INSTALLER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE INSTALLATION
▲
1. Check to see that the operator is proper for this type and size 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 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 disconnect mechanism 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.
