
•
Keep a safe distance from the moving gate. Warning icons to this effect
have been installed in various locations.
•
Only pass through the gate when it is completely open.
•
The gate must not be operated in windy conditions, wind force ≥9
Beaufort. The gate leaf can swing in a way that can result in damage to
the construction.
•
The safety edges serve as emergency facilities to immediately stop and
reverse the gate movement. Using them as a regular gate stop feature is
not allowed. Since the head stiles of the gate have safety edges that
cannot cover their full height, there is still some risk of people getting
trapped by the gate here.
• When hold-to-run-control is employed, the gate must only be operated if
it can be seen completely, directly and in real-time. Operation must be via
a permanently installed operating device, for instance a key switch or
push button. This operating device must be located in such a way that the
operator's position is safe. The gate must stop immediately when the
button or key is released. Other operating devices are not allowed.
•
The gate must be able to move freely without there being obstacles in the
gate opening passage or anywhere else on the moving trajectory of the
gate. Do not stick any objects through, over or under the gate which
might block the gate.
•
The gate running surface must always be free from snow, ice or dirt that
might affect its sliding behaviour. In the event of frost, check this before
commissioning the gate. If the running surface is blocked, the gate will
not move at all or will not complete its movement. An irregular running
surface may cause damage to the drive and/or road wheels.
