Gate Mounting Bracket and Chain
Assembly
Your gate should be hung level and move freely by hand in
both directions before attaching the operator drive chain.
Slide the gate to the fully open position. Line up the slot
in the chain mounting bracket with the bottom of the idler
wheel on the operator. Mark the leading edge of the gate
frame using the chain mounting bracket as a template. Drill
and mount the chain mounting bracket as shown in Figure
3 .
Slide the gate to the folly closed position and mount the
other chain mounting bracket to the rear edge of the gate
frame the same way.
Attach the chain to both chain mounting brackets as shown
in Figure 4, route the chain through the operator as shown
in Figure 5.
Install chain support brackets as shown in Figure 6A or 6B
as applicable to gate style. Brackets should support the
chain but must not hit the operator. See Figure 1.
Adjust the chain to have 1-2” of sag between the chain
supports as shown in Figure 2.
