Install the Drive UnitTo install the drive unit, first make sure the fourleveling bolts on the base of the unit do not protrudefrom the bottom of the unit. Then place the unit on thefoundation plate (see Figure 7).Position the drive unit according to the following:1. The side of the drive unit with the splinedshaft should be the side nearest the gatepost.2. The longitudinal axis of the drive unit isperpendicular to (at right angles to) the fullyclosed gate leaf.3. The center of the splined shaft is verticallyaligned with the center of the gate hinge axis(use a plumb line).Caution: NEVER weld the base plate of thedrive unit to the foundation plate. Weld onlythe mounting C brackets to the foundationplate.When the position of the drive unit meets theseconditions, weld the C-shaped mounting brackets tothe foundation plate to hold the drive unit in position(see Figure 7).Splined shaft: This sideof the drive unit should benearest the gate post.Drive unitFoundationplateMountingC bracketLongitudinal axisof the drive unitFigure 7. Welding the mounting C bracket to the foundation plateNext you need to prepare the two L-shaped "boxhalves" for installation. Note that the lip on each pieceshould be on top so as to support the top cover. Makethe necessary holes for the two hydraulic lines that runfrom the drive unit to the power unit.Once you have made your access holes, you can weldthe box halves to the foundation plate and to oneanother so as to enclose the drive unit on four sides. Besure to protect the drive unit during welding.Connect the Hydraulic LinesCaution: It is important that the hydrauliclines be kept clean of any debris.The drive unit and power unit are connected by twohydraulic lines, each with an outside diameter of 5/16in. (0.8 cm), an inside diameter of 5/32 in. (0.4 cm),and a 2,500 psi (170 bar) rating.Caution: After removing the nylon piping, donot rotate the splined shaft while you areconnecting the hydraulic lines to avoidsquirting hydraulic fluid.Remove the nylon piping connecting the two hydraulicpipe fittings on the drive unit. Clean up any spilledhydraulic fluid.Be sure the hydraulic lines are free of any debris byflushing them with a jet of compressed air. Then attachone line to each fitting on the drive unit.Next you attach the other end of the hydraulic lines tothe pipe fittings on the power unit (see Figure 8;additional information can be found in the technicaldrawing on page 29). Attaching the correct line to thecorrect fitting is important. Make sure that the hose onthe end of the drive unit that is on the closing side of thegate/fence line attaches to the hydraulic pipe fitting inthe power unit that is nearest the green bypass valve
