MM260 Installation Instructions
v
II. During Installation
1. Install the gate operator on the inside of the prop-
erty and fence line.
DO NOT
install an operator
on the outside of the gate where the public has
access to it.
2. Be careful with moving parts and avoid close
proximity to areas where fingers or hands could
be pinched.
3. Devices such as contact sensors (sensing
edges) and non contact sensors (photo beams)
provide additional protection against vehicular
damage.
4. If push buttons or key switches are installed, they
should be within sight of the gate, located at least
10 feet from any moving part of the gate (see
diagram below).
Never install any control device
where a user will be tempted to reach through
the gate to activate the gate operator.
5. Do not activate your gate operator unless you can
see it and can determine that its area of travel is
clear of people, pets, or other obstructions. Watch
the gate through its entire movement.
6. Secure outdoor or easily accessed gate operator
controls in order to prohibit unauthorized use of
the gate.
