Because automatic gate operators produce high levels
of force, consumers need to know the potential hazards
associated with improperly designed, installed, and
maintained automated gate operator systems.

mind that the gate operator is just one component
of the total gate operating system.
Each component
must work in unison to provide the end user with
convenience, security, and safety.
This manual contains various safety precautions and
warnings for the installer and end user. Because there
are many possible applications of the gate operator,

when the operator is disconnected.
