The sliding gate can cause severe injuries or even death.
It is strictly forbidden to allow pedestrians to walk through the gate.
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.
The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions prior to the
installation of the gate operator. Do not over-tighten the operator clutch (by
screwing bolts) to compensate for a damaged gate.
Controls intended for user activation must be located at least six feet (6’) 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. Outdoor or easily
accessible controls shall have a security feature to prevent unauthorized use.
The Stop and/or Reset button must be located in the line-of-sight of the gate.
Activation of the reset control shall not cause the operator to start.
A minimum of two (2) WARNING SIGNS shall be installed, one on each side of the
gate where easily visible.
One or more contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or
obstruction exists.
Warning signals showing risk of injuries that can be cause by a rising gate must be
installed.
Never let children operate gate controls or play close to the gate, even under
adult supervision.
If you have any doubt about your installation or for any information, contact us
directly or contact your authorized dealer of gates from

Intervention site
Any technician having to work on a gate-system must establish a safety perimeter
around the electrical rising gate with yellow or red safety ribbon. Orange cones can
also be use to establish a safe work area.
Plan a way to divert traffic while working on the gate-system. If that’s impossible,
be sure to put proper signalisation for drivers traveling near the gate area.
