Linear HSLG, Installation Manual

HSLG OPERATOR INSTALLATION GUIDE

- 6 -

Assemble a gate bracket (1) to the front edge of the gate, 
using two U-bolts (2), and mounting hardware (3). Before 
tightening down completely, be sure the bracket is paral-
lel to the gate. Tighten the U-bolt hardware the rest of the 
way, then screw the square head bolts (4) into the threaded 
holes in the gate plate until they bottom out against the 
gate.  These will help keep the bracket from twisting on 
the pipe.

Slide a threaded chain pin (5) through the bracket as shown, 
with spring (6), fl at washer (10), and two hex nuts (7).
Attach one end of the drive chain (8) to the chain pin using 
master link (9) and begin unrolling it toward the operator.

Remove the rain cover from the back of the slide gate op-
erator. Carefully thread the drive chain under the fi rst idler, 
over the drive sprocket, and then under the last idler. Make 
sure you feed most of the chain through the sprockets for 
attaching to the back end of the gate.

Assemble the other gate bracket on the rear edge of the 
gate, using the same process as you did with the front gate 
bracket. Once this is done, take the other chain pin, spring 
and jam nuts and assemble with the end of drive chain and 
the other master link.

At this point you should be able to adjust the chain tension 
by tightening the jam nuts on each end. Approximately 1/4” 
to 3/8” of slack per foot of drive chain is acceptable. Make 
sure the chain does not drag on the ground, across the 
gate rollers or the idler frame of the operator.

Additional mounting holes have been provided in the gate 
bracket for installer convenience.
