GATE OPERATOR
CLASSIFICATIONS
All gate operators can be divided into one of four different
classifications, depending on their design and usage.
Class I Residential Vehicular Gate Operator
A vehicular gate operator intended for use in a home of one to
four single family dwellings, or garage or parking area associ-
ated with these dwellings.
Class II Commercial / General Access Vehicular Gate
Operator
A vehicular gate operator intended for use in a commercial
location or building such as a multifamily housing unit of five
or more single family units, hotel, retail store or other building
servicing the general public.
Class III Industrial / Limited Access Vehicular Gate
Operator
A vehicular gate operator intended for use in an industrial
location or building such as a factory or loading dock area or
other location not intended to service the general public.
Class IV Restricted Access Vehicular Gate Operator
A vehicular gate operator intended for use in a guarded indus-
trial location or building such as an airport security area or
other restricted access locations not servicing the general
public, in which unauthorized access is prevented via supervi-
sion by security personnel.
IMPORTANT!!
Before installing the gate operator, make sure the gate's swing
is free and level throughout the entire swing path. If the gate
does not seem to operate properly, it may affect the operator
performance or greatly shorten the life of the unit. The gate
should be designed so that airflow is ample to prevent wind
resistance and drag.
SAFETY INFORMATION
Read the following before beginning to install OSCO swing
gate operators:
1. Read the orange "Safety Instructions" brochure enclosed
with the packet of information. If you do not have one,
please call OSCO at 1-800-333-1717 to request one. Read
and follow all instructions.
2. All electrical connections to the power supply must be
made by a licensed electrician and must observe all
national and local electrical codes.
3. A separate power-disconnect switch should be located
near the operator so that primary power can be turned off
when necessary.
4. Install the enclosed warning signs on both sides of the
gate. Each sign must be plainly visible from the side of
the gate on which they are mounted.
5. Never reach between, through or around the fence to
operate the gate.
6. You must install all required safety equipment.
PRE-INSTALLATION
