AUTOMATIC GATE OPENER

Push-to-Open Installation
CAUTION!
Ensure the gate does not open into public
areas and does not interfere with traffic or cause traffic
hazards.
In a push-to-open installation, the gate opener (actua-
tor) is installed while the gate is in the closed position
and the gate opens out from the property.
NOTE:
The optional push-to-open bracket is longer
than the pivot bracket included with this kit, and is
required for this installation (part #GAB1). You will
need two push-to-open brackets for a dual gate
installation.
Step 1
(fig. 32)
Assemble the post mount bracket assembly by placing
the push-to-open bracket in between the two post
mount brackets. Insert the 3/8” x 2” hex bolt through
the center hole of the two post mount brackets and the
push-to-open bracket. Place a 3/8” washer, a 3/8” lock
washer, and a 3/8” hex nut on the bottom of the 3/8” x
2” hex bolt and hand tighten.
Step 2
(fig. 33a and 33b)
NOTE: Gate opener (actuator) should be in the retracted
or closed position before attaching the gate bracket and
the post mount bracket assembly.
Attach the gate bracket and the post mount bracket
assembly to the gate opener (actuator) by inserting a
clevis pin through the holes in the gate bracket and the
post push-to-open bracket. Secure the clevis pins using
the clevis pin clips.
