6.
Secure the operator to the rear bracket using the
appropriate bolt supplied, as indicated in Figure 15.
7.
Bring the leaf of the gate to the close position.
8.
Bring the operator, together with the related bracket,
alongside the leaf.
9.
Check that the operator is horizontal using a level, as
indicated in Figure 16, and temporarily secure it with
clamps or two welding points.
The axis of the securing holes of the front bracket must
be aligned with the axis of the securing holes of the rear
bracket, see Figure 17.
If the structure of the gate does not permit reliable
mounting, the structure of the gate must be reinforced
to provide a solid supporting base.
10.
Prepare the operator for manual operation, see Section
5, and move the leaf manually, checking that it completes
the entire opening operation required, stopping at the
mechanical stops.
If, during the test, the operator hits the leaf of the gate,
value
E
may be increased, see Figure 4, up to a maximum
of 4
½
inches, using appropriate spacers placed between
the front bracket and the leaf of the gate.
11.
Perform any corrective measures necessary and repeat
the procedures from Step 9.
12.
Permanently secure the front bracket, using a suitable
securing system as indicated in Figure 18.
If it is decided to weld the bracket directly onto the leaf,
the operator must be released temporarily. Wait for the
bracket to cool before reattaching the operator.

Move the mechanical stop until it is close to the front
fitting, as indicated in Figure 20.
