SWR • SWC • SWD Swing Gate Operator Installation Guide - 4 - 227965 Revision X13 3-28-2008
Operator Preparation
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 2).
With the vent plug installed, remove the vent plug’s breather
pin to allow the gear box to vent (see Figure 2).
Gate Arm Installation
The gate arm connects the operator to the gate. The arm
supplied can be used in left-hand or right-hand installations.
After the proper length of the crank extension and link
section of the arm has been determined, the arm is welded
to complete the assembly.
Setting Left or Right Hand Confi guration
The welded style gate arm has been pre-assembled at the
factory in right-hand confi guration (the back of the overtravel
stop faces toward the drive when the gate is fully closed
and the arm is installed). For a left-hand operator, rotate the
upper portion of the arm as shown in Figure 3 to convert the
arm into a left-hand orientation.
Gate Plate Installation
The gate plate mounts on the gate at the recommended
height (24-7/8” above the top of the operator pad). The gate
plate supplied with the arm assembly can be welded to the
gate as shown in Figure 4. Holes have been provided for
securing the gate plate to an aluminum gate.
