Installation manual

8. Securely concrete the pedestal into position making sure that it is vertical, and at the correct
height relative to the gate bracket, as shown in Fig. 12. Allow concrete sufficient time to cure.
In the case of a wall mount installation, securely fix the wall mount bracket in the determined position
to the wall or pillar using four M12 Rawl bolts.
Fasten Gearbox in Position
9. Fasten the motor onto the pedestal adaptor plate or wall bracket, as shown in Fig. 14, using the M8
bolts and spring washers as supplied.
Determine Drive Arm Length
10. Depending on the particular installation type, determine the drive arm length as follows:
For Standard Pedestal & Outward Opening Gates:
Measure dimensions L (long) and S (short) as in Fig. 15 and calculate the drive arm length D as
shown in Fig. 15. DO NOT CUT THE DRIVE ARM TO THIS LENGTH. Cut the drive arm at least 50mm
longer than D. The cut length is therefore = D +50mm. (See Fig. 16)
For Pedestal Mounted Installations With Limited Space:
From the tables on Fig. 8, determine the drive arm length D, and select the boldface value if the motor
is mounted in the recommended. DO NOT CUT THE DRIVE ARM TO THIS LENGTH. Cut the drive
arm at least 50mm longer than D. The cut length is therefore = D + 50mm (see Fig. 16)
Assemble the drive arm and connecting arm as in steps 11 to 18 and check the gate operation
• If the drive arm interferes with the gate or,
• If the ball joint on the drive arm is more than 30mm from the obstructing wall, then,
Shorten the drive arm by 25mm and repeat the process until the gate operates smoothly.
