Safety Installation Information
1. READ and FOLLOW all instruction.
2. The gate opener is intended for use with Class I vehicular
swing gates.
Class I denotes a vehicular gate opener (or system) dwellings,
or a garage or parking area associated therewith.
Install the gate opener only when the opener is appropriate for
the construction and the usage class of the gate.
3. Gate opening system designers, installers and users must
take into account the possible hazards associated with each
individual application. Improperly designed, installed or
maintained systems can create risks for the user as well as the
bystander. Gate system design and installation must reduce
public exposure to potential hazards. All exposed pinch points
must be eliminated or guarded.
4. A gate opener can create high levels of force during
normal operation. Therefore, safety features must be
incorporated into every installation. Specific safety features
include safety sensors.
5. The gate must be properly installed and work freely in
both directions prior to the installation of the gate opener.
6. The gate must be installed in a location so that enough
clearance is provided between the gate and adjacent structure
when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment.
Swinging gates shall not open into public access areas.
7. The opener is intended for use only on gates used for
vehicles. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate access
opening. The pedestrian access opening shall be designed to
promote pedestrian usage. The pedestrian access shall be
located such that persons will not come in contact with the
moving vehicular gate.
8. Pedestrians should never cross the pathway of a moving
gate. The gate opener is not acceptable for use on any
pedestrian gate. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate
pedestrian access.
9. For an installation utilizing non-contact sensors (safety
sensors), see product manual on the placement of non-contact
sensors (safety sensors) for each type of application.
a. Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance
tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the safety sensor while
the gate is still moving.
b. One or more non-contact sensors (safety sensors) shall
be located where the risk of entrapment of obstruction exists,
such as the perimeter reachable by a moving gate or barrier.
10. Never mount any device that operates the gate opener
where the user can reach over, under, around or through the
gate to operate the controls. Controls are to be placed at least 6’
(1.8m) from any part of the moving gate.
11. Controls intended to be used to reset an operator after 2
sequential activations of the entrapment protection device or
devices must be located in the line of sight of the gate, or easily
accessible controls shall have a security feature to prevent
unauthorized use. Never allow anyone to hang on or ride the
gate during the entire travel of the gate.
12. Each gate opener is provided with two safety warning
placards. The placards are to be installed on the front and back
of the gate where they are plainly visible. The placards may be
mounted using cable ties through the four holes provided on
each placard.
All warning signs and placards must be installed where visible
in the area of the gate.
13. To AVOID damaging gas, power, or other underground
utility lines, contact underground utility locating companies
BEFORE digging.
14. Do not permit children to play on or around the gate and
keep all controls out of their reach.
15. SAVE INSTRUCTION.

Preparation for Installation
There are two installation types for the gate opener, Pull-to-Open and Push-to-Open.
In the Push-to-Open installation, gate opens out from the property. A Push-To-Open Bracket is required to be
used for each gate.
The gate opener can be either installed on square gate post or
rounded gate post.
when the gate post is square, the width of the gate post should
be at least 120 mm.
When the gate post is rounded, connect post bracket to the
gate post via pipe clamps, requires the diameter of the gate
post should be less than or equal to 80mm.
Install the Opener on the Gate – for Pull to Open
The position of Post Bracket is very important. The following illustrations and tables are required to determine
the proper mounting position for the Post Bracket. The tables show the maximum opening angle of the gate for
a given A and B. For example, if A is 18cm and B is 16cm, the maximum opening angle of the gate is 104°
Pull-to-Open Installation — Gate in Closed position (Moving-Rod is extended)
NOTE: Ensure the gate does not open into public areas. One more person will help when installing.

1. Insert the M10 x 30 bolts through the center holes of the post bracket and Pull to Open Bracket as shown.
Place ￠10 washers , ￠10 lock washers and M10 nuts on the bottom of the bolts and hand tighten.
2. Attach the gate bracket and post bracket assembly to the opener by inserting a thread pin.
3. Open the release hole plug on the top of the gate opener, insert the
release key and turn the key 90° clockwise. This releases the motor and
allows the push-pull rod to be manually extended and retracted. To restore
normal operation, turn the key 90° counterclockwise.
4. With the opener fully retracted and with the gate in the fully open
position (for Pull-to-Open installation), place the opener with the Post
Bracket Assy. and Gate Bracket on the gate post and the gate. While
holding the gate opener in the level position, temporarily secure it with two
C-clamps.
5. Make sure that there is a minimum clearance of 2.5cm between the gate and the opener and that the opener
and the Pull to Open Bracket are not binding in both the gate-open and gate-closed positions. If there is not at
least 2.5cm of clearance or if the opener and the Pull to Open Bracket are binding, rotate the Pull to Open
Bracket and/or move the Post Bracket Assy. to obtain the minimum clearance and eliminate the binding.

6. Sign the bolt-hole point on the gate post and gate. Do this by placing
a punch or a sign in the middle of each bolt slot on the post bracket
assemblies and the gate bracket. It allows slight adjustments to the
post bracket. Then remove the post bracket and gate bracket by taking
off the C-clamps.
7. Drill 14mm diameter holes on the gate post and drill 9mm diameter
holes on the gate at the marked locations.
8. Attach the post bracket assemblies to the gate posts by using four
expansion bolts.
9. Attach the gate brackets to each gate by inserting two M8x80 bolts
through the gate brackets and the drilled holes in the gates. Fasten
each bolt with one ￠8 lock washer, and one ￠8 nut.
10. With the opener fully retracted and with the gate in the fully open
position (for Pull-to-Open installation), attach the gate opener to the
Post Bracket Assembly and the Gate Bracket by inserting a thread pin
through the gate opener and the Pull to Open Bracket and another
thread pin through the gate opener and the Gate Bracket.
