F: GATE OPENER SYSTEM OPERATION & SAFETY GUIDE

To the Owner/End User of Allstar’s HDSWG 1000:

Thank you for choosing an Allstar product. We are confident you will have many years of use and satisfaction with your gate operator.

Our HDSWG 1000 Operator is part of your unique gate operating system, which may consist of a variety of components, including the gate, the gate tracks, posts, and electronic safety features. These components combined present certain risks and safety issues of which you, the end user, must be aware.

Each unique system presents a unique set of hazards which we cannot possibly address individually. These instructions will help you to identify the potential risks and safety issues your gate operator system presents, and guide you as you make your system as safe as possible for everyone who uses it.

Your first step is to consider the intended use of the gate system, who will be using the gate system, and in what manner the system is installed. You should have a clear understanding of how often the gate will be opened, who will be opening it, whether children and the general public will be near the gate system, and how close the gate system is to public property. Once you have answered these questions, you are ready to decide what safety measures must be taken to prevent injury.

To minimize the risk of entrapment in your gate system, install the following safety features:

Electric gate edges

Enclosed tracks

Vertical guard posts

Protective screen mesh

Photoelectric sensors

Instructional and precautionary signs

ALL APPROPRIATE SAFETY FEATURES MUST BE INCORPORATED INTO YOUR GATE SYSTEM.

Covers for exposed rollers

Each safety feature is a separate component in your gate system. Read and follow all intructions for each of the components of your unique system. Ensure that all instructions for mechanical components, safety features and the Allstar HDSWG 1000 are available for everyone who will be using your gate system.

The two warning signs shipped with your HDSWG 1000 Operator (See Figure 2, Page 4 of this manual) must be installed in prominant positions on both sides of your gate. Keep them clean and legible.

Read and follow the safety points on the following page which present the basic guidelines for the safest operation of your gate operator system.

PRECAUTIONS FOR PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC OR RESIDENTIAL AREAS.

The internal operator overload sensor may not be adequate entrapment protection in all situations to prevent arm, leg, or hand injuries. Padded electric gate edges, pneumatic gate edges, or photoelectric sensors are therefore necessary when automatic gates are used near pedestrian traffic. See the figure below. Use of a pedestrian walk gate

is mandatory where there is nearby pedestrian traffic.
