SLR • SLC • SLD Slide Gate Operator Installation Guide - 3 - 227968 Revision X13 2-3-09
Mounting Pad Installation
The gate operator mounts bolted to a custom poured
concrete mounting pad. The pad supports the operator and
prevents it from moving during operation.
An optional post mount kit is also available (P/N 2120-483)
which allows installation without a concrete mounting pad.
Gate Preparation
Before installing the pad, 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 48” above ground
level. On picket-style gates, if pickets are spaced less than
2-1/4” apart, mesh is optional.
Mounting Pad Specifications
Recommended pad size is 21” x 21” minimum. Pad depth
should be set according to local codes and at least as deep
as frost line. 5/8” J-bolts may be set into the concrete before
it sets following the dimensions shown, or drilled after the
concrete sets.

WARNING
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.
WARNING
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.
Swing gates shall not open into public areas.
