PAD AND MOUNT

Figure 2.  Pad and Mount.

1.  The concrete pad must be sufficient to support the gate operator and the dynamic forces

created by the moving gate.  LiftMaster recommends a pad 20” wide by 22” long by 20” deep.

2.  Four anchor bolts are required to secure the gate operator to the pad.  The mounting holes in

the gate operator are 5/8” in diameter.  L-bolts ½” x 6“ are recommended.

3.  The pad should be level and about 4” above grade to prevent water entrance.  Allow concrete

to set at least two days before installing gate.

4.  Be sure to provide access for wiring conduits.  In 

Master/Slave

 systems, remember to include

conduit stubs for separate inputs (if any) and for the Master/Slave connection cable between
gate operators.  For more information, see Installation and Operation of Master/Slave Systems
for Series B1 Gate Operators Doc. No. 6001378, Part 1.

NOTE:

  The only access area for the conduit stub is at the center of the pad, indicated as the

shaded area in Figure 2 Top View

.  

Allow a minimum three-foot-long conduit stub.
