Read & Plan
Read and follow the Important Safety Information provided in the Programming and
Operations Manual prior to installing the HydraSwing. Read and follow these installation
instructions and make sure to conform to site specications and all local and federal
regulations and codes.

2Measure and Calculate
Pay attention to gate swing (retracted or extended
cylinder) and clearance around the mounting location.
Consider right handing and left handing. Allow for
access to brake valves.
Use the charts, provided on pages 3 and 4, to
determine gate geometry and placement of the chassis
and gate mount.

3Design Vehicle Loops
If automatic close is desired for a uni- or bi-directional
gate, a SHADOW and one other loop (IOLD or OOLD) is required.
Three loops are preferred: SHADOW, IOLD, OOLD (Free Exit, optional)
NOTE: Loop layout is dependent on uni- or bi-directional trafc and length of gate and width
of roadway. Vehicle must move from one loop to the next without loss of detection. The site
design shown on this page is for illustrative purposes only.
NOTE: Pay attention to
and plan for clearance
and access.
4Install conduit for communication and power
Locate and install the HydraSupply within 50 feet (6.1 m) of the HydraSwing gate operator.
NOTE: Order hose through HySecurity. See CAUTION.

*NOTE: HydraSwing orders include two (2) uid-charged hoses and attached ttings totaling up to 50 ft (15 m).
Additional hose is billed by the foot. For HydraSwing 80F and 150, use 1/2-inch hose and ttings where the
HydraSupply cabinet is installed more than 50 ft from the actuator AND temperatures routinely fall below 0°F.
For distances between the HydraSupply and actuator longer than 100 ft (30 m), contact Tech Support.

Wall or post-mount the

If planning a post mount, mounting
holes need to be drilled (U-bolts,
fasteners, and unistrut are not
provided). Cabinet may also be wall-
mounted with anchor bolts.
NOTE: The mounting holes on the
top and bottom anges are 5/16-
inch diameter.

CAUTION
Remember to order hose through HySecurity!
In addition to conduit length, make sure
to measure hose requirements inside the
HydraSwing and HydraSupply. For example,
HydraSwing 80F requires about 1 ft of
additional hose length inside the operator
and another 2 or 3 ft inside the HydraSupply.
For proper sequencing of bi-parting (dual) gate systems, it is critical that the hydraulic
cylinder be fully extended. See “Determine Arm Geometry: 40 & 40F” on page 4.
