Installation; Gate Operator Position - Maximum Controls MAX MEGATRON 1400HP Installation And Owner's Manual

Read and understand this entire manual before installation. Check with the local building department prior to installing this gate
operator to comply with local building code requirements. The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is
supplied between the gate and adjacent structures when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment. Swinging gates
should not open into public access areas.

Gate Operator position

The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions prior to installation of the gate operator.
