Battery Installation
NOTE: The battery that accompanies the Zareba
Automatic Gate Opener will already be installed in
either the left or right battery compartment. The extra
battery compartment accommodates an optional sec-
ond battery.
NOTE: Upon initial installation, the battery may not be
charged adequately. To ensure proper operation allow
the battery to charge prior to operation. The battery
can be charged in one of two ways:
1. Disconnect the battery from the control board, and
hook up to a 2 amp battery charger.
2. Ensure battery and AC power is properly connected.
Do not operate the gate for 4 hours allowing the
battery to charge.
Step 12 (fig. 22)
Ensure the battery is secure by inserting the battery
strap through the battery strap slots in the battery
compartment.

Installation of the Gate Openers
(Actuators)
Step 10 (fig. 20)
Attach the gate openers (actuators) to the securely fas-
tened gate brackets and post mount bracket assemblies
by using the four clevis pins. Insert one clevis pin
through the gate opener (actuator) and the gate brack-
et. Insert the other clevis pin through the gate opener
(actuator) and the post mount bracket assembly. Secure
the clevis pins with the two clevis pin clips.
NOTE: At this point, the gate openers (actuators) and
all the brackets should be installed. Before continuing,
check to ensure that the gate is plumb and swings
freely. Ensure the gate openers (actuators) are level and
securely mounted.
NOTE: Zareba does not recommend mounting the actu-
ator in any way inconsistent with the illustration shown
(fig. 20).
Installation of the Control Box
Step 11 (fig. 21)
Remove the control box cover by removing the four
screws. To mount the control box use the #8 x 2” deck
screws. The control box mounting holes are placed in var-
ious positions to allow many mounting configurations.
When mounting the control box use at least two #8 x 2”
deck screws on the top portion of the control box.
NOTE: Ensure the control box is mounted to a secure
surface and at least three feet above the ground to pro-
tect it from rain, snow, and other conditions.
