    Manual Release Make sure to teach all users how to turn off electric power and how to move the gate manually. FoldSmart allows a gate to be pushed manually if the quick disconnect bolt is removed from the actuator arm. It is recommended that you turn off DC power which disengages the motor allowing you to easily move the gate.

  • Page 23: Wind Load Factors & Site Prep

    If the gate is heavy and near the weight capacity of what the gate system can handle (see specifications for FoldSmart on the back cover), make sure it has an open design that allows wind to flow through it. A solid or semi-solid gate design under certain wind load conditions may cause damage to the gate system and is not covered by the Wallace Perimeter Security Limited Warranty.
