This bracket is not just a spacer or generic piece of steel. On a linear actuator swing gate opener, the post pivot point determines how the arm pushes the gate, how much clearance the arm has during travel, and whether the gate can reach the proper open and closed positions without binding. The 347IH is used when the operator must push the gate open rather than pull it open.
Push-to-open installations are more sensitive to bracket geometry than many customers expect. If the bracket is in the wrong position, the opener may hit the gate or post, fail to reach full travel, or place too much load on the arm.
Have a qualified gate technician handle the installation if the gate geometry is unclear. Incorrect push-to-open bracket placement can damage the operator or create unsafe gate movement.
The 347IH bracket changes the mounting geometry for select GTO / Linear swing gate openers so the arm can be installed in a push-to-open application.
You need it when the gate opens away from the property and the operator model requires the alternate push-to-open pivot point.
One bracket normally handles one opener arm. A dual push-to-open gate usually needs two if both leaves use the same push-to-open geometry.
Some listings reference SW2000XL(S), while others emphasize SW2000XLS/SW2002XLS and other models. Verify the exact operator manual and bracket diagram before ordering.
The opener may bind, overextend, lose travel, hit the post or gate, or trigger obstruction protection. Correct measurements are important.
