WARNING

• Injuries occur when people get their hands or feet caught

between the top or bottom of the gate and the gate roller.

These potential pinch-points should be guarded against at all

times. Enclosed style gate tracks are available for refitting of

these rollers from many fence suppliers. Also, roller guards

are available for installing over the rollers.

• UL325 requires that, when used, contact sensors shall be

located at the leading edge, trailing edge, and be post

mounted both inside and outside of a vehicular horizontal

slide gate. Non-contact sensors such as photo eyes must

protect during both open and close gate cycles.

• Injuries occur when people put their hands and arms

through openings in the grill while the gate is operating.

They cannot retract their arm and it gets caught between the

moving gate grill and the stationary fence post or fence. This

potential hazard can be averted by placing a 4' screen mesh

on the gate to prevent access through openings anywhere

the gate may travel. See Safety Brochure for details.

To prevent entrapment injuries, mount controls at least 6'

from the gate or any moving parts of the gate.
