Tools Needed
During assembly, installation and adjustment of the
operator, instructions will call for tools as illustrated below.
CONTROL BOX MOUNTING HARDWARE
• Mounting to Wood:
Four #8 x 1-1/2" wood screws
• Mounting to Brick/Cement/Masonry:
Four 1/4" masonry screws 1-3/4" long
• Mounting to Metal:
Four #10-32 machine screws with washers and
lock nuts
GATE BRACKET MOUNTING HARDWARE
For 1 or 2 inch circular or square tubular constructed
gates, use the following U-bolts with associated flat
washers and hex nuts:
• 1" use 5/16-18 x 2-3/16" U-bolt (Qty. 2)
• 2" use 5/16-18 x 3-3/16" U-bolt (Qty 2)
To secure the bracket to the gate, use the following
hardware: 1/4-20 x 3" hex head bolt with associated flat
washers, lock washers and hex nuts (Qty 2).
For gates with flat mounting surfaces and a maximum
thickness 2", an alternate to using U-bolts would be:
5/16-18 x 3" hex head bolt with associated flat washers,
lock washers and hex head nuts (Qty 4).
For chain link fences or other types with circular rails, it is
best to attach a vertical support panel connecting the top
rail to the bottom rail. The gate bracket can then be
mounted to this vertical panel using the same bolts,
washers and nuts as mentioned above.
POST BRACKET MOUNTING HARDWARE
Two 3/8-16 x 16" carriage bolts with flat washers, lock
washers and lock nuts.
LOW-VOLTAGE WIRE (2-Conductor)
Stranded, UL listed, direct burial, UV resistant landscape
lighting wire. (Use table below to determine wire gauge
requirements.)
• Chamberlain®Model 917GA
THE PROTECTOR SYSTEM®SAFETY SENSORS
2 pair of UL listed, outdoor, infrared safety sensors.
• Chamberlain Model 916GA
See page 25 for more information.
Additional Items For Purchase
The following items are REQUIRED to complete
the installation.
* UL Listed, Stranded, Direct Burial, UV Resistant Wire
Installed per the National Electric Code, NEC.

1 READ and FOLLOW all instructions.
2. The gate operator is intended for use with Class I
vehicular swing gates.
Class I denotes a vehicular gate operator (or system)
intended for use in a home of one to four single family
dwellings, or a garage or parking area associated therewith.
3. Gate operating system designers, installers and users
must take into account the possible hazards associated
with each individual application. Improperly designed,
installed or maintained systems can create risks for the
user as well as the bystander. Gate system design and
installation must reduce public exposure to potential
hazards. All exposed pinch points must be eliminated
or guarded.
4. A gate operator can create high levels of force during
normal operation. Therefore, safety features must be
incorporated into every installation. Specific safety
features include:
• Safety Sensors
5. The gate must be properly installed and work freely in
both directions prior to the installation of the gate operator.
6. The gate must be installed in a location so that enough
clearance is provided between the gate and adjacent
structures when opening and closing to reduce the risk
of entrapment.
7. The operator is intended for use only on gates used for
vehicles. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate
access opening. The pedestrian access opening shall
be designed to promote pedestrian usage. The
pedestrian access shall be located such that persons
will not come in contact with the moving vehicular gate
during the entire travel of the gate.
8. Pedestrians should never cross the pathway of a
moving gate. The gate operator is not acceptable for
use on any pedestrian gate. Pedestrians must be
supplied with a separate pedestrian access.
9. For an installation utilizing non-contact sensors, see page
26 on the placement of non-contact sensors for each
type of application.
a. Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance
tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the sensor while
the gate is still moving.
b. One or more non-contact sensors shall be located
where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists,
such as the perimeter reachable by a moving gate or
barrier.
10. Never mount any device that operates the gate
operator where the user can reach over, under, around
or through the gate to operate the controls. Controls
are to be placed at least 6' (1.8 m) from any part of the
moving gate:
• A hard wired control shall be located and its wiring
arranged so that communication between the control
and the gate operator is not subject to mechanical
damage.
11. Controls intended to be used to reset an operator
after 2 sequential activations of the entrapment
protection device or devices must be located in the
line of sight of the gate, or easily accessible
controls shall have a security feature to prevent
unauthorized use. Never allow anyone to hang on
or ride the gate.
Safety Installation Information
5 Introduction

Introduction 6
12. Each gate operator is provided with two safety
warning placards. The placards are to be installed on
the front and back of the gate where they are plainly
visible. The placards may be mounted using sheet
metal screws through the Four holes provided on
each placard.
All warning signs and placards must be installed
where visible in the area of the gate.
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a moving gate:
• Install warning signs on the front and back of the gate in
PLAIN VIEW.
• Permanently secure each warning sign in a suitable manner
using fastening holes.
