WARNING
NOTE
 Be aware of and follow the safety standards of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA), as well as any applicable Federal, State, Local Project Specification and Industry Standards or
Procedures.
 Only experienced personnel are to install, operate and maintain the equipment. Serious injury or equip-
ment damage can occur if installed or operated by untrained personnel. Installers of the equipment must
follow the specific instructions and safety precautions located in this manual.
 At NO time should the Drop arm/gate be modified in any way. Under NO circumstances should you drill
into the Drop arm/gate Housing with prior written authorization from AutoGate.
 Do not add any additional weight to the Drop arm/gate or applicable gate panel without first contacting
AutoGate. This can affect the balancing and operation of the system.
 Always keep people, equipment and objects away from all moving parts and entrapment/pinch points of
the system. NO PERSON OR OBJECT SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.

Test the operator monthly. The drop arm/gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object or stop when
an object activates the non-contact sensors or contact sensor. After adjusting the force or the limit of trav-
el, reset the operator. Failure to adjust and reset the operator properly can increase the risk of injury or
death. Never use the gear motor release/engage lever when the gate is moving and not powered down.
 This gate system is for vehicles only. PEDESTRIANS MUST USE A SEPARATE ENTRANCE!
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
 The Shield can produce high levels of force. It is very important that all installers and designers are fully
aware of potential hazards that exist with incorrectly installed or designed systems. The internal safety
capabilities of a gate operator system are not enough to remove the risk of injury. The operator is only
one part of a properly installed system which when combined with correctly installed reversing devices,
will yield a system that will not only provide convenience and security, but will be safer and minimize risk
of injury. These instructions are to make you aware of potential areas that are of a safety concern. Disre-
garding any of the following may result in
Serious Injury or Death !
