Gate Bracket and Chain Assembly

✓ NOTE: The item numbers shown in these illustrations

are for reference only. For the actual part numbers, refer

to the parts lists in the rear of this manual.

Assemble a gate bracket (1) to the front edge of the gate,

using two U-bolts (2), and mounting hardware (3). Before

tightening down completely, be sure the bracket is parallel

to the gate. Tighten the U-bolt hardware the rest of the way,

then screw the square head bolts (4) into the threaded

holes in the gate plate until they bottom out against the gate.

These will help keep the bracket from twisting on the pipe.

Slide a threaded chain pin (5) through the bracket as shown,

with spring (6), ﬂ at washer (10), and two hex nuts (7). Attach

one end of the drive chain (8) to the chain pin using master

link (9) and begin unrolling the chain toward the operator. An

optional Tail Mount conﬁ guration is shown in Figure 4B.

Remove the rain cover from the back of the slide gate

operator. Carefully thread the drive chain under the ﬁ rst

idler, over the drive sprocket, and then under the last idler.

Make sure you feed most of the chain through the idlers and

sprocket before attaching the chain to the back end of the

gate.

Assemble the other gate bracket on the rear edge of the

gate, using the same process as the front gate bracket.

Once this is done, take the other chain pin, spring and jam

nuts and assemble with the end of drive chain and the other

master link.

At this point you should be able to adjust the chain tension

by tightening the jam nuts on each end. Approximately

1/4” to 3/8” of slack per foot of drive chain is acceptable.

Make sure the chain does not drag on the ground, across

the gate rollers or the idler frame of the operator.

Additional mounting holes have been provided in the gate

bracket for installer convenience.
