This number can vary depending on factors such as the type of gate, number of accessories added, and weather conditions if using solar panel(s) (FM121) to charge the battery. Each opener arm is mounted to the brackets on the post(s) and gates(s) with clevis pins and clips. By removing the pin and clip at the front end, the arm can be removed and allow the gate to be opened manually. All Mighty Mule E-Z Gate openers have built-in safety obstruction sensing which will cause the gate(s) to "Stop" and "Reverse" its direction for two seconds if it comes in contact with an object. If the gate comes in contact with the object twice before returning to its fully open or close position, an alarm will sound for 5 minutes. Most installations can be completed easily in two to three hours. Dual gates will take slightly longer because two operator arms are required. All installations can be completed with tools commonly used by most homeowners. Kits include an installation video (see box for details. ) All Mighty Mule E-Z Gate Openers are designed to be virtually maintenance free. However, it is recommended that the push-pull tube be sprayed once a month with a good grade of "silicone" spray. DO NOT use an oil based spray as this will attract sand and dirt.
