Barrier Gate Arm Installation
The barrier gate arm connects to the operator with the gate
arm fl ange. A cutting edge plate protects the operator in
case a vehicle drives into the arm. The plate will shear the
gate arm off, minimizing damage to the operator.

to the parts lists in the back of this booklet.
Attaching the Gate Arm
1. Assemble gate arm fl ange (1) with cutting edge plate (2) onto the
arm plate of the operator using the 3/8” hardware provided (3). The
cutting edge plate should face toward the direction from which traffi c
is most likely expected. Do not completely tighten the bolts at this
time.
2. Slide the gate arm (4) through the opening in the arm fl ange assembly
as shown. There should be suffi cient clearance for the board to slip
between the bolts. Once the arm is positioned you can tighten down
the bolts.
