GENERAL SAfETY RULES
WARNING!
READANDUNDERSTANDALLINSTRUCTIONS.failuretofollowallinstructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
SAVE ThESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area
1.
2.
keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
3.
keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.
distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work area from debris
such as chips and sparks. Provide barriers or shields as needed.
Electrical Safety
4.
5.
6.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. if the
tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance
path to carry electricity away from the user.
7.
8.
Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. double
insulation
eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded
power supply system.
Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry the tools or pull
the Plug from an outlet. keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges,
or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately. damaged Power
Cords increase the risk of electric shock.

9.
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-
A” or “W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the risk of
electric shock.
Personal Safety
10. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication. a moment of inattention while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
11. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. keep
your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. loose clothes, jewelry, or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
12. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the Power switch, or plugging in power tools
with the Power switch on, invites accidents.
13. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on. a wrench
or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
14. Do not overreach. keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enables better control in unexpected situations.
Tool Use and Care
15. Use clamps (not included) or other practical ways to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
16. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
17. Do not use the power tool if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off. any tool
that cannot be controlled with the Power switch is dangerous and must be replaced.
18. Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
19. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
20. Maintain with care. keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools
with a sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control. do not use a
damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “do not use” until repaired.

21. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
22. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on
another tool.
Service
23. Gate Opener service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. service
or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
24. When servicing the Gate Opener, use only identical replacement parts. follow
instructions in the “Inspection,Maintenance,And Cleaning”section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk
of electric shock or injury.
SPECIfIC SAfETY RULES

2.
Maintain labels and nameplates on the Gate Opener. These carry important
information. if unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
Always wear ANSI-approved safety impact eye goggles and heavy work gloves
when using tools to install the Gate Opener. Using personal safety devices reduce
the risk for injury.
3.
4.
Maintain a safe working environment. keep the work area well lit. Make sure there
is adequate surrounding workspace. always keep the work area free of obstructions,
grease, oil, trash, and other debris. do not use power tools in areas near flammable
chemicals, dusts, and vapors. do not use power tools in a damp or wet location.
Avoid electrical shocks. Always turn off the circuit breaker to the Gate Opener
Control Box before performing any inspection,maintenance,or cleaning procedures
of the Gate Opener.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Warning:Installation of the Gate Opener requires knowledge of mechanical and electrical
conceptsandexperience.Ifyoudonothavethese,youshouldcontractaqualifiedtechnician
to do the installation. Electrical supply wiring must be done by a licensed electrician.
Preparation
1.
verify that the gate wings swing open easily, and without obstructions such as scraping
the ground. see illustration below.
2.
3.
verify that each gate wing does not weigh over 550 pounds.
determine a location for the Control Box within two feet of either actuator arm (a).
it may be mounted to the pillar or post supporting the gate. it should also be on the gate
side with electrical access.
4.
determine the 110 vaC, 20a, circuit source to power the Gate opener.
The connection can be completed with conduit (or other approved means) going directly
to the Control Box (B).
5.
6.
select a location to mount the Warning light (E).
determine the conduit route from the far actuator arm (a), across the drive way, to the
Control Box (B).
7.
8.
Purchase hardware to secure the Brackets (F and G) to the gate post and gate wings,
and to mount the Control Box (B). see illustrations on page 8.
in some cases, it may be necessary to weld the Pivot T-brackets (G) to the gate.
Purchase conduit and two-pair cable (18-20 gauge aWG solid) for the Warning light (E),
key switch (d), and far actuator arm (a). The conduit for the far actuator arm will have
weight pass over it and must be designed to withstand the stresses created by heavy
loads passing overhead.

Providing a Power Source
1.
2.
Find a 110 vaC, fused, electrical box nearest the placement of the Control Box (B).
if none exists, a licensed electrician will have to run new cable (14 aWG) and conduit
from the electrical distribution box to the Control Box (B).
if an outdoor electrical outlet is near enough to use as a power source, a licensed
electrician will have to run new cable and conduit from this outlet to the Control Box.
Mounting Actuator Arms
The placement of the arm Mounting Brackets (F) on the gate support post or pillar will affect
the amount of gate opening, its speed, and force. other factors include the weight and length
of the gate wing. The control board has two PoT switches MoT1, MoT2 (ampere 1, 2 on
the circuit board) that allow the user to adjust the opening and closing force of motor 1 and 2
respectively. This feature will work in conjunction with the adjustable “k” plate.
The following steps describe, generally, the installation of the arm Mounting Brackets (F),
The actuator arms (a), and the Pivot T-brackets (G). Each installation is different so some
modification to these steps may be necessary. refer to the illustrations below.
1.
assemble the arm Mounting Brackets (F) using the supplied hardware (F and H) as
shown below-left.
2.
Place a Pivot Pin (H) through the rear bracket of the actuator arm (a) and the arm
Mounting Brackets (F). secure with the Pivot Pin (H), Washer, and snap lock from
beneath.
3.
Place the Motor disengage key (i) (see page 19 assembly parts list) into the triangle
hole in the actuator arm (a) motor housing and turn it counterclockwise.This disengages
the motor so the actuator arm piston can be pulled out or pushed in.
4.
5.
attach the actuator arm (a) piston to the PivotT-bracket (G) using a Pivot Pin (H),Washer,
and snap lock from below. see illustration below-right.
Push the actuator arm (a) piston all the way in. see illustration below-right.
6.
7.
open one Gate Wing to the desired opening (usually 90° as shown below, mid-page).
With the help of another person, hold up the actuator arm (a) with arm Mounting brackets
(F) against the mounting post, and Pivot T-bracket (G) against the Gate Wing.
skU 47821
For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353

The actuator arm (a) must be parallel to the GateWing and to the ground.The placement
of the PivotT-bracket (G) should be on a GateWing cross member (if there is one), about
1/3 to 1/2 the distance from the ground.
8.
9.
Using a pencil, mark the outline of the arm Mounting Bracket (F) on the Mounting
Post.
Mark the outline of the Pivot T-bracket (G) on the Gate Wing cross member.
10. Close the Gate Wing completely. see illustration below.
11. Pull out the actuator arm (a) piston.
12. Place the arm Mounting Bracket (F) over the marked outline on the Mounting Post, and
the Pivot T-bracket over marked outline on the Gate Wing cross member.
13. if both mounting brackets easily cover the marked outline, then mark through the bracket
mounting holes in preparation for drilling and installation.
if the Pivot T-bracket (G) cannot reach the marked outline, make a new marked outline
where is does reach.

14. Close the GateWing again, push in the actuator arm (a) piston, and hold up the actuator
arm against the new marked outline on the Wing Gate and the marked outline on the
Mounting Post. see the illustration under step 9, page 9.
it may be necessary to move the arm Mounting Bracket (F) farther or closer to the
centerline of the Gate Wing hinge (dimension “X”). see illustration below. There is a
relationship between the “X” and “Y” dimensions, where “X” is the width dimension from
the Gate Wing hinge centerline and the Pivot Pin (H) centerline; and “Y” is the depth
dimension from the Pivot Pin (H) centerline and the Gate Wing hinge centerline.
Guidelines:
Gate Wings under 5’ (W), X = 4”, Y = 4”
Gate Wings over 5’ (W), X = 5.5”, Y = 4.8”
15. When the locations of the arm Mounting Bracket (F) and the Pivot T-bracket (G) have
been determined, mount the brackets with hardware (not supplied).
Minor adjustments to the opening and closing of the Gate Wing can be made by moving
the Pivot Pin (H) to a different hole in the arm Mounting Bracket (F).refer to the illustration
at the bottom-left on page 8.
16. repeat these steps for the opposite Gate Wing.The actuator arm (a) should, however,
be mounted in the same location on the opposite Mounting Post or Pillar.
17. Test the Gate Wings. Both should move in and out freely. Close Gate Wings and Engage
Motors. (To engage Motors, do the reverse as described in step 3, page 8.)

of the gate.When flashing, it indicates that the gate wings are opening or closing — stay
clear. Mount the Warning light with hardware, not supplied. Connect two-pair cable (not
supplied) to the Warning light (E) and route to the bottom of the Control Box (B). if cable
needs to be buried, conduit must be used. The Warning light bulb uses 12 volts at 10
watts.
2.
3.
1.
Mount the key Switch (d) in a location where it can be reached from outside of the
gate wings (mounting hardware not supplied).Try to hide it from public view.When a key
is placed in it and turned, the gate wings will open. The two-pair cable (not supplied),
once connected within the key switch box, should be routed through a wall or conduit
to prevent tampering from outside. route cable to the bottom of the Control Box (B).
