IMPORTANT Safety instructions

ATTENTION
To ensure the safety of people, it is important that you read all
the following instructions. Incorrect installation or incorrect
use of the product could cause serious harm to people and/or
property.
The installer, being either professional or DIY, is the last
person on the site who can ensure that the operator is safely
installed, and that the whole system can be operated safely.
This Safety Instruction Sheet must be passed on to the end-
user responsible for operating the system during the handover.
Warnings for the installer
CAREFULLY READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
BEGINNING TO INSTALL THE PRODUCT
1. All installation, repair, and service work to this product must be
done by a suitably qualified person.
2. Endstops capable of stopping the gate at rated speed are mandatory
and must be fitted to prevent the gate from overrunning its limits for
any reason. Failure to do this could result in the gate falling onto
persons and causing serious injury or death. Refer to
specifications of the operator to determine the operating speed.
3. Safety devices such as gate safety infrared beams must be fitted
to the installation to prevent the gate from moving should anything be
in the path of the gate. The mechanical movement of the gate presents
risks such as crushing, dragging and shearing.
4. A Passive Sensitive Edge high-density foam strip should be fitted
to all shearing edges of the gate installation. The Passive Sensitive
Edge helps absorb the kinetic energy of a moving gate in the event of a
collision, and provides additional time for the inherent electronic anti-
crushing technology of the operator to react.
5. It is recommended that at least one warning indicator light be fitted
to every system.
6. Always fit the warning signs visibly to the inside and outside of the
gate.
7. Do not activate your gate operator unless you can see it and can
determine that its area of travel is clear of people, pets, or other
obstructions.
8. If a pedestrian gate opening device, such as a keypad, has been fitted
it is recommended to always have a pre-opening delay activated
when operating the pedestrian opening. This will allow a pedestrian
sufficient time to ensure that he/she is well clear of the gate before it
begins to move. Pedestrian gate opening devices should always be
installed on the opposing end of the gate to where the operator is
located to ensure that the gate opens away from where the pedestrian
is standing.
9. NO ONE MAY CROSS THE PATH OF A MOVING GATE. Always keep
people and objects away from the gate and its area of travel.
10. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
