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 through the gate to
operate any controls. Never place controls on the gate operator
itself.
