INSTALLER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE INSTALLATION
▲
1. Check to see that the operator is proper for this type,
size and class of gate and its frequency of use. If
you are not sure, consult factory.
▲
2. Check to see that there are no structures adjacent to
the area, which may pose a risk of entrapment when
gate is opening or closing.
▲
3. You must ensure that the gate has been properly
installed and works freely in both directions. Replace
8
or service any worn or damaged gate hardware prior
to installation. A freely moving gate will require less
force to operate and enhance the performance of
the operator as well as the safety devices used
within the system.
▲
4. Install the gate operator on the inside of the property
and/or fence line.
DO NOT
install an operator on the
public side of the gate.
▲
5. Severe injury or death can result from entrapment by
a gate. The operator is supplied with an obstruction
sensing primary entrapment protection system.
Additional safety equipment such as electric edges
or photocell sensors must be installed to provide the
required secondary entrapment protection system.
For assistance in selecting the correct type of safety
equipment, consult the factory.
▲
6. Review the operation of the unit and become familiar
with the manual operation procedure and safety
features of the system.
▲
7. You must install a pushbutton control or key switch
to allow for normal operation of the gate if the
automatic controls do not work. Locate the push
button or key switch and small warning placard
within sight of the gate in a secured area at least 10
feet or more from the gate and fence to keep users
away from the moving gate and fence.
▲
8. Outdoor or easily accessed gate controls should be
of the security type to prohibit unauthorized use.
