F:GATE OPENER SYSTEM OPERATION & SAFETY 
AVOID ENTRAPMENT: Stay away from the path of the gate 
and all moving parts (gate arms, etc.) at all times. Keep clear of the pinch points identified below.. Install guards or other safety features to
prevent access to pinch point areas. Install guards on open rollers.
PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH: Do not stand
near or on the gate. Gate may be activated without notice. Do not allow anyone to “ride” the gate, or place arms or legs through the gate. The force of the gate can cause serious personal injury or death.
NO CHILDREN OR PETS ALLOWED: Never allow a child to
operate gate controls, “ride” a gate, or play in the area of a gate. Install and store all controls out of children’s reach. Also, pets must be kept away from the gate. Install a pedestrian gate in applications where children or pets need access.
INSTALL SAFETY DEVICES: In residential applications or in 
areas where pedestrians may be present, or if your gate closes automatically, be sure an electric edge(s) and/or a photoelectric sensor(s) has (have) been installed and is/are operating properly. These features are
intended to detect pedestrian traffic and prevent injury or entrapment.
Loop detectors may be installed to detect vehicular traffic and prevent vehicular damage.
MAINTAIN THE GATE AND GATE HARDWARE: A
damaged gate or one that cannot be easily opened and closed manually must be repaired before installing a gate operator. A poorly operating gate may cause the load sensing device of the operator to fail, causing a risk of entrapment. Never overtighten the clutch or load sensing device to compensate for a poorly swinging gate. Correct all mechanical problems on the gate and gate hardware before installing the gate operator.
KEEP GATE IN SIGHT: Never activate the gate unless it is in 
sight. Install mounted controls in full view of the gate. Be sure the gate area is clear before activating the gate, and watch the gate and gate area
as the gate is in motion.
LOCATE MANUAL CONTROLS SAFELY: A manual
control such as a pushbutton or keyswitch must be included in your gate system design to be used if automatic controls such as radio controls or loop detectors do not function. Carefully consider the placement of the manual control: It must be out of reach of the gate so that no one pushing the button or inserting the card is in the path of the gate or moving parts; it must also be within sight of the gate so that the operator can watch the gate and gate area during operation. The recommended minimum distance between the gate or fence and manual conrols accessory is 10 feet.
MAINTAIN ALL COMPONENTS OF GATE SYSTEM:
Follow the maintenance instructions included with the gate, the gate operator, and the safety features and/or accessories that make up your gate operator system. Have a professional service technician perform any adjustments or maintainence to the components. Fully test all safety features routinely. Discontinue the use of faulty safety equipment immediately, and have the equipment replaced.
KNOW YOUR GATE ARM DISCONNECT FEATURE: In
the event of a power outage, you may need to manually operate your gate. The HDSWG 1000 is equipped with a keyed padlock to
permit the gate arm to be manually disconnected from the HDSWG 1000 operator. This will allow you to manually push the gate open or close as needed. Be sure to have the service technician or dealer installing your gate system give you the key to the padlock and show you how to use this feature quickly and safely. Keep the key in a safe, accessible place.
