IMPORTANT - READ CAREFULLY BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION
WARNING—To reduce the risk of injury or death:
•
Read this installation manual completely prior to installation.
•
Installation should be performed by a professional installer.
•
Required welding should be performed by a qualified welder.
•
Should electricity be required, use a certified electrician only.
•
Any device that requires 120 Volts AC should be U.L. approved.
•
Review with the owner all safety concerns including:
⇒
Do not operate the gate unless area around gate is in full view.
⇒
Do not allow children or adults to “ride” on gate during operation.
⇒
Do not allow children to play in the gate area.
⇒
Periodically test the obstruction sensitivity to assure safe and
proper operation. **Do not test sensitivity by standing between the
gate and the hinge or stop post.
⇒
Keep the remote control away from children.
⇒
The “CAUTION AUTOMATIC GATE” sign should be clearly visible
from both sides of the gate.
⇒
Always insure that the gate has closed securely before leaving
area.
⇒
Arrange with local fire and law enforcement for emergency access.
⇒
Always keep people and objects away from the gate. No person
should cross the path of the moving gate.
•
Recommend safety devices such as loop detectors, edge switches, and
beam detectors when applicable.
•
Install control devices such as keypads far enough away (5 feet or further)
from any moving parts of the operator and gate to prevent possible injury.
•
Always disconnect the battery or power source when making adjustments
or repairs to any part of the gate or operator.
•
All rollers should be covered to prevent injury.
Test the gate operator monthly. The gate must reverse on contact with a rigid
object or stop when an object activates the non contact sensors. After adjust-
ing the force or limit of travel, retest the gate operator. Failure to adjust and
retest the gate operator properly can increase the risk of injury or death.
