Preparation for Installation
There are two installation types for the gate opener,
Pull-to-Open
and
Push-to-Open.
In the
Push-to-Open
installation, gate opens out from the property. A Push-To-Open Bracket (
PSO part
) is
required to be used for each gate.
The gate opener is mounted to the gate and to the gate post. Both round and square posts can be used
because the Post Brackets are curved. When mounting the Post Brackets, use bolts long enough to pass
through the entire post. M10 x 200 bolts are included. Concrete anchors are not provided.
When mounting the Post Brackets to wooden posts, a larger-size washer or metal plate should be used
between the bolts and the wooden post to ensure the stability of the fastening hardware. If the post is smaller
than 6" diameter or square, it should be made of metal and set in cement to ensure its stability.
Install the Opener on the Gate –
for Pull to Open
The position of Post Bracket is very important. The following illustrations and tables are required to determine
the proper mounting position for the Post Bracket. The tables show the maximum opening angle of the gate for
a given A and B. For example, if A is 19cm and B is 15cm, the maximum opening angle of the gate is 106°

Ensure the gate does not open into public areas. One more person will help when installing.
