Congratulations on selecting a Nice swing gate actuator for your gate opener system. With proper selection,
system design, installation, and maintenance this actuator should provide years of reliable operation. This
manual covers ONLY the installation of the actuator.
IMPORTANT!
For control box installation, wiring, operation, programming, maintenance, and all safety information, refer
to the appropriate 1050 control box installation manual used for the system being installed.

Below is a list of tools suggested for installation of the 3501 actuator:
• Welder (option for gate bracket)
• Drill and assorted bit sizes
• 1/2” and 3/8” wrench and/or nut driver
• Basic hand tools (screwdrivers, pliers, etc..)
• Bubble Level (for leveling actuator)
• Measuring tape (for locating post position)
• 1/8” and 5/32” hex keys (for set screws)
IMPORTANT!
• The gate operator installation is NOT a “do-it-yourself” project. Contract a qualied gate operator instal-
lation company to install this system to ensure a safe and reliable installation.
• It is the responsibility of the property owner to ensure the installer is qualied to carry out the installation
in a safe and professional manner.
• Consult local government agencies for up-to-date rules and regulations to satisfy licensing, codes or
regulations that regulate automated gate system design and installation.
• The gate for which the gate operator is intended to be used should itself be installed correctly so that it
is level and plumb and the gate opens easily and evenly.
• Note that Nice swing gate systems are not intended for installation on an incline.

SECTION 3: TOOLS NEEDED FOR INSTALLATION
WARNING!
READ ALL SAFETY INFORMATION IN THE CONTROL BOX INSTALLATION MANUAL WHEN
INSTALLING A SWING GATE SYSTEM!
BE AWARE OF ALL MOVING PARTS AND AVOID CLOSE PROXIMITY TO ANY PINCH POINTS.

1. Determine the angle that the gate will travel to (A) in IMAGE 1-1.
2. Select the coordinates (B & C) as shown in the IMAGE 1-1. Distances of “B” are from the center of gate
hinge to the center of the mounting post. Longer gates should operate at slower speeds.
3. Refer to TABLE 1-1 for optimum dimensions.

• The top of the post should be 2” above the centerline of the
location where the gate attach bracket will be mounted to the
gate (IMAGE 2-1).
• The gate attach bracket should be mounted to a structural
member on the gate. DO NOT attach the bracket to pickets.
• The mounting post should be square to the gate in the closed
position and level for proper operation.
• Conduit should be considered at this time for cable routing
from the control box to the chassis assembly

1. Remove the mounting bracket from the CHBOX35 chassis bottom by removing the four bolts and lock
washers (IMAGE 3-1). Retain the hardware for later reassembly.
2. Weld the mounting bracket to the top of the mounting post (IMAGE 3-2):
• The bracket should be level and square to the post.
• Tack welds may be made from the top inside of the bracket and post.
• Bottom welds should be made for permanent rigidity.

1. Install the primary arm collar to the main drive shaft using the 1/4” key stock (IMAGE 5-1, Detail A).
2. The collar should be installed on the shaft as far up as possible (IMAGE 5-2). Use 5/32” hex key to
tighten set screw. Insert 1/2”-13x3” hex bolt into collar and afx with 1/2” hex nut (IMAGE 5-2) using
1/2” wrench.
3. Use retaining ring pliers to insert the retaining ring into groove on driveshaft (IMAGE 5-2, DETAIL).
