PLEASE START BY READING THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES
This safety alert symbol means „Caution" - failure to comply with such an instruction involves risk of personal
injury or damage to property. Please read these warnings carefully.
This gate drive mechanism is designed and tested to offer appropriately safe service provided it is installed and
operated in strict accordance with the following safety rules.
Incorrect installation and/or failure to comply with the following instructions may result in serious personal
injury or property damage.
When using tools and small parts to install or
carry out repair work on a gate exercise caution
and do not wear rings, watches or loose
clothing.
Installation and wiring must be in compliance
with your local building and electrical
installation codes. Power cables must only be
connected to a properly earthed supply.
Entrapment protection devices MUST be
installed to protect anyone who may come
near a moving gate. Locate entrapment
protection devices to protect in BOTH the
open and close gate cycles. Locate
entrapment protection devices to protect
between moving gate and RIGID objects,
such as posts.
Please remove any locks fi tted to the gate in
order to prevent damage to the gate.
After the installation a fi nal test of the full
function of the system and the full function of
the safety devices must be done.
This drive cannot be used with a gate
incorporating a wicket door unless the drive
cannot be operated with the wicket door open.
Gate must not extend over public byway during
operation.
Lightweight gates must be substantially
reinforced to avoid gate damage. The best
solution is to check with your gate manufacturer
for an opener installation reinforcement kit.
Activate opener only when the gate is in full
view, free of obstructions.
Do not allow children to play near the gate.
Humidity and water destroy the control board.
Make sure under all circumstances that water,
humidity or dammed-up water cannot penetrate
the control board covering.
