important safety instruCtions!
cOnsideRing the geneRal public:
when installing an automatic gate that will be entered from a public road
way, make sure the Gate is placed far enough from the road to prevent traffic
congestion.
the gate must be installed in a location that provides adequate clearance
between it and adjacent structures when opening and closing to reduce risk of
entrapment.
install the gate operator on the inside of the property and fence line.
dO nOt
install an opener on the outside of the gate where the public has access to it.
the gate and gate operator must comply with any applicable local council
regulations.
cOnsideRing the useRs:
if using the auto-close feature it is highly recommended that a point to point
photo electric safety Beam (photocell) is installed to prevent the gate closing
on any vehicle using the gate.
it is also recommended that a seperate small side gate is used for pedestrians
particularly if there will be children, disabled or elderly people using the gate.
if push buttons, key switches or digital keypads are installed, they should be
within sight of the gate but not placed so the user will be tempted to reach
through the gate to activate the gate operator.
useR awaReness:
it is important to make sure everyone that will be using the gate is aware of the
following dangers associated with automatic gates: do not contact any part of
the gate or walk in the path of the gate while it is moving. never let children
play with the gate controls. do not attempt to “beat the gate” while it is closing.
this is extremely dangerous.
in the event you sell the property, make sure the new owners have a copy of
these instructions. if you lose the instructions they can be downloaded from:
