NOTE:
Substitute a
Pin Lock
for the clevis pin on the front mount
of the gate operator to prevent unauthorized removal of the operator
from the gate (
see accessory pages in back of this book).
CAUTION
The gate will move freely and uncontrolled when the gate operator is removed from the gate. ONLY disconnect
the operator when the control box power switch is OFF and the gate is NOT moving.
Because automatic gate operators produce high levels
of force, consumers need to know the potential hazards
associated with improperly designed, installed, and
maintained automated gate operator systems.
Keep in
mind that the gate operator is just one component
of the total gate operating system.
Each component
must work in unison to provide the end user with
convenience, security, and safety.
This manual contains various safety precautions and
warnings for the installer and end user. Because there
are many possible applications of the gate operator,

disconnected.
