•
The operator is appropriate for the construction of the gate and the
usage Class of the gate.
•
All openings of horizontal slide gat are guarded or screened from the
bottom of the gate to a minimun of 4 fet (1,2 m) above the fround to
prevent a 2-1/4 inch (57,15 mm) diameter sphere from passing trough
the openings anywhere in the gate, and in that portion of the adjacent
fence the gate covers in the open position.
•
All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded.
•
Guarding i s supplied for exposed rollers.
•
The operator is intended for installation only on gates used for vehicles.
Pedestrians must supplied with a separate access opening.
•
The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is

gate.
FOR GATE OPERATOR WITH HOLD-TO-RUN CONTROL:
•
The gate operator controls must be placed so that the user has full view
of the gate area when the gate is moving,
•
A sign with the message “WARNING” must be positioned near the
