Spot-weld the sleeve into place on the bottom of theshoe's U-shaped section. If you are using the shear-pinassembly, spot weld the sleeve to the bottom of theshear-pin assembly, and spot weld the top of the shear-pin assembly to the bottom of the shoeís U-shapedsection.Next you must test the temporarily welded position ofthe splined shaft's sleeve. Fit the shaft sleeve over thesplined shaft with the U-shaped section aligned in thegate leaf's fully closed position. Verify with a plumbline that the axis of rotation falls through the pilot holeto the center of the splined shaft.If the axis of rotation alignments are correct, thenpermanently weld the sleeve for the splined shaft to thebottom of the U-shaped section of the shoe.Also, you now need to weld the pilot hole closed, andyou need to weld the vertical section of the shoe to theU-shaped section of the shoe.Lubricate the splined shaft with grease and place thefinished gate leaf shoe over the shaft in the closedposition.Install the Gate LeafIf you are not using the telescoping shear-pin assembly,install the gate leaf by placing its 90-deg corner into thegate leaf shoe and then installing the top gate hinge.Installing the top gate hinge may require the gate leaf tobe at a particular height. To raise (or lower) the gate leafto the proper height, equally adjust the four levelingbolts on the base of the drive unit. The bolts raise (orlower) the splined shaft and thus the gate leaf shoe andgate leaf.To test the installation of the gate leaf, first make surethat the hydraulic system has been disengaged (theManual Release lever should point down).Next, very slowly open and close the gate leaf a fewtimes to see if it moves smoothly and evenly through itsentire path. As necessary, adjust the leveling bolts onthe base of the drive unit to correct any problems withthe gateís travel.Installing the Control PanelLocate the control panel in the most convenient positionpossible, considering the movement of the gate. Forexample, a good position for the control panel box in onthe inner face of the post or pillar. Figure 12 shows thetypical layout for a two-leaf gate with the 750 Operator.If you are embedding the control panel box into a wallor post, you must be sure to allow a clearance betweenthe surface of the wall or post and the rim under the lidof the control panel box.Installing the control panel consists of six general steps:• Connecting the main power to the controlpanel• Connecting the activating device• Connecting the operator to the controlpanel• Checking the direction of the motor'srotation• Connecting other devices (activating andreversing) to the control panel• Setting DIP switches and potentiometersfor normal operationThe installer is responsible for grounding the gate andoperator systems, for providing the main power breakerswitch, and for making sure that the entire gate systemmeets all applicable electrical codes.The installer is responsible for grounding the operatorsystems, for providing the main power breaker switch,and for making sure that the entire gate system meets allapplicable electrical codes.Follow the instructions below when installing thecontrol panel for the 750 Operator.Connect the MainPower SupplyWARNING! Turn the main power off beforeyou make any electrical connections or set anyswitches inside the control panel box.Wire the main power supply to control panel terminalsin block J1 (see Figures 13 and 14). The installer isresponsible for insuring that a separate, grounded circuitprotected by a circuit breaker is between the controlpanel and the main power supply. All wiring shouldconform to applicable electrical codes, and all wiringand fittings should be weatherproof and/or suitable forburial.
