Instructions for the installation, adjustment, and wiring of external controls and devices serving as required protection against
entrapment shall be provided with the operator when such controls are shipped with the operator.
Instructions regarding intended installation of the gate operator shall be supplied as part of the installation instructions or as a
separate document. The following instructions or the equivalent shall be supplied where applicable:
a) Install the gate operator only when:
1) The operator is appropriate for the construction of the gate and the usage Class of the gate,
2) All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or screened from the bottom of the gate to a minimum of 4 feet (1.22
m) above the ground to prevent a 2-1/4 inch (57.2 mm) diameter sphere from passing through the openings anywhere in
the gate, and in that portion of the adjacent fence that the gate covers in the open position,
3) All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded, and
4) Guarding is supplied for exposed rollers.
b) The operator is intended for installation only on gates used for vehicles. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate access

not come in contact with the vehicular gate during the entire path of travel of the vehicular gate.
c) The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is supplied between the gate and adjacent structures when
opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment. Swinging gates shall not open into public access areas.
d) The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions prior to the installation of the gate operator. Do not over-
tighten the operator clutch or pressure relief valve to compensate for a damaged gate.
e) (not applicable)
f) Controls intended for user activation must be located at least six feet (6’) away from any moving part of the gate and where the
user is prevented from reaching over, under, around or through the gate to operate the controls. Outdoor or easily accessible
