Step 8
Remove the clevis pin from the front
mount and while supporting the gate
operator, swing the gate and gate
operator to the closed position. With
the gate and gate operator in the closed
position check the clearance and be sure
that the gate operator is not binding at
the post pivot bracket.
Ifyoudon’thave2”clearanceorthe
gate operator is binding on the post
pivot bracket, remove the bolt in the
post bracket and readjust the pivot
bracket until you can achieve the proper
clearance.
With the post pivot bracket in the optimum position for clearance and freedom of movement, replace the
bolt in a post bracket adjustment hole and secure with washer and lock nut. Return the operator to the
open position and reattach the gate bracket. Recheck the gate operator level and clearance in the open
position. Adjustment of the gate bracket will be necessary if the post bracket was moved. After verifying
clearance, make sure the gate bracket is clamped securely.
