WARNING
It is critical that you install the
elbow joint covers to comply
with UL 325 Safety Standards. The elbow
joint is considered a pinch point and serious
injury may occur if the covers are not secured
properly to the gate arms.

To accommodate the covers, saw off the excess
on the over-extension stop.
Align the top and bottom covers and insert the
two fasteners.
NOTE:
The gap between the two covers should
be less than ¼-inch (6mm).

The taper clamp is designed to break free when a gate
strike occurs, but not slip during normal operations. Set
it properly, by taking the following steps:
Loosen the taper clamp so you can manually swing
the gate half way between the open and close
position (above a 45° angle).
Move the taper handle clockwise in ¼ turn increments
until the gate cannot be pushed manually.
Continue to incrementally turn the taper handle until
the clamp is set so that it only breaks free with a
strong push that simulates a gate strike.
NOTE:
A large amount of torque is not required to
obtain a tight clamp setting. At highly secure facilities,
to reduce the chance of someone manually forcing
the gate open, remove the set screw from the elbow
joint and straighten the arm. Straightening the arm is
preferable to over-tightening the taper clamp.
