of The Post Bracket Assembly

Step PTO-1:

With the gate leaf closed, adjust the post bracket assembly and the
gate bracket until the opener is level. While holding the opener
level, use C-clamps to temporarily keep the post bracket assembly
and gate bracket in their respective positions on the fence post and
gate.

". This is the point where

either one of the holes at the end of the post pivot bracket
should be. You will need to rotate the post pivot bracket or
the entire post bracket assembly to align it with the square
angle of the template.

NOTE: If you move the post pivot bracket, be sure one of the

post bracket holes is aligned with the rest of the
assembly (the center hole should already have a bolt
through it). The post pivot bracket can be flipped
over to give more position options.
