5.SitePreparation
Beforeyoubegintheopenerinstallation,checkthefollowing.
1. Thegateshouldbemountedandmovingfreelywithlittleresistancein
movement.
2. Thegateandpostmustbesuitableforbeingautomated.Checkthatthe
structureissufficientlystrongandrigid,andthatitsdimensionsandweights
conformtothoselistedinthespecificationstableofthisdocument.(page5)
3. Makesurethatthegateisplumbandlevel.
4. Thefencepostsmustbemountedinconcrete.
