  • Page 18: Operator Positioning

    GATE OPERATOR INSTALLATION Operator Positioning IMPORTANT: 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.
  • Page 19 GATE OPERATOR INSTALLATION ! TECHNICAL TIP: Before completing the installation procedure; • Open and close the gate manually, making sure there is sufficient space between the gate and adjacent walls. • Check that the wheels are turning freely on the track and there are no restrictions while pushing the gate to the open and closed positions. • Confirm that there is adequate spacing for the guide rollers and that there are no restrictions throughout the travel of the gate.
