Determining The Mounting Position
of The Post Bracket Assembly
Step 1
With the gates closed, adjust the post bracket assembly and the gate
bracket until the operator is level. While holding the operator level,
use C-clamps to temporarily keep the post bracket assembly and
gate bracket in their respective positions on the fence post and gate.
Push to Open Installation
Swinging gates shall not open into public access areas!
A "Push-to-Open" gate opens out from the property.
A PRO-SW4000 Push-to-Open Bracket is required for this type
of installation (see Accessory Catalog). If you have a pull-to-open
gate (gate opens into the property), return to page 13.
In a PUSH-TO-OPEN installation the operators are installed while
the gates are in the closed position.
Step 2
After verifying that you have the best position for
the post pivot bracket, insert the

through the aligned holes of the post bracket and
post pivot bracket and fasten it with the

washer and nut.
IMPORTANT: If you loosened the clamp on the
post bracket to achieve the optimum position,
tighten it in its new position and recheck the gate
bracket with the gate in the open position (move the
gate bracket and re-clamp it if necessary).
IMPORTANT:
While determining the mounting point for the post
pivot bracket assembly be sure that the position allows for maximum
clearance between the gate and the operator in both the open and closed
positions, as shown in the diagrams below. This clearance will give the
operator the most efficient leverage point for opening and closing the
gate and more importantly provides the least possible pinch area.
