IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH from an incorrect installation:
1. Vehicular gate systems provide convenience and security. Gate systems are comprised of many
component parts. The gate operator is ONLY one component. Each gate system is specifically
designed for an individual application.
2. Gate operating system designers, installers and users MUST take into account the possible
hazards associated with each individual application. Improperly designed, installed or maintained
systems can create risks for the user as well as the bystander. Gate systems design and
installation MUST reduce public exposure to potential hazards.
3. A gate operator can create high levels of force in its function as a component part of a gate
system. Therefore, safety features must be incorporated into every design. Specific safety
features include:
• Gate Edges • Guards for exposed rollers • Photoelectric Sensors
• Screen Mesh • Vertical Posts • Instructional and Precautionary Signage
4. Install the gate operator only when:
a. The operator is appropriate for the construction and the usage of the gate.
b. ALL openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or screened from the bottom of the gate
to a minimum of 4' (1.2 m) above the ground to prevent a 2 1/4" (6 cm) diameter sphere
from passing through the openings anywhere in the gate, and in that portion of the adjacent
fence that the gate covers in the open position.
c. ALL exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded, and guarding is supplied for exposed
rollers.
5. The operator is intended for installation on gates used for vehicles. Pedestrians should be
supplied with a separate access opening.
6. The gate MUST be installed in a location so that enough clearance is supplied between the gate
and adjacent structures when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment.
7. The gate MUST be properly installed and work freely in both directions prior to the installation
of the gate operator.
8. Controls MUST be far enough from the gate so that the user is prevented from coming in
contact with the gate while operating the controls.
9. BEFORE installing the drive, check that the driven part is in good mechanical condition, correctly
balanced and opens and closes properly.
