7. Installation Overview Pull-To-Open Gates (Gate Opens into the Property) The diagram shown below is an example of a Pull-To-Open installation on a chain link fence and single gate. Mounting the operator on a masonry column requires special procedures; see Column Installation Information on page 23. Furthermore, if you have a Push-To-Open gate, see Push-To-Open Installation on page 21 before proceeding.
Step 1 Close the gate and place your level against the horizontal cross member. Position the level so that the top should be in the center of the cross member and overlaps the post. Scribe a line across the cross member and post. You will use this line to help determine position of post and gate brackets. Step 2 Position the post bracket on the post with the mounting holes centered over the scribe line. The post bracket should be flush with the edge of the post closest to the gate.
Step 5 Position the operator rear mount between post pivot bracket. Place a 1/2” bushing above the rear mount and a 3/16” bushing under the rear mount. Align the hole in rear mount, bushings and post pivot bracket and secure with the 3 1/2” clevis pin and hair pin clip.
Step 8 Remove the clevis pin from the front mount and while supporting the gate operator, swing the gate and gate operator to the closed position. With the gate and gate operator in the closed position check the clearance and be sure Gate in the Clamp 2" minimum CLOSED POSITION that the gate operator is not binding at Pinch Area the post pivot bracket.
Install Closed Position Stop Plate The closed position stop plate helps to stabilize the gate leaf in the closed position. To further enhance the stability and security of your gate, install the optional GTO Automatic Gate Lock [FM144] Gate Hinge Closed Position Stop Plate Step 11 Remove hairpin, clevis pin, and 3/16” bushing from front mount and close the gate.
Mount the Control Box and Receiver Step 1 Mount the control box using the screws (provided) or another secure mounting method. The control box must be mounted at least 3 feet above the ground to protect it from rain splash, snow, etc., and at least 3 feet from an AC power source to prevent electrical interference. 25 STALL FORCE STATUS BATT+ LEARN RMT BATT- 120 OFF SOFT START OFF WARNING OFF OPEN PULL SLV OPEN DLY.
