WARNING SIGN PLACEMENT
The gate operator is provided with two safety warning placards.
The placards are to be installed on each side of the gate where
they are plainly visible. The placards may be mounted using sheet
metal screws through the six holes provided on each placard.
All warning signs and placards must be installed where visible in
the area of the gate.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR SWING AND
ORNAMENTAL “GRILL TYPE” GATES
The primary arm is designed to clamp onto the output shaft in
such a way that the arm will slip on the shaft in the event that an
obstruction exists in the path of the gate. The bolts for securing
the primary arm should be tightened to a torque that will cause
the gate to push with minimum force. Tighten both bolts with
equal torque, then push on the end of the gate to determine the
amount of force necessary to cause the arm to slip.
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a moving gate:
• Install warning signs on EACH side of gate in PLAIN VIEW.
• Permanently secure each warning sign in a suitable manner
using fastening holes.
