How to install automatic gate opener
What happens here
Align the gate with the hinge bolts on the post and carefully hang it. Once the gate is in place, use a wrench to tighten the nuts on the hinge bolts. Continuously check the gate with a level to ensure it is plumb and level, adjusting the tightness of the bolts as needed to achieve correct alignment and allow for smooth operation.
Goal: Hang the gate and ensure it is level and plumb
