1.3 Mechanical Installation
You will be installing the gate directly into the concrete slab. Mark the position of the gate,
and then cut the gate reset loops appropriately.
1.3.1 Gate Reset Loop
Each gate requires one gate reset loop. The gate reset loop should be 6’ long by 2.5’
wide. The loop should be positioned so that the edge closest to the approaching car
extends 2.5” beyond the forward edge of the gate arm. The loop should be positioned at
least 7.5” away from the gate as shown in the following figure.
