NOTE: Barrier and Cables are not shown in drawing above.
To ensure correct operation of the safety gate, it is critical that the two vertical side
columns (1 & 2) are installed plumb and parallel to one another in both vertical planes.
The drawing below shows several reference dimensions, which will aid during the
installation process.

Assembly Instructions
For ease of installation, the spreader channel assembly has all components except the
cables shipped factory assembled. Refer to the installation parts diagram and table
starting on page 5 as needed.
Numbers in parenthesis refer to Items listed in chart on page 5.
1. Place the left and right vertical upright columns (1&2) parallel to one another at the
Inside Column dimension as shown in the diagrams on the preceding page(s).
2. Determine the correct operator handing for the gate being built. Place the torque
shaft (7) end with the operator on the side of the gate to suit the handing required.
See also gate dimension drawings starting on page 6.
3. Check over the spreader channel (6) and components (7 to 21) for no obvious signs
of movement or damage during shipping. Brackets, operator, torque arm and shaft
should be square and parallel to the bottom plate and cross-channel.
4. The torque shaft (7) requires a dimension of 1-3/8” be maintained over the length of
the cross-channel. The shaft will need to be realigned if this dimension has changed.
See diagram below.
To re-align shaft and components:
a. Loosen the pivot bracket bolts (22) and shift the brackets (12 &13) forward or
back to obtain 1-3/8”.
b. Securely re-tighten the pivot bracket bolts across the spreader channel.
c. Check that the operator (8) is aligned vertically.
d. Verify that the shaft is straight.
The end of the spreader channel with the operator goes to the left-hand side of the gate (as
viewed standing on the dock looking out the door) for a left-hand operated gate.

5. Bolt the spreader channel/torque shaft assembly to the top of the upright columns,
using the eight 3/8” x 1-1/2” long bolts (22) and fasteners (23, 24 & 25) provided. Each
connection should have a 3/8” washer (24) on the top and a 3/8” washer (24) with a
nylock nut (25) on the bottom. See picture.
6. Finish tightening the bolts that hold the spreader channel to the columns.
7. The partially assembled gate is now ready to be raised to the vertical position if steps 1
to 6 have been completed with the gate on the floor.
Cables are not installed on the drums for shipping purposes. For installation ease it may
be convenient to attach them now to the corresponding drum. The drums in line with the
inner I beam are used for the barrier gate. The drums in line with the outer I beam are
used for the counterweights. Cables are marked accordingly.

Column Mounting Instructions
If the gate was partially assembled flat on the ground, it must now be tilted to the vertical
upright position.
Columns (1&2) are shipped with the roller (3 to 5) for the counterweight cable factory
assembled.
When tilting the gate, do not use the torque shaft or the spreader channel as a lifting
point. They are not designed for this purpose and will bend. Any lifting must be
done at the top of the columns.
1. The gate is to be centred in the door opening and positioned far enough away from
the door to allow adequate clearance between the movable barrier and the door.
2. Before setting any anchors (29), ensure both columns are square and plumb. Refer
to the drawing starting on page 6 for reference dimensions.
Floors must be a minimum of 6” thick concrete to use the supplied anchors.
The minimum embedment depth for a 1” wedge anchor is 4-1/2” (a customer using
3/4” epoxy set anchors, depth by manufacturer specification).
3. Drill and set one anchor (29) in the base plate of each column, but do not tighten.
4. Check to ensure the columns are square and plumb again and adjust if necessary.
Drill and set the remaining four anchors in each plate and torque all anchors to
manufacturer specification to achieve maximum holding strength.
Barrier Mounting Instructions
1. Remove the counterweights access cover plates (27) from each side of columns.
2. Remove the end plates from both ends of the barrier assembly. Tilt the barrier at an
angle and position it between the columns.
There is a left and right end to the gate assembly. The eyebolt at each end should be
pointing up and will be in line with the barrier cable, once installed. The eyebolt goes in
the outer of the two holes in the mounting angle as shown below.

3. Using a forklift or other suitable lifting device, lift the gate up between the columns.
Insert 1/2" rods (by others), through the 13/16” diameter holes provided near the top
of both left and right column beam flanges. This will support the gate while the
cables are being attached.
4. Install the barrier gate cables:
a. Hook cable stop into drum and wind snug until matching the barrier.
b. Maintain tension on the cable and clamp it to the frame with light spring clamp to
hold it snug on drum.
c. Connect the cable and eyebolt with 1/4” diameter quick link provided.
d. Repeat on opposite end.
e. Use 3/8” drive in fan end of operator to take up any cable slack as spring clamps
are removed.
f. Now cables are taught with barrier at raised position.
Do not attempt to use operator alone to raise or support the barrier. Personal injury
may result. Counterweights must first be installed.
5. Check all connections before proceeding to next step.
When connecting the barrier, always make sure there are several threads on the
eyebolt protruding past the nuts on the bottom side of the angle. A nylock nut or
a lock washer must be used under the nut on the eyebolts to prevent them from
loosening.

Counterweight Installation Instructions
1. 1/2” support rods are still holding barrier in raised position.
2. Place a temporary spacer block, by others, (approx. 2” high) in bottom pocket of each
beam. This block is used to raise the counterweight up high enough to allow the cable
to be attached.
Each counterweight weighs at least 106lbs. Exercise appropriate caution when
handling so as not to pinch, crush or strain any part of the body.
3. Place a counterweight (26) so that it fits inside the column, with the cable connection
bracket pointing up.
4. Hook cable stop into drum and wind cable snug until matching counterweight when
wrapped over roller and centered with column.
5. Maintain tension on cable to keep aligned in the drum grooves and connect cable to
weight with shackle.
6. Tilt the counterweight outwards to take up the slack in cable.
7. Remove spacer block and allow weight to swing into place.
8. Repeat Step 3 for the other side of the gate.

•The number of cable wraps on the drum will vary with gate height and width.
•After temporary blocks are removed, the counterweight should not bottom out
before barrier is to the top of its travel.
•It is very important that the torque shaft not be rotated until after all four cables
are connected to the gate and counterweights.
9. Ensure free movement of the cable at both rollers (3) and shackle ends (28).
10.Check all 4 drums (14, 15) to verify that the cables are all seated properly in the
drum grooves. Correct, as necessary.
11.Use 3/8” drive in the operator to raise the barrier gate and remove the 1/2" rods used
to support the barrier prior to all cables and counterweights being installed.
12. Re-install the two barrier end plates with 3/4" bolt provided (4 on each side).
13. Check the barrier for level in both directions and adjust the eyebolts if necessary.
14. Install the access counterweight cover plates (27) that were previously removed.
