WARNINGS:
Gate operator 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 bystanders. Gate
systems installation and design must reduce public exposure to potential hazards.
The operator is intended for installation for applications used for motor vehicles only.
Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate access opening. The pedestrian access
opening shall be designed to promote pedestrian usage. Locate the gate so that persons
will not come in contact with the vehicular gate during the entire path of travel of the
vehicular gate.
Keep all pedestrians out of the traffic lane and away from the moving gate. Signage
indicating "NO PEDESTRIANS" is recommended. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH
OF THE MOVING GATE ARM.
Install safety devices such as loops and loop detectors, safety edges, and/or photo
beams in all installations to prevent the gate from closing on a vehicle.
Do not install the gate operator in a location where the arm can come within 16
” of a
stationary object. 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.
Use only good quality pine for the gate arm. The use of materials other than wood may
result in damage to the gate operator.
Do not install any opening or closing device out of view of the gate when the devices are
operated. Controls shall be far enough from the gate arm or positioned to prevent the
user from coming in contact with the arm while operating the controls.
Stay clear of the pulleys, belts, and gate arm at all times.
Always turn off power before attempting any service.
