DO NOT run the operator until instructed. The illustration below shows the recommended dimensions for a standard - LiftMaster RSW12VDC | RSW12VDC Installation Manual - Page 11
OPERATOR CHART INSTALLATION Refer to the illustration to determine the measurements and location of the concrete pad. Gate gate and the concrete pad is 32". If this dimension is between 20 and 32 inches, a compact installation is necessary. Refer to Appendix for compact installation instructions - LiftMaster RSW12VDC | RSW12VDC Installation Manual - Page 12
