SYSTEM DESIGNER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
▲
1. Familiarize yourself with the precautions and
warnings for the installer. Users are relying on your
design to provide a safe installation.
▲
2. The operator is supplied with a primary obstruction
sensing entrapment protection system. The
installation must also have a secondary entrapment
protection system installed, such as photoelectric
sensors or an electric edge system.
▲
3. When designing a system that will be entered from a
highway or main thoroughfare be sure the system is
placed far enough away from the road to eliminate
traffic backup. Distance from the road, size of the
gate, usage levels, and gate cycle/speed must be
considered to eliminate potential traffic hazards.
▲
4. The majority of injuries from slide gate operator
systems occur with Open Roller or Ornamental Grille
Type Gates.
We strongly recommend the use of
roller guards.
The illustrations and descriptive
captions found on the following pages provide
precautions to help eliminate injuries or fatalities.
Familiarize yourself with them when designing the
total system.
▲
5. Design the gate system so a person cannot reach
over, under, around, or through the gate to operate
any controls. Never place controls on the gate
operator itself.
