        A:  Katbill, Thank you for taking the time to post your question. The line that is connected to the secondary arm is the power cable that allows the control board to control the secondary arm. To install this gate opener properly you will need to trench across the drive to bury the power cable from the secondary arm. Thank you,

              Q:Dual gate swing direction?

              Answer This Question

              A:  RadCoor, You can either install the gate openers as push-to-open or pull-to-open, they cannot be installed with one arm as push-to-open and the other pull-to-open on a Mighty Mule dual gate opening system. Thank you,

              by|May 3, 2023

                A:  No, unless you got some sort of add-on push to open kit. The gate kit by itself opens two gates (double gate) on its own. You cannot push on them to open. If there is such a thing as an add-on for push to open, then that would change this answer and you'd have to get that kit.

                Q:I have two gates that open out into the driveway. will this product work or can you recommend one that will?

                Answer This Question

                A:  Hello KTM, It depends on how heavy each of your gate's panels are. The Mighty Mule model number FM402 is ideal for dual swing gates up to 12 ft. or 300 lbs.per gate panel. If each of your gates may weigh more than 300 lbs. each, I would recommend you purchase the Mighty Mule model number FM502, this gate opener is ideal for dual swing gates up to 18 ft. or 850 lbs. per panel. If you want the gate openers to swing away from your property, you will need to add two Mighty Mule push to open brackets, model number FM148. This convenient push to open bracket attaches the gate opener at the gate post at an angle that allows the gate to swing away from the property instead of into it. This metal bracket is ideal for sloping driveways or where space prevents a gate from opening inward.

                  A:  Absolutely. That's what the "dual" means for this opener. I have exactly the same situation.
