Mounting The Drive Unit
The Elite® swing gate opener is designed to operate
most residential swing gates. The gates must be in
good working condition and should operate by hand
relatively freely. Wind loading may affect the operation
of the opener in high wind areas. Correct obstruction
and reversing settings should be chosen for trouble
free operation.
Pre-installation Inspection
Before commencing installation, check the following:
1. The gate moves freely by hand for the full length of
open and close travel.
2. The pier or post for mounting must be of solid
construction (Brick, solid timber or steel). It must
bear most of the force applied by the drive unit.
3. A weatherproof 240V 10A general purpose power
point should be available within one metre of the
pier/post. If Elite® gate openers are required,
provision for underground cabling should be made
from one post to the other.
