Necessary Tools: The following tools may be necessary to install the Gate opener. You will need
screwdrivers, an electric drill, wire cutters and a wire stripper, a socket set, and possibly access to a welder.
When install the opener, you should build a concrete pad to support the base plate of opener in order to
maintain proper stability.
The installation proceeds are as follows:
1.Dig a hole for a concrete pad which should be approximately 47 x 40 x 35cm (18.5〞x 16〞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.
2. Prepare one or more conduits for the
electrical cables before pour concrete.
Remember that cable conduits have to
pass through the hole in the base plate.
3. Pour concrete and before it starts to
harden, check that it is parallel to the gate
leaf and perfectly level.
4. The four anchor bolts must be set into the
concrete when it is poured, make sure the
position of anchor bolts was placed
according to the position of mounting holes
on the base plate before concrete become
harden.
5. Mount the base plate to the concrete Pad.
It's only temporary installation. Further
adjustment will be required when install the
chain.
Manual Operation
The opener should be put in the manual (emergency release) position before fitting the chain, installing the
opener and limit switch. The process is as follows:
1) Push the cover in arrow direction, now the key slot appears.
2) Insert release Key into the key slot and turn it in counter-clockwise 90° to disengage the clutch between
the gear shaft and power output. Now the opener is in the manual operation.

2. There are four sections of steel rack which is one meter length, each section for standard package. (you
can order extra rack from dealer if necessary)
3. Put one end of rack section on the gear of opener as a temporary support.
Make rack level and mark the rack’s mounting holes (three holes) on the gate.
4. Weld the rack nut on the gate as mark and connect the rack to the gate using the bolt provided. Before
weld, please keep 1.0mm space between the rack and the gear to avoid the weight of the gate leaf effect on
the opener.
Important:
1. Adjust opener’s height by using long washer if necessary.
2. Check that the rack teeth must engage the gear teeth throughout their full thickness. If not, adjust the
position of the opener or/and place a few shims between the rack and gate.
3. Manually slide the gate leaf to ensure the rack is proper on the gear of opener, weld the second nut.
4. Repeat same steps of first rack section to install the rest rack sections until proper length is reached.
5. Cut away any excess of the rack (Note: rack length must be longer than actual travel of the gate to
accommodate limit switch brackets on each gate side.)
6. Thoroughly fasten the four nuts as well as spring washers onto expansion bolt tightly, enabling the opener
is firmly secured on the concrete pad during the whole gate travel.
Install the magnets for Limit Switches
Before install limit switch, make sure the gate opener is put in manual operation. (the clutch connected with
