IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND INSTRUCTIONS TO COMMUNICATE TO OWNERS/USERS
• How to use the manual brake disconnect by pulling down the manual brake disconnect under the
drive motor secured inside the column, and manually pushing the gate(s) open and close.
• To contract a qualified service company for regular maintenance and safety checks to ensure correct
function of the gate.
All access controls must be located far enough from the gate so that the user is prevented from coming into
contact with the gate while operating the controls. Although this requires a site-dependent evaluation,
typically a distance of 6 feet (1.83 meters) between the controls and any portion of the SpeedGate should
be considered as meeting these installation criteria. Outdoor or easily accessible controls shall have a
security feature to prevent unauthorized use. It is strongly recommended that the Electrical Controls
Enclosure be kept locked at all times, for which a locking door has been provided.
Following the complete installation and testing of the system, the installer must provide to the end user
a thorough briefing and demonstration of the gate system. See “End User Briefing Instructions” on page
137. It is recommended that one copy of the instructions be signed by both the installer and end user,
dated, and retained in a file by the installation company as a permanent record this briefing has been
done.
Before attempting a manual release,
make sure the gate is not moving.
A moving gate can cause serious injury
or death. Start the gate system only
when the gate’s travel path is clear.
