NOTE: Ensure the gate opener
(actuator) and the push-to-open
bracket do not bind in the gate-
open and gate-closed positions.
Step 3 (fig. 36)
Start with the gate in the closed position and
with the gate opener (actuator) in its retract-
ed (closed) position. Then place the gate
opener (actuator) with the gate bracket and
post mount bracket assembly onto the gate
post and the gate. Position the gate bracket
and the post mount bracket assembly so that
the gate opener (actuator) is level with the
horizontal cross member of the gate.
NOTE: The gate opener (actuator) should be
positioned approximately in the middle
between the top and bottom of the gate.
While holding the gate opener (actuator) in
the desired level position use two C-clamps:
use one to temporarily secure the gate brack-
et to the gate. Use the other to temporarily
secure the post mount bracket assembly to
the gate post.
Step 4 (fig. 37)
Determine the position of the push-to-open
bracket on the post mount bracket assembly
by ensuring a 2” minimum clearance is
maintained between the gate and the gate
opener (actuator) in both the gate-open and
gate-closed positions. To ensure the minimum 2” clear-
ance is maintained in the gate closed position, remove
the clevis pin from the gate bracket while holding the
gate opener (actuator) and then close the gate. Move
the gate opener (actuator) so the gate bracket and the
gate opener (actuator) are aligned. Ensure that a 2”
clearance is maintained.
NOTE: If the proper clearance cannot be found, turn
over the pivot bracket to try different alignment posi-
tions. You may also move the post push-to-open bracket
assembly slightly to the right or left to obtain the prop-
er clearances.
When the desired position of the push-to-open bracket
is found, place the 5/16 x 1-3/4” bolt into the desired
pivot hole on the post mount bracket.
NOTE: Refer to page 24 for setting DIP Switch 4 in the
correct push-to-open mode.
Step 5
Repeat Steps 1 through 4 of this section for the second
gate opener (actuator).
When the push-to-open installation is complete go to
the bracket mounting section on
page 13.
Swinging gates must not open into public
access areas.
