Important Installation Instruc
1. Install the gate operator only when the
following conditions have been met:
• The operator is appropriate for the type
and usage class of the gate.
• All openings of a horizontal slide gate
have been guarded or screened from
the bottom of the gate to a minimum
of 4 feet (1.25 m) above the ground to
prevent a 2.25 inch (55 mm) diameter
sphere from passing through openings
anywhere in the gate or through that
portion of the adjacent fence that the
gate covers when in the open position.
• All exposed pinch points are eliminated
or guarded.
• Guarding is supplied for exposed rollers.
2. The operator is intended for installation on
gates used by vehicles only. Pedestrians
must be provided with a separate access
opening.
3. To reduce the risk of entrapment when
opening and closing, the gate must be
installed in a location that allows adequate
clearance between the gate and adjacent
structures. Swinging gates shall not open
outward into public access areas.
4. Before installing the gate operator, ensure
that the gate has been properly installed
and that it swings freely in both directions.
Do not over-tighten the operator clutch or
pressure relief valve to compensate for a
damaged gate.
5. User controls must be installed at least 6
feet (1.83 m) away from any moving part
of the gate and located where the user
is prevented from reaching over, under,
around or through the gate to operate the
controls. Controls located outdoors or those
that are easily accessible shall have security
features to prevent unauthorized use.
