SECURE THE OPERATOR ARM TO THE
OUTPUT SHAFT
Position the operator arm onto the output shaft so that the pin slides into
the slot.
Adjust the nuts on the operator arm so the operator arm fits snug on the
output shaft yet still allows enough room to swivel (the handle must be in a
90° position).
Tighten the handle by pushing it down. Test to make sure the operator arm
does not slip on the output shaft.

WIRING
» EARTH GROUND ROD
EARTH GROUND ROD
Proper grounding gives an electrical charge, such as from an electrical static
discharge or a near lightning strike, a path from which to dissipate its energy safely
into the earth. Without this path, the intense energy generated by lightning could be
directed towards the gate operator. Although nothing can absorb the tremendous
power of a direct lightning strike, proper grounding can protect the gate operator in
most cases.
Use the proper earth ground rod for your local area. The ground wire must be a
single, whole piece of wire. Never splice two wires for the ground wire. If you should
cut the ground wire too short, break it, or destroy its integrity, replace it with a
single wire length. NOTE: If the operator is not grounded properly the range of the
remote controls will be reduced.
Install the earth ground rod within 3 feet of the operator.
Attach the ground wire to the ground terminal on the control board.
