The Doorking 9000-015 Post Mount Kit is specifically designed for the Model 9000 slide gate operator. This kit facilitates the secure installation of the gate operator on a robust concrete foundation, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.

Kit Contents

• Base Plate: Ensures a stable foundation for the gate operator.
• 2 Posts: Provide structural support and house conduit for wiring.
• 6 Bolts, Lock washers, and Nuts: For securely attaching the operator to the base plate.
• 12 Washers: Additional hardware for mounting and securing components.

Installation Instructions

1. Foundation Preparation

   • The base plate must be mounted on a poured concrete foundation with a minimum size of 14” x 23” and a depth of at least 18”. The depth should comply with local building codes and soil conditions. Reinforced concrete is recommended for added stability.

2. Base Plate and Post Assembly

   • Screw the posts into the base plate.
   • Ensure the base plate is level before proceeding with the installation.
   • The base plate should be at least 1” away from the gate frame to allow proper clearance.

3. Conduit Installation

   • It is recommended to run all conduits inside the posts. If necessary, flexible conduit can be used after the operator has been installed.
   • Avoid running low voltage and high voltage wires in the same conduit to prevent interference and ensure safety.

4. Operator Mounting

   • Connect the operator to the base plate using the provided hardware.
   • The operator must be a minimum of 4” above the ground to prevent potential damage and ensure smooth operation.

5. Additional Considerations

   • Use 3/4” conduit with sweeps to run wires inside the posts.
   • Flexible conduit can be used to connect the operator to the base plate after the initial installation.
   • For gates longer than 20 ft, consider using the optional chain tray kit (P/N 2601-270) to manage the gate's movement.

Important Notes

• Ensure all installation steps comply with local building codes and regulations.
• Regularly check and maintain the hardware to ensure the gate operator remains securely mounted and functions correctly.
