WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH
1.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
2.
Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep remote/transmitter control away from children.
3.
Always keep people and objects away from the gate.
4.
NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF A MOVING GATE.
5.
Test gate operator monthly. The gate must stop and reverse directions upon contacting a rigid object or
when the secondary entrapment device is activated.
6.
After all adjustments have been made to the limit switches, sensitivity (current sense) circuit, secondary
entrapment devices and all other external devices installed the safety devices must be checked again. Failure
to adjust and retest the gate operator can increase the risk of injury or death.
7.
Verify that the emergency release (manual release) pin can be easily removed. This should only be checked
when power is disconnected from the operator.
8.
KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the user manual and have a qualified service technician
make repairs to the gate hardware.

SAFETY SECTION
All safety features required by UL-325 are incorporated in the capabilities of all USAutomatic Control boards
and should be utilized, including but not limited to, safety edges, photo electric eyes, reverse sensing, and
motion sensing.
Cautions - Very Important
Do not attempt to enter the gate area while the gate is moving. Wait until the gate comes to a complete stop.
Operate the gate only when it is fully visible, free of persons or obstructions, and properly adjusted.
Do not allow children to play in the area of the gate. Do not allow anyone to ride on the gate.
Do not allow children to play with the remote/transmitter or any other activation device. Do not attempt to "beat the
gate" while the gate is opening or closing. This is extremely dangerous.
Test the current sense feature and all safety devices regularly to insure correct operation.
Study this entire Safety Section paying particularly close attention to the entrapment zones shown below and be
aware of these areas not only during use but also during any adjustments to the unit.
