Important Information – Review Before Installation
Automatic gate operators provide convenience and security to users. However, because these
machines can produce high levels of force it is important that all gate operator system designers,
installers and end users be aware of the potential hazards associated with improperly designed, installed
or maintained systems. Keep in mind that the gate operator is only one component of the total gate
operating system. It is the joint responsibility of the specifier, designer, purchaser, installer and end user
to verify that the total system is appropriately configured for its intended use. All parties should be
informed that entrapment in a moving gate could cause serious injury or death.

Important Instructions for Gate System Designers & Installers:
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, read and follow all instructions in the
gate operator handbook and on the warning labels.
Install an Automatic Gate Operator only When:
Y
The entry is configured for vehicular use only. Pedestrians must be directed to a
separate walk-through entrance.
Y
The Warning signs that have been supplied with this operator must be installed,
in manner clearly visible, in the area of both sides of the gate.
Y
All exposed pinch points, are guarded. To reduce the risk of entrapment, the
gate must also be installed so that enough clearance is provided between the
gate and adjacent structures both when opening and closing.
Y
The controls that operate the gate have been mounted far enough away from the moving gate such
that users cannot touch the gate while operating the controls. All easily accessible controls must
have a security feature to prevent unauthorized use.
