This allows links in the lift chain to be aligned with the teeth of the lower sprocket. 12. If a traffic light is present, verify proper operation - light is green only when boom is in the full vertical position. The light is red all other times. 4. Route lower lift chain as follows: From the service side, the teeth sections extend to your LEFT: Use supplied master link kit to attach one end of the long chain Gate arm on right to the left side of the turnbuckle assembly. To lower sprocket Route the long chain around the base sprocket from front (closest to you), underneath the sprocket, and to the rear. From the service side, the teeth sections extends to your RIGHT: Use supplied master link kit to attach one end of the long chain to the right side of the turnbuckle assembly. Route the long chain around the base sprocket from front (closest to you), underneath the sprocket, and to the rear.

Note that the threaded shafts will be installed in the turnbuckles at the approximate position for proper chain tension, but minor adjustment may be required. Adjust the chain tension as needed to take up slack. The chain should not droop, but it should be pinched with fingers easily. Too much chain tension will cause unneeded wear and stress on the system. Service Side 7. Check the chain alignment from top to bottom shafts. The chain should be in line and should not angle to either side. The lower sprocket inside the base can be adjusted by loosening the two set screws. The sprocket is keyed to prevent rotation, but can be shifted left or right along the shaft. Limit arm rotational position can be adjusted on the lower shaft with set screw (picture). With boom raised (open) and spikes lowered, rotate the arm containing the magnet until the light turns solid green. Tighten allen/set screws. INSTALL THE TRAFFIC LIGHT 1. Route the power wire through the hole in the base. 2. Position the traffic light on the base and use bolts (provided) to fasten the traffic light to the base. 3.
