Important safetY InformatIon
To reduce the risk of injury or death:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Read the gate operator's product manual and review all the product
labels and literature prior to installing, operating, or maintaining the automatic gate operator.
2. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep all remote controls, especially radio transmitters, away
from children. Do not allow children to play on or around the gate or gate operators.
3. Always keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING
GATE. Start the gate operator only when a gate's travel path is clear.
4. 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 adjusting the force or the limit of travel, retest the gate operator. Perform
routine tests of the entrapment protection sensors, such as photo eyes and gate edges. Failure to adjust and
retest the gate operator properly can increase the risk of injury or death.
5. Use the emergency release only when the gate is not moving.
6. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the product manuals. Have a qualified service person make repairs
to gate hardware and replace batteries in accessory or entrapment sensory devices on a regular basis.
7. The automated gate entry is for vehicle use only. Pedestrians must use a separate entrance. Make sure a separate
walk-through entrance is nearby. Make certain a clear pedestrian path is designated and signs direct pedestrians
to the walk-through gate.
8. Install the supplied WARNING signs on the inside and outside of the gate or barrier gate/operator so they are
clearly visible from both the secure and public sides. Installing the signs is a requirement for UL 325 compliance.
9. Use monitored sensors for protection against entrapment as specified in the current UL 325 Standard of Safety.

Safety - Additional Installer Responsibility

• Verify the gate operator usage class for the site. For all gate operators other than Crash-rated, refer to Identifying
Gate Operator Category and Usage Class in the product manual. Install the operator only when the gate
operator class is correct for the site, size, and type of gate.
• The gate operator must be properly grounded and the incoming power voltage must match the voltage label on
the junction box.
• Install an automatic operator only on gates that comply with ASTM F2200 Gate and Fence Standards. Screen or
enclose openings in the gate per UL 325 Safety Standards which include:
• All horizontal slide gates must guard or screen openings from the gate's base support to a minimum height of
6 feet (183 cm) above the ground. This must prevent a sphere of 2¼-inches (57mm) in diameter from passing
through an opening in the gate or the adjacent fence that is covered in the gate's open position.
• Physical stops must exist in the gate construction to prevent over-travel in both directions and, for slide gates,
guard posts must be installed to prevent the gate from falling in the event of a roller failure.
• Before attaching the operator to the gate, move the gate or barrier gate in both directions. Make sure it is level
and moves freely. A gate or barrier gate that moves easily reduces strain on operator components. Gravity should
play no part in the opening or closing of a slide gate.
• Never over-tighten a clutch or pressure relief valve to compensate for a stiff or damaged gate.
• Make sure all exposed pinch points, rollers and wheels are guarded.
• Reduce the risk of entrapment throughout the entire travel path by making sure the gate is installed in a location
which ensures the required clearance between the gate and adjacent structures when opening or closing. On
slide gates, minimize the parallel gap between the gate and the fence.
