Important Safety Information
Entrapment Zones for a proper Pull-To-Open installation:
Zone 1 – leading edge of the gate and the fence post.
Zone 2 – between the gate and the gate post.
Zone 3 – the path of the gate.
Zone 4 – the space between the gate in the open position and any object such as a wall, fence, tree, etc.
Zone 5 – pinch points between the opener and gate.
II. During Installation
1. Install the gate opener on the inside of the prop-
erty and fence line. DO NOT install an opener
on the outside of the gate where the public has
access to it.
2. Be careful with moving parts and avoid close
proximity to areas where fingers or hands could
be pinched.
3. Devices such as contact sensors (safety
edges) and non contact sensors (photo beams)
provide additional protection against entrapment.

4. If push buttons or key switches are installed, they
should be within sight of the gate, yet located at
least 10 feet from any moving part of the gate
(see diagram below). Never install any control
device where a user will be tempted to reach
through the gate to activate the gate opener.
5. Do not activate your gate opener unless you can
see it and can determine that its area of travel is
clear of people, pets, or other obstructions. Watch
the gate through its entire movement.
6. Secure outdoor or easily accessed gate opener
controls in order to prohibit unauthorized use of
the gate.
