The top edge of the Pivot Arm will be located 1/2"
below the center line for the gate bracket. The
Pivot Arm must be level when secured.
11 - ACTUATOR MOUNTING
Mount the actuator to the pivot arm as shown.
Please notice the washer goes above the actuator
flange.
The lock nut should be tight to prevent movement or
shifting when the actuator is running. This will also
prevent excessive "bounce" or "wobble" when the gate
stops moving.
