Page 9: Step 1: Installing The Base
Installation Step 1: Installing the Base The base, also known as a pad is a raised platform. We recommend using a concrete base. Lay out position of 6 wedge anchors by measuring clearance between anchors and inside edge of gate. Figure 1 Install underground conduits in area for conduits. - Page 10 Installation Step 2: Door arm installation Figure 3 After you're satisfied with testing the arm in the full open and closed positions, weld gate bracket and arm. Figure 4 Should be at least 1/4 the gate length. NOTE: Uphill or heavy gates should be at least 1/3 gate length.
- Page 11 Installation Figure 5 A. DO NOT allow the arm to touch the gate operator's hood when the gate is in the open position. Too much stress is put on the arm in this position during gate operation. Figure 6 Preferred arm position is 90° from the open gate. NOTE: If dimension between open gate and wall is 20"...
- Page 12 Installation Figure 7 Support bar should be installed at the gate bracket height across the entire gate to keep the gate pickets from bending.
