Push-To-Open Installation Information
Swinging gates shall not open into public access areas!
A “Push-to-Open” gate opens out from the property (operator arm extends to open the gate). A Push-To-
Open installation requires the purchase of a Push-To-Open Bracket
[R4388].
In a Push-To-Open installation the operator is installed while the gate is in the CLOSED POSITION.
Install the Operator
Follow directions for installing the
4000XL beginning on page 7. The Push-
To-Open installation diers from the
Pull-To-Open installation in the following
ways:
1. In a Push-To-Open installation, the arm
fully extends to open the gate, and it
fully retracts to close the gate. (C)
2. You will install the operator while the
gate is in the CLOSED POSITION (arm
fully retracted). (A)
3. You must use the Push-to-Open Post
Pivot Bracket [R4388] in the Post Bracket assembly(B).
4. IMPORTANT: While determining the mounting point for the
post pivot bracket assembly be sure that the position allows
for 2” clearance between the gate and the operator in both the
open and closed positions (see diagram below). This clearance
will give the operator the most ecient leverage point for
opening and closing the gate and more importantly provides
the least possible pinch area. (C)
