IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: Always follow installation and operating precautions, including the
following:
•Read this manual in its entirety before installing or operating the turnstile. If there are
questions, you may contact Alvarado at (909) 561-8431 (US) during normal business
hours.
•Use only skilled individuals to install and service the turnstile.
•The turnstile is not a toy. Do not allow children to play on or near the turnstile. Do not
allow horseplay near the turnstile.
•Follow a proper maintenance schedule using skilled individuals.
•Do not operate the turnstile if it is damaged in any manner. Have the turnstile
repaired or adjusted by a skilled service person before use.
•Do not alter the turnstile.
•For electrically controlled units, which do not have self-centering, do not remove or
disable lock arms. If controlled access is desired in only one direction, install a
pushbutton (available from Alvarado) to control access in the opposite direction.
•For electrically controlled units, which do not have self-centering, do not use
mechanical key overrides to allow uncontrolled passage unless the access control
system or turnstile is malfunctioning. Mechanical key overrides are intended for
limited use in special situations under the direction of operating management (i.e.
gate attendant). Have the access control system or turnstile repaired immediately.
•Do not operate the turnstile unless the friction brake is operating and adjusted
correctly.
•If a self-centering option is utilized, do not operate the turnstile unless the self-
centering unit is operating and adjusted correctly.
•Do not use non-Alvarado parts when repairing the turnstile.
•In access control application, train personnel that will be using the turnstile in the
proper method of operation. Ensure that as new users are added, they are properly
trained. (See Turnstile Operation/User Instructions Section)

INSTALLING THE MST TURNSTILE
TOOLS REQUIRED
Heavy Duty Drill Tape Measure
Or Roto Hammer 1/8 Allen Wrench
Twist Drill Plumb Bob
Torque Wrench Mallet
5/8” Concrete Drill Bit Torpedo Level
#25 (.1495) Drill Bit Shop Vac
9/16” Combination Wrench Torpedo Level
Ratchet with 9/16” and Mobilgrease XHP 222
¾” Socket w/Moly or equivalent
Chalk Safety Glasses
OVERVIEW OF INSTALLATION
1. Determine turnstile location, taking
into account the turnstile dimensions,
power requirements and activation
wiring.
2. Mark the installation location for the
components using chalk.
3. Run turnstile wiring.
4. Anchor turnstile components.
5. Connect power.
6. Connect activation leads.
PAD REQUIREMENTS
6’ x 6’ LEVEL CONCRETE PAD - MINIMUM THICKNESS 4”
DO NOT INSTALL INTO ASPHALT
LAYOUT
1. Determine where to install the turnstile.
Note the minimum width and height
openings on detailed drawings. Draw a
6 ft. chalk line to mark the centerline of
the turnstile. See Fig. 1.
2. Using the turnstile anchoring view
drawing on page 27, mark the exact
locations (along the turnstile centerline)
of the roto center, the center yoke hole,
and the OV centerline. See also Fig. 2.
(Fig. 1) Locating and marking the general
positions of the Yoke, Roto and OV section.

positions of the Yoke, Roto and OV section. (Fig. 2) Anchoring locations.

INSTALLATION continued
3. Locate and chalk mark the four
anchor holes for the roto
bearing housing, using the
bearing housing as a template.
(See Fig. 3) Drill the four 5/8”
dia. holes for the roto bearing
housing. All holes should be
drilled a minimum of 3” deep.
Terrazzo, brick veneer, thick
tile, see page 26 for additional
instructions.
INSTALLATION OF ROTO
BOTTOM BEARING HOUSING
4. Clean the holes and
insert one anchor in
each hole flush with
the floor. (See Fig. 4)
NOTE: Insert anchors
with threads down.
5. Place the bearing
housing over its
respective anchor
holes and anchor it
using four (4) 3/8” x 2
½” bolts and flat
washers. Make sure
that the housing is
level. Shim as needed.
(See Fig 5).

INSTALLATION continued
6. Drill a 5/8” hole 3” deep marked
at the yoke center chalk line.
Clean hole and install anchor.
Install the yoke center bolt
using a 3/8-16 x 4½” HHCS and
washer through the hole of the
yoke over the center anchor
hole and hand tighten. (Fig. 6)
Pivot the yoke and measure the
distance from the center of the
bottom bearing housing to the
center of each of the other two
yoke holes, making sure the
distance is the same to each.
This “sparing of the yoke” is
necessary so that the entrance
and exit are equal in distance.
(See Fig 7)
INSTALLATION OF YOKE
7. Mark the yoke mounting holes.
Drill and clean and insert one
anchor into each hole. Pivot the
yoke with the center bolt
installed to clean, drill and
install anchors. Anchor the
yoke. Mount using three (3) 3/8-
16 x 2½” HHCS and three (3)
3/8” flat washers.
8. Using a torpedo level ensure
that the yoke is vertical. Shim
as needed.

INSTALLATION continued
9. Slide the OV section into position.
(See Fig. 8) (the position should have
been marked when the first chalk
lines were made.) Mark the location
of the four anchoring holes for the
OV. Remove the OV and drill the four
marked holes (5/8” holes, 3” deep).
Insert one anchor in each hole,
tapping anchor flush with the ground
so it is level. Then reposition OV over
its anchoring locations. Anchor the
OV using four (4) 3/8-16 x 2½” HHCS
and washers. Check for level and
plumb using a torpedo level.
INSTALLATION OF OV
INSTALLATION OF ROTO SECTION
10. Locate the roto section, bottom
bearing and base cover. Slide the
base cover over the bearing housing.
(See Fig. 12, pg. 9) Fit the bottom
bearing into the roto shaft. Note: the
flange portion of the bearing fits “up”
into the roto.

INSTALLATION continued
11. Apply a light coating of grease to the
shaft mounted on the channel and
the interior spline of the roto to assist
in the sliding together of these
pieces. (See Figs. 10 & 11)
12. Grease interior portion of the
bearing housing and place
bearing housing cover over
housing. (See Fig. 12)
13. Place the roto section into the
bearing housing. Make sure the
bearings turn freely and there is
no binding.
Alvarado – MST / MSTX Turnstile
10
INSTALLATION continued
14. With a person holding the
roto section upright, lower
the top channel on top of
the yoke and the roto. (See
Fig. 13 & note below)
INSTALLATION OF
TOP CHANNEL
NOTE: The shaft is missing a valley in the splines. Align this area with the additional
ridges in the roto portions. The correct placement will have the roto unit with one set of
arms directly in the middle part of the yoke section. The fit is often very tight. Use a
mallet to seat the top channel and shaft while moving the roto.
PLEASE NOTE: Hit the shaft only on the center section of the shaft. Hitting the
brake unit or the self-centering unit will only damage these parts and will not aid
in installation.
