Page 4: Important Safety Information
Important Safety Information Because automatic gate operators produce high levels of force, consumers need to know the potential hazards associated with improperly designed, installed, and maintained automated gate opener systems. Keep in mind that the gate opener is just one component of the total gate op- erating system. - Page 5 Important Safety Information For the Installer and End User WARNING To reduce the risk of injury or death: READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote control away from children. Always keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.
- Page 6 Important Safety Information For the Installer and End User After Installation Attach the warning sign (included) to the gate to alert the public of automatic gate operation. The gate is automatic and could move at any time, posing serious risk of entrapment. No one should be in contact with the gate when it is moving or stationary.
