IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
!
WARNING! To reduce the risk of severe injury or death.
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote away from
children.
3. Always keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE
PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.
4. Test the gate operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object or
when an object activates the non-contact sensors. After adjusting the force or the limit
travel, retest the gate operator. Failure to adjust and retest the gate operator properly
can increase the risk of injury or death.

6. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the user’s manual. Have a qualified service
person make repairs to gate hardware.
7. The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must use a separate entrance.
8. Every gate operator installation MUST have secondary protection devices against
entrapment, such as edge sensors and photo beams more in particularly in places
where the risk of entrapment is more likely to occur.
9. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Install the gate operator only when:
a. The operator is appropriate for the construction of the gate and usage Class of the
gate (refer to page 9),
b. All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or screened from the bottom of
the gate to a minimum of 6 feet (1.83 m) above the ground to prevent a 2-1/4 inch
(57. 2 mm) diameter sphere from passing through the openings anywhere in the gate,
and in that portion of the adjacent fence that the gate covers in the open position,
c. ALL EXPOSED PINCH POINTS ARE ELIMINATED OR GUARDED, AND
d. GUARDING IS SUPPLIED FOR EXPOSED ROLLERS.
2. The Operator is intended for installation only on gates used for vehicles. Pedestrians
must be supplied with a separate access opening. The pedestrian access opening
shall be designed to promote pedestrian usage. Locate the gate such that persons will
not come into contact with the vehicular gate during the entire path of travel of the
vehicular gate.
3. The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is supplied between
the gate and adjacent structures when opening and closing to reduce the risk of
entrapment. Swinging gates shall not open in to the public access areas.
4. The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions prior to the
installation of the gate operator. Do not over-tighten the operator clutch or pressure
relief valve to compensate for a damaged gate.
5. The gate operator controls must be placed so that the user has full view of the gate area
when the gate is moving AND AWAY FROM THE GATE PATH PERIMETER.
6. Controls intended for user activation must be located at least six feet (6’) away from
any moving part of the gate and where the user is prevented from reaching over, under,
around or through the gate to operate the controls.
Exception:
Emergency access controls only accessible by authorized personnel (i.e. fire,
police, EMS) may be placed at any location in the line-of-sight of the gate.
