The installation proceeds are as follows:
1.Assemble the Base Plate and fix the Opener to
the Base Plate.
2.Dig a hole for a concrete pad which should be
approximately 60 x 32 x 35cm (24〞x 13〞x
14〞). It may protrude 10 cm (4”) above ground
and 25 cm (10”) in depth underground. Increase
the pad height if necessary to protect the system from flooding, heavy snow etc.
3. Prepare one or more conduits for the electrical cables before pour concrete. Remember that cable
conduits have to pass through the hole on the base.
4. Pour concrete and before it starts to harden, check that it is parallel to the gate leaf and perfectly level.
5. Mark the position of four expansion anchors according to the position of mounting hole on the base plate.
Double check your marking, move the base plate and drill the 4 holes using a 14mm (9/16”) masonry bit. Put
the 4 expansion anchors (provided) into the holes and firmly tighten.
