IF THIS OPENER WILL BE USED WITH GATES THAT ARE MOUNTED ON
MASONRY, BRICK, OR ROCK (etc.) COLUMNS:
READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
A. The simplest solution is to install the opener in a push-to-open configuration (requires Push-To-
Open Bracket, see Accessory Catalog). The minimum clearance is easier to achieve and clearance
is no longer a problem, since the opener will be pushing the gate away from the column instead of
pulling it toward the column. It is recommended that you place a steel plate between the opener
mounting brackets and masonry surface for additional strength.
B. If a push-to-open installation is impossible due to traffic hazards, terrain, etc., another option is
to re-hang the gate. You may hang it on a post, either in the center of the column or at the back
corner, or move the gate to the back corner of the columns.
C. The most difficult solution is to cut a notch in the column to accommodate the opener and power
cable. This job is NOT for the inexperienced!
