Carefully read, follow, and accept all safety precautions and warnings
. I
ncorrect installation can lead
to severe injury or death.
• The gate operator must be installed by a trained gate technician; otherwise serious personal injury or
property damage may occur.
• Installing a gate operator may require installation of standard 110V-120V AC electrical wiring. This
work should only be performed by an experienced electrician. Miswiring could cause personal injury or
DEATH.
• Never let children operate the gate or play around the gate. Keep the remote control away from
children.
• Always keep people and objects away from the gate. Cars, people, and other objects should never
enter when the gate is closing.
• Verify that this operator is proper for the type, weight, and size of the gate.
• Make sure the gate has been properly installed and slides freely in both directions with no resistance.
Repair or replace all worn or damaged gate hardware prior to installation.
• Test gate operator monthly. The gate must reverse when it comes in contact with a solid object, or
stop when an object activates the non-contact sensors. After adjusting the force or travel limit, re-test
the gate operator. Failure to maintain the gate operator properly can increase the risk of injury or
death.
• Use the emergency release only when the gate is not moving.
• Keep the gate and gate operator properly maintained. Read the maintenance section of this manual
and follow the maintenance schedule. Have a certified service technician make repairs or install gate
operator hardware.
• Gate operators can use a huge amount of force to open and close a gate. Therefore, safety features
must be taken into consideration when installing and using a gate operator. Specific safety features
include: photoelectric sensors, edge sensors (contact), moving gate warning signs, guards for exposed
rollers, screen mesh, vertical posts, and more.
• 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.
• Entrapment is defined as when a person, vehicle, or object is caught or held in a position that
increases the risk of injury.
• Access controls intended for users must be located at least 6 feet (1.8m) away from any moving part
of the gate and where the user is prevented from reaching over, under, around, or through the gate to
operate the controls.
