!It is highly recommended that you reconsider using this type of gate operator on
any solid faced gate, without an external lock system on both the open and
closed position. Strong winds will greatly affect the efficiency of this operator on
these types of gates.
IMPORTANT NOTE
The gate must be level and operate smoothly and freely. If it does not, damage
to the operator may result and the life expectancy will be greatly reduced.

6Safety Information
Doc 01-20238
Rev B
Safety Information
Automatic gate operators provide convenience and security to their users. However,
because these machines can produce high levels of force, it is important that all
installers and users be aware oft he potential hazards associated with improperly
installed or adjusted units.
The information on this page contains various safety precautions and warnings, some
highlighted with this symbol (see left margin). This symbol will identify conditions that
can result in serious injury or death. Take time to read and follow these precautions
and the other information provided.
NOTE
This operator is intended to be a part of a total gate operating system. It is the
responsibility of the purchaser and installer to ensure that the total system is safe
for its intended use.
Installer
BEFORE INSTALLATION
1 Check to see that this is the proper operator for this application. (See page
4).
2 Ensure that the gate has been properly installed and works freely in both
directions. Repair or service any worn or damaged gate hardware.
3 Install the gate operator on the inside of the property and/or fence line. Do
not install an operator on the public side of the gate.
4 If the gate is near a residential area, or pedestrian traffic is expected near the
gate, additional safety equipment such as electric gate edges or photocell
detectors must be installed to prevent entrapment. Severe injury or death
can result from entrapment with the gate.
5 Certain types of gates can create greater hazards to pedestrians. Any gate
that has exposed, reachable pinch points or is constructed to allow arms and
legs to pass through it is a potential hazard. These hazards should be
guarded against.
6 Review the operation of the unit and become familiar with the manual
disconnect system and safety features of the unit.
7 Outdoor or easily accessed controls should be of the security type to prohibit
unauthorized use of the gate.

Safety Information 7
Doc 01-20238

Installation
Step 1: Gate Stops
The gate must have a permanent gate stop at the full closed position. It is also highly
recommended that there be a gate stop at the determined full open position. These are
to prevent the piston from bottoming in the cylinder and to prolong the unit’s life.
Step 2: Gate Brackets
1 Locate the positions of the front and rear mounting brackets. It is
recommended that these brackets be positioned at the midpoint between the
gate hinges.
It is very important that they be in-line with each other! The operator
must be level.
2 The two brackets should be welded to the
gate and the post as shown. They can be
welded directly or modified to suit your
particular application.
Do not weld brackets with
operator attached. Avoid getting weld splatter on the piston rod.
Keep piston rod clean and smooth. Avoid nicks.

Step 3: Optional Mounting
OUTWARD SWING
WARNING
Do not install outward swing gates in applications where gates will swing
into public area. Serious injury could result from someone being hit by the
gate. Use outward swing gates only in applications where the gate will
open into secure area and where the person operating the gate has
control of traffic in the path of the gate.
Do not use the “Open Only” mode of the controller for an outward swing
gate installation.
A. Gate stops must be used at both the full open and close positions (see Step
1).
B. Follow Step 2 for mounting of gate brackets. The difference being that the rear
mounting point is 5” to the right of the hinge point instead of 5” to the left as
shown in Step 2 (distance between mounting points is 27-1/2” instead of 37-
1/2”).
C. The piston rod should be fully retracted when the gate is in the closed position.
The unit should be mounted with the gate in the closed position (see Step 4).
D. Proceed to Step 5. Follow wiring for outward swing.
LARGE PILLARS OR WALLS
If the dimension from the centerline of the gate to the outer edge of the pillar or wall
is 3-3/4” or less, you can notch out part of the pillar or wall (see Example A – Figure
4) as shown.
If this dimension is larger than 3-3/4”, then it will be necessary to notch out larger
portion (see Example B – Figure 4) large enough to house the unit. The notch
should be 5” to 8” high. Contact a LiftMaster dealer if your application does not fit
these guidelines.

Step 4: Mounting
1 Manually open the gate and attach the unit to the two (2) mounting brackets
(see Figure 5).
2 Manually open and close the gate a few times to ensure the mounting brackets
and gate stops are positioned properly with no interference (the unit is shipped
in the disconnect position to allow for this).
3 Mount the controller in a convenient location, within reach of the unit’s 4 ft.
control card. Make sure the cord is not stretched taut (it should have a slight
amount of slack during the full cycle).
4 For Master/Slave Option: Mount both units. Mount the controller near the
“master unit” and the junction box near the “slave unit”.

Step 7: Hydraulic Adjustments
1 Locate the by-pass valve. Using the hex key supplied, re-engage the by-pass
valve by turning it clockwise as far as possible.
2 Turn power on at main power supply and at power disconnect switch. The
controller has a 7 second delay form power-up until a signal can be received.
3 With gate open, activate the unit to close. Using a flat blade screwdriver, slowly
turn the close pressure valve counter-clockwise until the gate begins to move,
then adjust it ¼ to ½ turn more. (Unit is shipped with pressure valves set at
minimum).
NOTE:
Since the unit’s cycle time has yet to be adjusted, it may shut off too soon
or may run longer than desired.
4 Locate the open pressure valve. Activate the unit to open and adjust it in the
same manner as the close direction.
WARNING
The open & close pressure valves must be adjusted properly. They should
develop enough force to open and close the gate properly. If the gate
meets an obstruction there will be a minimum amount of force applied.
Check this by holding the gate when it is closing and opening.
For manual operation of the gate, use the hex key and turn the by-pass
valve counter-clockwise to disconnect the unit. To reconnect the unit
turn the by-pass valve clockwise.
5When all the valves have been adjusted, replace the plastic cover.
Never adjust the open and/or close pressure valves to their maximum
setting. Always use the minimum setting required to move the gate. If
strong wind loads are a possibility, increase the run time – not the
pressure valves.

Step 8: Electrical Adjustments
1 Locate the cycle timer “pot” on the control panel. This pot determines the
length of time the unit will run. Adjust it so the unit will fully open and close the
gate properly. Allow a few seconds for slippage against the gate stops.
2 Optional: If you have a master/slave system and have added the master/slave
delay relay, locate the master/slave delay “pot” on the control panel. This pot
determines the close time delay between two units (i.e. the master closes first).
Adjust this “pot” to the desired delay time.
NOTE: Both units will open at the same time.
3 Optional: Locate the auto close timer “pot” on the control panel. This pot
determines how long the gate will stay open before it automatically closes.
Adjust this to the desired time.
Reversing edges, obstruction sensors and inductive loop detectors should
be used with this feature to prevent injury or property damage.
