Because automatic gate openers produce high levels of force, consumers need to know the potential hazards associated with improperly designed, installed, and maintained automated gate opener systems. Keep in mind that the gate opener is just one component of the total gate operating system. Each component must work in unison to provide convenience, security, and safety.

Re-enforced Gate - Metal Thin walled tube gates – Recommend using a muffler clamp, wood or metal to re-enforce. Panel gates / Palisade gates – Recommend using wood / metal strips to re-enforce. These re-enforcement methods will prevent damage to the opener and the gate when the opener is installed. Gate Preparation The gate must be plumb, level and swing freely on its hinges.

FIG B In this scenario the gate can open with an angle greater than 90 degrees: Diamond 3Ti = 110 degrees maximum. Diamond 4Ti = 120 degrees maximum. The best approach is to put the fixing brackets at the measures indicated in the table on the next page to achieve initial 90 degrees open angle.
