Connecting Power to the Operator
Have a licensed electrician run 115 Vac wiring into a Field Wiring Connection Compartment (ON/OFF) box. The
115 Vac line will power the gate operator system. The circuit must be protected with a 15 A main disconnect breaker
(not provided).
NOTE: Power and wiring connections MUST be installed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC
(National Electric Code) and local codes.
NEVER run low voltage (e.g., accessory or receiver) wires in conduit containing 115 Vac wiring.
After the gate operator is connected to the 115 Vac power supply, the limit switches can be set. See ADJUSTING
THE LIMIT SWITCHES on the next page.

Connecting the Gate Arm Assembly
1. Fit the end of the reducer arm
on the end of the upper spline
(see illustration at right).
Align the bolt holes of the
parts and join them with (1)
1
/
2
” bolt.
2. Fit the ends of the reducer
arm, stop bracket and gate
arm together (see
illustration). Align the bolt
holes of the parts and join
them with (1)
1
/
2
” bolt and
(1) Nyloc nut.
To prevent hands and fingers
from being pinched, fasten the knuckle cover over the knuckle joint of
the gate arm with (2)
1
/
2”
x 1” bolts. NOTE: Make sure warning decals (2) are affixed
to the knuckle cover.
3. Attach the adjusting bracket to the gate arm with (2)
1
/
2
” bolts, nuts,
and washers.
4. Attach the gate bracket to the end of the adjusting bracket with (1)
1
/
2”
bolt and (1) Nyloc nut.
5. Swing the gate to its fully closed position. Pivot the gate arm assembly toward the gate until it is fully extended.
Make sure that the gate arm assembly is level. Using the height of the level gate arm assembly as a reference,
clamp a support bar (not provided) for the gate bracket to the gate.
6. Attach the gate bracket to the support bar with (2)
1
/
2
” bolts, lock washers, and nuts (not provided).
7. Swing the gate through its full operating arc to verify that the gate arm retracts and extends without binding.
Opening and closing the gate in this manner will also test the clearance between the gate and the operator.
8. Permanently bolt or weld the support bar to the gate once its correct position has been determined.
