The gate operator mounts to posts secured in concrete
footings. The posts support the operator and prevent it from
moving during operation as shown in Figure 2.
Gate Preparation
Before installing make sure the gate rolls or slides freely
and that all exposed rollers are properly covered. The gate
must be covered with fabric with openings no larger than
2-1/4” in size to a minimum height of 72” above ground
level. On picket-style gates if pickets are spaced less than
2-1/4” apart mesh is optional.
Use two 4” OD galvanized posts and secure with concrete
footings as shown length to be determined by local codes
frost line depth and soil conditions.
Attach the operator with the hardware provided.
To assemble the drive chain and chain support brackets
refer to Pages 4 and 5. Make sure that the chain sag does
not exceed recommended dimensions and that the chain
does not come into contact with the moving parts of the gate
or ground.
W RNING
The operator is intended for installation 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. Locate the gate such that persons will not
come into contact with the vehicular gate during the
entire path of travel of the vehicular gate.
W RNING
The gate must be installed in a location so that enough
clearance is supplied between the gate and adjacent
structures when opening and closing to reduce the
risk of entrapment.
Vent Plug Installation
In order to keep gear oil from spilling out during shipping
gear reducers used in gate operators have either a solid
plug or a sealed vent plug installed at the factory.
For operators with a solid plug replace the solid plug with
the vent plug provided (see Figure 3).
With the vent plug installed remove the vent plug’s breather
pin to allow the gear box to vent (see Figure 3)

operation. This overload protector will reset automatically
after the motor cools down.
Earth Ground
Install a ground rod and connect it to the operator’s frame
in every gate operator installation. A good earth ground
is necessary to allow the Controller’s built-in surge and
lightning protection circuitry to work effectively. The physical
bolting of the operator to the mounting posts is not
for a good earth ground. See Figure 1.

Open and Close Limit djustment
The limit nuts are NOT PRESET at the factory and must be
adjusted for the gate in each installation. The limit switches
are activated by two threaded nylon rotary limit nuts which
are attached to a threaded limit shaft driven by a chain
and sprockets from the main drive shaft. REMOVE THE
C RDBO RD FILLER BEFORE DJUSTING THE LIMIT
NUTS.
The Controller is factory setup for right-hand installations.
The OPEN limit switches are the ones closer to the front
of the operator. In left-hand installations the CLOSE limit
switches are the ones closer to the front of the operator (see
Figures 10 & 11).
Limit Nuts Rough djustment
Before running the operator set the limit nuts as follows:
OFF
OPEN

Setting Speeds using LSO-2 & LSC-2
Limit switches LSO-2 and LSC-2 control when the operator
accelerates to maximum speed and decelerates to
minimum speed. It is recommended that LSO-2 and LSC-2
hitting LSO-1 or LSC-1 as these will apply the brake upon
activation.
Adjust LSO-2 and LSC-2 by slightly loosening the two
screws which hold them in place and sliding toward or away
from the center of the limit box. Care must be taken not to
adjust too close to the center as the limit nut may travel past
the switch and start accelerating at the end of the cycle.
Torque Limiter djustment
Before adjusting the torque limiter make sure the gate is
in good working condition. With the gate operator in the
disconnected position one person should be able to move
the gate by hand. Be certain the gate moves freely and
without binding throughout its travel.
Torque limiters are SET LIGHT T THE F CTORY. They
must be adjusted during installation preferably after limit
cams have been manually set. With the gate operator
engaged to the gate adjust the torque limiter tight enough
to keep it from slipping during normal operation. The
inherent entrapment protection (current sensing) feature
must activate prior to any slipping of the torque limiter.
NOTE:
To adjust the torque limiter in a Model TYM-VS2:
