Gate Arm (Actuator) Installation

The YG-5602 gate operator operates by forcing a worm gear to extend inside each
actuator pushing or pulling the gate open.
Install the actuator mechanism inside of the property, inside of the fence, so that it cannot
be tampered with from outside of your property. Initially mount the actuators on the gate
so that the gate is open.
Be sure to unlock the linear actuators with the key.

Determine Gate Open Direction

Begin with both openers unlocked. Next, identify if this will be a "push to open" or a
"pull to open" installation. In either configuration, the gate mounts on one face of the
mounting post, and the opener mounts on the face 90 degrees from it.
The following sections explain the "push to open" and "pull to open" configurations.
