Class of the gate (refer to page 5),
b. All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or screened from the
bottom of the gate to a minimum of 4 feet (1. 22 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,

gate such that persons will not come into contact with the vehicular gate
during the entire path of travel of the vehicular gate.

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

the installation of the gate operator. Do not over-tighten the operator clutch
or pressure relief valve to compensate for a damaged gate.
