Page 3: Important Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury or death: READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Installation should be performed by a professional installer. Should electricity be required, use a certified electrician only. Any device that requires 120 Volts AC should be U.L. approved. Install control devices such as keypads far enough away (5 feet or further) from any moving parts of the operator and gate to prevent possible injury. -
Page 4: Applications
These dealers will be able to recommend the proper equipment for particular applications. Apollo Operators are 12 Volt DC (Direct Current) powered. If a elec- trical battery charger is used a 12 Volt sealed battery (33 ampere hour minimum) is recommended . -
