PLEASE START BY READING THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES
This safety alert symbol means "Caution" - failure to comply with such an instruction involves risk of personal
injury or damage to property. Please read these warnings carefully.
This gate drive mechanism is designed and tested to offer appropriately safe service provided it is installed and
operated in strict accordance with the following safety rules.
Incorrect installation and/or failure to comply with the following instructions may result in serious personal
injury or property damage.
Installation and wiring must be in compliance
with your local building and electrical
installation codes. Power cables must only be
connected to a properly earthed supply.
Disconnect electric power to the system before
making repairs or removing covers.
A disconnecting device must be provided in the
permanently-wired installation to guarantee all-
pole disconnection by means of a switch (at least
3mm contact gap) or by a separate fuse.
When using tools and small parts to install or
carry out repair work on a gate exercise caution
and do not wear rings, watches or loose
clothing.
Make sure that people who install, maintain or
operate the gate drive and/or the control board
are qualified and follow these instructions.
Keep these instructions in a safe place so that
you can refer to them quickly when you need to.
Please remove any locks fitted to the gate in order
to prevent damage to the gate.
Frequently examine the installation for imbalance
and signs of wear or damage to cables, hardware
and mountings. Do not use if repair or
adjustment is necessary. Gates which stick or
jam must be repaired immediately. Employ a
qualified technician to repair the gate, never
attempt to repair it yourself.
Keep additional accessories away from children.
Do not allow children to play with pushbuttons
or remote controls. A gate can cause serious
injuries as it closes.
After the installation a final test of the full
function of the system and the full function of
the safety devices must be done.
The full protection against potential squeeze or
entrapment must work direct when the drive arms
are installed.
This drive cannot be used with a gate
incorporating a wicket door unless the drive
cannot be operated with the wicket door open.
