IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Install the gate operator only when:
a.
The operator is appropriate for the construction of the gate and usage Class of the gate
(refer to page 5),
b.
All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or screened from the bottom of the
gate to a minimum of 6 feet (1.83 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,

be supplied with a separate access opening. For pedestrian access in the vicinity of an
automated vehicular gate, separate pedestrian access shall be provided or available. The
pedestrian access shall be in a location such that a pedestrian shall not come in contact
with a moving vehicular access gate during the entire path of travel of the vehicular gate. A
pedestrian gate shall not be incorporated into an automated vehicular gate panel.

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 in to the public access areas.
4.
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.
