CAUTION

’

Disconnect power at the control panel before making any electric service power connections.

’

Be aware of all moving parts and avoid proximity to any pinch points.

IMPORTANT!

’

The gate operator installation is NOT a “do-it-yourself” project. Contract a qualified gate operator installation

company to install this system to ensure a safe and reliable installation.

’

It is the responsibility of the property owner to ensure the installer is qualified to carry out the installation in

a safe and professional manner.

’

Consult local government agencies for up-to-date rules and regulations to satisfy licensing, codes or

regulations that regulate automated gate system design and installation.

’

The gate for which the gate operator is intended to be used should itself be installed correctly so that it is

level and plumb and the gate opens easily and evenly.

’

Note that Nice swing gate systems are not intended for installation on an incline.

Below is a list of tools necessary for installation of the Apollo 816 LA actuator:

•
