ELECTRICAL SAFETY
 Turn gate operator and all
circuit breakers OFF before
performing maintenance on
the gate operator or making
contact with output receptacles.
 NEVER insert any objects
into output receptacles during
operation. This is extremely
dangerous. The possibility
exists of electrical shock,
electrocution, or death.
 NEVER let power wires lay in water.
 NEVER use damaged or worn wire when
connecting equipment. Inspect for cuts in the
insulation.
 NEVER grab or touch a live
power cord or cable with wet
hands. The possibility exists of
electrical shock, electrocution
or death.
 Make sure power cables are securely connected
to the generator's output receptacles. Incorrect
connections may cause electrical shock and
damage to the generator.
 ALWAYS make certain that proper power has
been selected for the job. See Cable Selection
Chart in this manual.
GROUNDING SAFETY
 A LWAY S make sure that
electrical circuits are properly
grounded to a suitable earth
ground (ground rod) per the
National Electrical Code (NEC)
and local codes. Severe injury
or death by electrocution can result from
operating an ungrounded operator.
 NEVER use gas piping as an electrical ground.
