  • Page 5: System Designer Safety Instructions

    SYSTEM DESIGNER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ▲ 1. Familiarize yourself with the precautions and warnings for the installer. Users are relying on your design to provide a safe installation. ▲ 2. The operator is supplied with a primary obstruction sensing entrapment protection system. The installation must also have a secondary entrapment protection system installed, such as photoelectric sensors or an electric edge system.

  • Page 6: Installer Safety Instructions

    INSTALLER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION ▲ 1. Check to see that the operator is proper for this type and size of gate and its frequency of use. If you are not sure, consult factory. ▲ 2. Check to see that there are no structures adjacent to the area, which may pose a risk of entrapment when gate is opening or closing.

    ▲ Control 5. Locate the controls at Station least 10 feet from the moving gate so that the user can observe 10 feet the gate operation, but is not able to come in 10 feet contact with the gate while operating the controls.

  • Page 8: End User Safety Warnings

    END USER SAFETY WARNINGS The manufacturer of the gate operator does not know what type of gate you have, or what type of automatic system is installed on your gate. Be sure you’ve been fully instructed on the sequence of operation for your specific gate system(s). Keep the gate properly maintained and have a qualified service person make repairs.
  • Page 9 ▲ DO NOT increase force adjustment to compensate for a damaged gate. The gate should always be maintained to operate manually as easily as possible to provide maximum protection. ▲ 10. Check all safety systems at least once per month for the correct force, speed and sensitivity.
