WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury or death:

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

Installation should be performed by a professional installer.

Required welding should be performed by a qualified welder.

Should electricity be required, use a certified electrician only.

Any device that requires 120 Volts AC should be U.L. approved.

Review with the owner all safety concerns including:

Do not operate the gate unless area around gate is in full view.

Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote control away from children.

Always keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.

Periodically test the obstruction sensitivity to assure safe and proper operation. Do not test sensitivity by standing between the gate and the hinge or stop post.

Do not allow children to play with the gate controls.

The “CAUTION AUTOMATIC GATE” signs should be clearly visible from both sides of the gate.

Always insure that the gate has closed securely before leaving area.

Arrange with local fire and law enforcement for emergency access.

Use the emergency release only when the gate is not moving.

Use safety devices such as loop detectors, edge switches, and beam detectors whenever possible.

Install control devices such as keypads far enough away (5 feet or further) from any moving parts of the operator and gate to prevent possible injury.

Do not install control box where the gate can come in contact with person using the push button on side of control box.

Always disconnect the battery or power source when making adjustments or repairs to any part of the gate or operator.

All rollers should be covered to prevent injury.

KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the owner’s manual. Have a qualified service person make repairs to gate hardware.

The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must use separate entrance.

Test the gate operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object or stop when an object activates the non contact sensors. After adjusting the force or limit of travel, retest the gate operator. Failure to adjust and retest the gate operator properly can increase the risk of injury or death.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
