IMPORTANT SAFETY
INFORMATION
General Safety Information
Vehicular gates are large heavy objects. Automatic gate
openers provide a convenient way to open and close
the gates. Since the gate system and its components
exert a high level of force to open and close the gate,
they can be dangerous, causing severe injuries and
death to you and others.
Your safety and the safety of others depend on the
owner and users of this system to read, understand, and
follow the information and instructions in this manual.
Save this safety information for future use.
Safety overview checklist
WARNING – To reduce the risk of injury or death:
• Use this operator only with single swing gates.
• READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
• Never let children operate or play with gate controls.
Keep the remote control away from children.
• Always keep people and objects away from the gate.
NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING
GATE.
• Test the gate operator monthly. The gate MUST
reverse on contact with a rigid object or stop when an
object activates the non-contact sensors. After adjust-
ing the force or the limit of travel, retest the gate
operator. Failure to adjust and retest the gate operator
properly can increase the risk of injury or death.

er’s manual. Have a qualified service person make

separate access opening. The pedestrian access open-
ing shall be designed to promote pedestrian usage.

conatct with the vehicular gate during the entire path
of travel of the vehicular gate.
