2. Check Direction of Gate Swing
The E-Z GATE Opener is designed for
PULL-TO-OPEN
installations.
PUSH-TO-OPEN
installations require two Push-To-
Open brackets [E-Z GATE Push Bracket]. Push-to-Open Installation Instructions begin on page 19.
3. Prepare the Gates
• Gates must be plumb, level, and swing freely on their hinges.
• Wheels must
NOT
be attached to the gates.
• The gates must move throughout their arcs
without binding or dragging on the ground.
• Note that gates
over 250 lbs. should have ball bearing hinges
with grease fittings.
• The gate post should be be secured in the ground with concrete so it will minimize twist or flex when the opener
is activated.
• Make sure there is a stable area for mounting the gate bracket (this may require the addition of a horizontal or
vertical cross member).
• Trench the driveway in order to lay PVC conduit for the second opener power cable (see overview illustration on
page 6).
