Tools Needed
During assembly, installation and adjustment of the
operator, instructions will call for tools as illustrated below.
CONTROL BOX MOUNTING HARDWARE
• Mounting to Wood:
Four #8 x 1-1/2" wood screws
• Mounting to Brick/Cement/Masonry:
Four 1/4" masonry screws 1-3/4" long
• Mounting to Metal:
Four #10-32 machine screws with washers and
lock nuts
GATE BRACKET MOUNTING HARDWARE
For 1 or 2 inch circular or square tubular constructed
gates, use the following U-bolts with associated flat
washers and hex nuts:
• 1" use 5/16-18 x 2-3/16" U-bolt (Qty. 2)
• 2" use 5/16-18 x 3-3/16" U-bolt (Qty 2)
To secure the bracket to the gate, use the following
hardware: 1/4-20 x 3" hex head bolt with associated flat
washers, lock washers and hex nuts (Qty 2).
For gates with flat mounting surfaces and a maximum
thickness 2", an alternate to using U-bolts would be:
5/16-18 x 3" hex head bolt with associated flat washers,
lock washers and hex head nuts (Qty 4).
For chain link fences or other types with circular rails, it is
best to attach a vertical support panel connecting the top
rail to the bottom rail. The gate bracket can then be
mounted to this vertical panel using the same bolts,
washers and nuts as mentioned above.

Two 3/8-16 x 16" carriage bolts with flat washers, lock
washers and lock nuts.
