Installation Handover
Once the installation has been successfully completed and tested, it is important for the installer to
explain the operation and safety requirements of the system.
NEVER ASSUME THE USER KNOWS HOW TO SAFELY OPERATE AN AUTOMATED GATE
. Even if the
user has used one before, it does not mean he knows how to
SAFELY
operate it. Make sure that the user
fully understands the following safety requirements before finally handing over the site.
Ensure that the user fully understands:
!
How to operate the manual release mechanism. (By demonstration)
!
How the obstruction detection and all other safety features work. (By demonstration)
!
All the safety considerations associated with operating an automated gate, and that he
understands that he is responsible for explaining these safety instructions to all other users of
the automated system:
1. Do not activate your gate operator unless you can see it and can determine that its area of
travel is clear of people pets, or other obstructions.
2.
NO ONE MAY CROSS THE PATH OF A MOVING GATE
. Always keep people and objects
away from the gate and its area of travel.
3.
NEVER LET CHILDREN OPERATE OR PLAY WITH THE GATE CONTROLS
, and do not
allow children or pets near the gate area.
4. Be careful with moving parts and avoid close proximity to areas where fingers or hands could
be pinched.
5. Secure all easily accessed gate operator controls in order to prevent unauthorized use of the
gate.
6. Keep the automated gate system properly maintained, and ensure that all working areas are
free of debris and other objects that could affect the gate operation and safety.
7. On a monthly basis, check the obstruction detection system and safety devices for correct
operation.
8. All repair and service work to this product must be done by a suitably qualified person.
